 Name: SpankyCommon Name: Common Marmoset Latin Name: Callithrix jacchus About: Spanky came to us in April 2009. His previous owners had tried to provide for all his requirements, however the vendor had mis-informed them of his requirements. Spanky had been sold to live on his own in a parrot cage. Primates are social animals and except on rare occasions should always be housed with or by other primates. Spanky's owners kept him alone for about 6 months before realising that he was suffering and was depressed. They contacted us to ask if we could offer a home and Spanky made the long journey down from Scotland with his owners. I am pleased to say that Spanky has been successfully introduced to another male which was handed in the following week and they are now the beginnings of a new bachelor group we are establishing. Please do not buy a single pet monkey. ALL primates require specialist care regarding diet & housing. |
 Name: Black Cap CapuchinCommon Name: Black Cap Capuchin Latin Name: Cebus apella About: During 2008 Mole Hall Wildlife Park was closed at short notice due to family illness. Amongst the animals we rehomed from there were a colony of Black Cap Capuchin. The dominant male was forcing the 3 younger males away from food and generally making their lives a misery. After assessing the situation it was decided to remove the 3 young males and run them a batchelor groups. Since this was done they have settled well and are feeding more while gaining in confidence every day. The original group are also much more stable with the single old male. |
 Name: Common MarmosetCommon Name: Common Marmoset Latin Name: Callithrix jacchus About: During 2008 Mole Hall Wildlife Park was closed at short notice due to family illness. Amongst the animals we rehomed from there were a pair of Common Marmosets and a single female Marmoset. The single female went to join another lone ex-pet Common Marmoset and a pair of Squirrel Monkeys, also from Mole Hall. The other pair of Common Marmosets went to live with a single female Squirrel Monkey whose mate had died a few months previously. They are now enjoying life in the trees with an island all to themselves. |
 Name: Squirrel MonkeysCommon Name: Squirrel Monkeys Latin Name: Saimiri sciureus About: During 2008 Mole Hall Wildlife Park was closed at short notice due to family illness. Amongst the animals we rehomed from there were a pair of elderly Squirrel Monkeys. They and a single female Common Marmoset went to join a single male Common Marmoset which we had previously placed out on loan after he came to us as an ex-pet. Within 6 hours of meeting the marmosets had paired up and we sharing a nest box without arguing. The next day the squirrel monkeys were also choosing to share the same box! This is particularly good news as due to the Squirrel Monkeys ages it is likely that we may loose one due to old age. If this happens it ensures that the remaining Squirrel Monkey will have company. |
