Before buying a capuchin monkey, you should know that they require a lot of care, effort, and space. Not every home can provide the environment they need.
In the wild, capuchins live in trees, swinging from branch to branch. This is less of an issue when they are young, but as they grow, it can become a real challenge. Therefore, providing a habitat that mimics their natural environment is essential.
Buying a capuchin whose parents were domesticated can reduce some behavioral challenges, although it won’t eliminate them entirely. That’s why all of our capuchin monkeys for sale come from domesticated parents. Additionally, we never capture wild animals to sell as pets.
Capuchins are not the only monkeys we offer. We also have marmosets, also called finger monkeys. If you’re interested, click here to explore them.
Before purchasing a capuchin monkey, check your state and local laws. They are not legal everywhere in the US. Currently, capuchins are legal in:
Nevada, North Carolina, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Ohio, Alabama, West Virginia, Indiana, Arkansas, Wyoming, North Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas.
However, laws change frequently, so verify your location before buying.
Capuchins share about 97% of their DNA with humans, but they have weaker immune systems. As a result, feeding must be handled carefully.
In the wild, capuchins eat fruit, insects, leaves, small birds, frogs, nuts, and occasionally small mammals. As pets, you should provide high-quality formulated monkey chow. Additionally, you can supplement their diet occasionally with the foods mentioned above or small amounts of cooked meat. Always consult a veterinarian for portion sizes.
Capuchins need plenty of space to swing, climb, and explore. Unfortunately, most private homes cannot provide naturalistic enclosures. Lack of space can cause boredom, frustration, and even aggression.
If you decide to buy a capuchin, offer as much room as possible. Include trees, ropes, shaded areas, and toys. Moreover, if you allow them free rein in your home, make sure it is monkey-proofed. Even with precautions, their intelligence and curiosity make escapes likely.
We offer capuchin monkeys for sale in Texas as well as other states in the US. Therefore, if you live in Texas, you can safely purchase from our listings. Also, refer to the legal states above to ensure compliance.
