Marmoset monkeys for sale

Marmosets are the smallest and most manageable monkeys we raise. An adult common marmoset weighs about as much as a can of soup, and a pygmy marmoset weighs less than a bar of soap. They chirp, whistle and chatter all day, and they are happiest with company.

Every marmoset we sell is bottle-fed in our living room from a few weeks old, handled every day, and seen by an exotic-animal vet before it leaves. If you are new to primates, a marmoset is usually where we suggest starting.

Twiggy

$1,300

Pygmy Marmoset

Female · 12 weeks old · Hand-raised

Twiggy is the smallest monkey we have. She fits in the palm of a hand and weighs less than a bar of soap. Pygmy marmosets are what people mean by finger monkeys: tiny, quick, and busy all day. She is fully weaned onto gum, fruit and insects, and she has the boldest character here in the smallest body.

Willow, a Common Marmoset (finger monkey)
Available

Willow

$1,300

Common Marmoset (finger monkey)

Female · 3 months old · Hand-raised

Willow is Pip's sister and the gentler of the pair. She watches a new room carefully before she commits to it, then explores every inch of it. She loves mealworm treats, warm blankets, and being carried in a chest pouch while the household goes about its day. Marmosets thrive in company, so we would happily discuss a discount if she goes home with her brother.

Pip, a Common Marmoset
Available

Pip

$1,500

Common Marmoset

Male · 3 months old · Hand-raised

Pip follows us from room to room. He is the first to climb onto a shoulder and the last to let go. We have raised him in our living room since he was three weeks old. He takes his formula without a fuss and chirps a greeting when he hears the kitchen door. He shares a hammock with his sister and would settle well into a calm home where someone is around.

Common questions about marmosets

How much does a marmoset cost?

Prices depend on age and temperament, and every marmoset's price is listed on its own page. Expect to budget more for housing, diet and vet care over the years than for the monkey itself.

Should I get one marmoset or two?

Marmosets live in family groups in the wild and do noticeably better in pairs. We often sell siblings together and will talk through a companion price with you.

Are marmosets legal to own?

It depends on your state and sometimes your county or city. We check the rules where you live before we accept any reservation.
