Facts:
There are nine different type of capuchin species. This is the most common, The white-headed capuchin, also known as the white-faced or white-throat.Capuchin monkey can live in groups up to 30 monkey, and each monkey should always have a monkey companion. Capuchin monkeys weight 3-9 pounds. A typical diet for capuchin monkeys includes fruit, insects, leaves and small birds. They are particularly good at catching frogs and cracking nuts, and it is suspected that they may also feed on small mammals. Females spend their entire life with their female kin, while males migrate to different groups multiple times during the course of their lifetime. female produce their first offspring at about 6-7 year old. Females bear young every two years following a 160 to 180 days gestation. Female only have 1 baby, but can have twins. Adult male capuchin rarely take part in caring for the young. Males can mate with females around the ages of 7-8 years. Females become fully mature when age 4 and males, age 8. In captivity capuchin can reach age 45+, although life in nature is only 15 to 25 years. Capuchins are considered the most intelligent New World monkey. Capuchin are kept as exotic pets. They are also trained to be of help. These monkeys can help brighten disabled people life by providing companionship and friendship. Many of the disabled people are left alone for many hours of the day since their families cannot be with them at all times. Young monkeys are adopted by families and raised much like a child. Because of the way they are raised, they become affectionate and content. When the monkey is old enough, it is sent to the Helping Hands Training Center in Boston for formal training.

Occasional cricket (cricket should be dusted in vionate) as a treat. Some will really enjoy this, others won't know what to do with it.
Other meats such as cooked fish, chicken, turkey, beef are sometimes enjoyed. Offer teaspoon-sized portions. Minimize intake of human sweets, dessert foods, milk products, carbohydrates and fats. It is OK to give the monkey one human child's vitamin tablet 2-3 times a week.
Avoid foods which have been enriched with iron such as fortified cereals. Other treats occasionally: soaked raisins, other types of fruit - portion of treats daily should be less than 1 teaspoon in volume!
* Lettuce mix ingredients are placed in a chopper and mixed. Use long and thin pieces.
Capuchins need large space and lots of toys. Always buy new things and switch around their room or living space as they can get bored. When buying a capuchin it is advised to buy two. These animals do not need to be along (with just humans) they need a monkey play mate or they will get very stressful. Capuchin monkeys need an outdoor enclosure, for they will die without a lot of sunlight. Buy toys that are tested safe for babies and toddlers. Take your monkey out for a walk using a collar or halter and leash. Although your monkey will probably choose to ride on your shoulder, you do need that leash to grab him if he starts getting into something he shouldn't. Find a good veterinarian to deal with your monkey's health concerns. Your capuchin will need a complete health exam once a year, complete with TB test, parasite examination and a complete blood screening. Your local veterinarian may have particular vaccination requirements for monkeys, so you'll need to call around in order to find a vet who is up to speed on monkey care. If you are having difficulty locating one, call your nearest zoo and see if they can recommend a vet.
WARNING:
Capuchins are very clever at being able to escape from cages, collars and leashes, so check with fellow monkey owners to see how they manage to monkey-proof these items
Keep all medications, matches, lighters and so on out of the reach of your monkey, the same as you would do with a small child
Write about health, exotic animals, pets, farm animals, and farms, and entertainment.
