    If you really want monkies - You will need to import from the uk or from the north - You do realise monkies smell & bite?????????

    If you really are interested in learning more check this site out http://steveman.conforums.com/index.cgi?action=login2

    Marmosets are about £1000 a pair - & monkies need to be in pairs or groups!

    Magnolia Fan,

    Are you serious or trolling?

    Keeping a monkey as a pet is not a great idea. A lot of monkeys just aren't suitable to be kept as pets and become very unhappy and destructive (especially when they reach their "teenage years"). They're not meant to be kept as pets.

    But tarzans monkeys are always well mannered and come when they are called, and that one that hangs around with Clint Eastwood and the pgtips monkeys and the monkey butlers in the Simpsons.......

    Clint Eastwood hung around with an Orangutan. Wasn't tarzan's monkey called "cheetah" or something ?

    Yeah but what about the likes of Mojo Jojo from the Powerpuff Girls? He's an evil supervillain.

    Orangutan, monkey, man they are all simians, dont be so pedantic :P

    But yes I never thought about that powerpuff villain, damn, maybe monkeys are not such a good idea, especially ones with aspirations towards world domination.

    ah in the famous words of Abe(grampa) Simpson "I can't wait to eat that monkey"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,733 ✭✭✭Blub2k4


    I can get you a monkey for a pony. ( said in a Del Boy accent)

    As much as I'd love to have a monkey (and believe me, I'd REALLY LIKE a monkey) I just wouldn't have the time or the enviroment to look after it.

    I'm pretty happy with my monkey Darwin though... that's him in my sig...

    He may just be a glove puppet.. but he's real to me...

    He's actually very well made.. so lovely to touch and he has such a long beautiful tail... If I can make it along to the next Boardstock I'll bring Darwin with me so you can all see how great he is...

    My mom actually had a monkey when she was younger but she grew up in America. Her sister brought it outside to play with him and forgot to put on his little monkey jacket and he died. She said he was a great pet, I know about the monkey teen years but it doesn't happen to all monkeys just the overwhelming majority and sure if it does happen thats why toilet flush lol J/K


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,846 ✭✭✭✭eth0_


    I'm pretty sure you need to have a licence to keep an exotic animal like a monkey.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,304 ✭✭✭✭koneko


    Yeah, I get the distinct impression you're trolling, particularly after the comments in your last post. Feel free to PM me if you're actually serious, otherwise this is most likely getting locked.
