Capuchin monkeys for sale

Capuchins are the clever ones. They learn fast, use tools, open anything a toddler can open, and form very close bonds with the people who raise them. That is what makes them rewarding, and also what makes them a lot of work.

Our capuchins are bottle-fed from a young age, wear diapers, and are used to being handled, bathed and taken to the vet. A capuchin can live 25 to 40 years, so we only place them with families who have thought that far ahead.

Common questions about capuchins

How much does a capuchin monkey cost?

Each capuchin's price is on its own page and depends on age and temperament. The lifetime cost of housing, food and vet care is far higher than the purchase price.

Are capuchins good pets?

For the right family, yes. They are affectionate and smart, but they need hours of attention every day, a secure enclosure, and a plan for care that may outlast you.

Do your capuchins come diaper-trained?

Most of them are wearing diapers comfortably before they go home, and we show you the routine we use.
