Adorable Female Marmoset Monkeys for Sale

Description

Looking for a sweet, intelligent pet monkey? We have healthy female marmoset monkeys available, raised in Florida and ready for homes worldwide. Our common and pygmy marmosets (often called finger monkeys) are fully weaned and socialized. Each tiny monkey is about the size of a Barbie doll (around 5–7 inches long, under 9 oz). These New World primates are very curious and playful – in the wild they feed on tree gum, sap and insectsen.wikipedia.org. In captivity, we provide a balanced diet of specialty pellets (like ZuPreem Marmoset Diet), fresh fruits, veggies and protein (mealworms, eggs) to mimic their natural diet. Our educational listing makes it easy to learn about marmoset care, so new owners know what to expect.

• Bella – A gentle common marmoset female born 2023. Loves tropical fruits and cuddling.
• Luna – An energetic pygmy marmoset (finger monkey) born 2024. Curious climber, very playful.
• Daisy – A sweet, calm common marmoset female. Good with kids (supervised) and friendly with visitors.
• Nova – A bold pygmy marmoset female. Adventurous and intelligent, excellent at exploring her space.
• Ivy – A loving common marmoset female. Enjoys being held and interacting; very trainable and affectionate.

Each name is just an example – we welcome buyers to pick or keep the given name. These females are current pet monkey babies who will grow to about 15–20 years old with proper care. They are ideal as pets for experienced keepers: a leading breeder notes that marmosets are “highly intelligent” with “special requirements” and need “dedication and time”. (They truly are exotic – often called “finger monkeys” and even in the pet trade “the smallest primate in the world”.)

About Our Female Marmoset Monkeys

Marmosets (Callithrix spp.) are social, active primates. In the wild they live in family groups and use vocal calls and clawed fingers to forage. Common marmosets average about 7.3 inches body length (plus a 10-inch tail) and 8–9 oz in weight. Pygmy marmosets (“finger monkeys”) are even smaller – only ~4.6–6.0 inches long and ~100–140 g (3–5 oz). Both types have soft fur with distinct markings (e.g. white ear tufts on common marmosets). For example, a female common marmoset typically weighs ~236 g. Importantly, all marmoset species have long tails and claws (not flat nails) – gibbon apes, by contrast, have no tails.

These marmosets are fully socialized as pets. They come from legally-bred stock, vaccinated, and are ready for hand-fed training. We emphasize education – owners learn how marmosets behave like tiny toddlers, requiring constant supervision and enrichment. They sleep in warm places, groom each other, and can be taught simple commands (using clicker or treats) with patience. We do not recommend marmosets as “starter pets”; they demand specialized care. (One breeder warns: these monkeys are “the most difficult animals we raise… requiring special lighting, diet, veterinary care”.)

Care, Cage and Diet

To keep a marmoset healthy, a large, stimulating enclosure is essential. We use towers or custom cages at least 6 × 6 × 6 ft, furnished with multiple climbing branches, ropes, tunnels and nest boxes. (Marmosets in the wild are arboreal and need space to jump and climb.) The room is kept warm (75–85°F) and humidity moderate. We provide UV lighting and regular veterinary check-ups with a primate-experienced vet.

Diet is key: our marmosets eat a high-quality primate diet. We feed ZuPreem Marmoset pellets (a complete extruded diet) supplemented with fresh fruits (bananas, papayas), vegetables, and live insects like mealworms for protein. They also get melamine or gum paste treats to mimic their natural sap-feeding behavioren.wikipedia.org. (In the wild they strip bark to eat tree gum and hunt insectsen.wikipedia.org.) With this diet and enrichment, our marmosets grow and reproduce normally. We stress that marmosets require constant social interaction; we feed, cuddle, and play with them daily.

Lifespan and Temperament

With proper care, female marmosets live 15–20 years in captivity. Many of our own have reached 12+ years so far. They reach sexual maturity around 12–16 months. We spay/neuter all our monkeys before sale (breeding is too complex for first-time owners). Females are generally calmer; our hand-raised females bond closely with their humans. All our females are healthy, dewormed, microchipped, and have a clean bill of health.

Marmosets are very intelligent: they recognize people and learn routines. They need toys, puzzles, and interaction – for instance, they may push a ball or retrieve food hidden in a puzzle feeder. We teach our monkeys positive behaviors (see our care guide). Importantly, they can be potty-trained with target signals over time (though diapers are often used for cleanliness when indoors).

Comparison with Other Monkeys and Fun Facts

Many exotic-pet enthusiasts compare marmosets to other primates. Here are some quick facts (to satisfy your curiosity and SEO!):

• Capuchin & Squirrel Monkeys: Much larger than marmosets, these “pet monkey” breeds weigh several pounds. Capuchins are smart but can be rough; indeed, capuchin bites can be serious. By contrast, marmosets (especially pygmy “finger monkeys”) are small and gentler for experienced owners.
• Spider & Howler Monkeys: Even larger New World monkeys (prevalent in rainforests). Spider monkey pictures are common online, but owning one requires enormous space (and it’s not legal to sell in many places).
• Gibbons (Asian apes): These are not monkeys (they have no tails) and are much bigger (up to 20+ lbs). Gibbons normally do not attack humans unless provoked. We mention them only to highlight differences: Gibbons live in SE Asia jungles, sing loud calls, and are protected. Marmosets, by contrast, are tail-bearing monkeys from South America.
• Baboons, Gorillas, Chimpanzees: These African primates are far larger and completely wild. They appear in “monkey pictures” galleries online, but of course we are not selling those – only tiny marmosets. We do showcase fun images of “monkey pics” (capuchins, gorillas, orangutans, etc.) on our blog to educate readers. For example, our site has cute galleries of animal photos – from “funny monkey pictures” and “monkey images HD” to adorable baboon photos and even raccoon pictures – to spark interest. (Even armadillo pictures and “picture of a gorilla face” have been used in our educational slideshows!)
• Proboscis Monkeys: Not pets – known for their huge noses. Fun fact: male proboscis monkeys have evolved large noses to amplify their honking calls to attract mates. We include such tidbits for learners, but again, we do not sell proboscis monkeys. We sell marmosets.

We cater especially to families who enjoy both pets and wildlife education. Our site even mentions popular culture primates (e.g. cartoon monkeys and animal movie characters) to make learning fun. (Rio movie fans might recall characters like Pedro and Nico – we note them while clarifying that our species are different.) Our goal is an educational tone: to truly understand marmosets, we offer facts (with sources!) as well as community tips.

Adoption, Pricing and Regulations

We are licensed and FL-CITES-compliant. All our sales comply with Florida and U.S. law. (Note: Florida requires special permits for pet primates – a wildlife possession permit for owners and a sale permit for breeders.) We ship worldwide only to countries where marmoset ownership is legal (with proper import/export paperwork). Our customers handle local permits (we guide them through the process).

As exotic pets, marmosets are not cheap. Genuine pygmy marmosets (“finger monkeys”) typically cost $1,000–$4,000. Common marmosets are less expensive, but still a significant investment. Any offer like “finger monkey for sale $100” is almost certainly a scam. We price our females competitively (contact us for quotes) and include a detailed care package (diet, vet care, Zupreem diet).

Because owning a monkey is a lifetime commitment, we screen buyers carefully. We require a secure habitat, vet references, and a willingness to meet all care needs (monkeys often live 20+ years). Interested owners are educated on topics like “marmoset diapers” (yes, indoor toilet training), lifetime cost, and compatibility with children. We even cover fun requests like “finger monkey toy” – note, our real finger monkeys need real care, not just a toy!

Adopting a marmoset is like adopting a very smart, toddler-like pet. In return, you get years of companionship with one of nature’s cutest primates. We aim to make that transition easy by providing education, care items (appropriate marmoset pellets, treats, enrichment toys), and plenty of photos (we love sharing monkey pictures of our current babies!).
