Pet Monkey

Does anyone know where you can buy pet monkeys in the Zurich area, I’m thinking about getting one for the kids. And also if are any special requirements? For instance I've heard that you have to keep certain pets like guinea pigs in pairs.

You are joking of course...

Pet monkeys you say? not sure you'll find many in any pet shops round this neck of the woods

And in case you are not joking, I suggest you read the subject up a bit. Google monkeys as pets and things like this come up.

Kids = monkeys. You dont really need another.

Why not a hamster?

I wanted to get a pet monkey to ride my dog but the better half said no!! Darn it.

Seriously, get'em a PS3 or something.

What's with the first posts from newbies blowing our minds these days?

You could go get drunk in Prague and wake up with a monkey.

[that's what they call a hangover]

Ok, I'll try to be more helpful.

Will he do?

PS: I'll even take the tea bags off you.

I need that fricken monkey Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh

maybe it's the guy looking for an escort thinking he might have more chance spanking the monkey

A year and a half on EF, and now is the time, and on this subject, for your first post?!

pretty impressive.... full marks for the intro

Moderate his asssssssss.

Brilliant comment. I just cant stop laughing. somehow its just too funny.

Few things can get me tears in my eyes, but reading your comment and seeing it is in fact his first post, was one of the things that could.

Look forward for the OP`s next post

Doc.

Hmmmm, I don't think it is such a clever idea to get a monkey pet for various reasons;

1. In doing so you are promoting the removal of these creatures frim their wild habitat

2. Monkeys are lovely but unpredictable. A friend of an acquaintance of mine had a monkey which one day bit their baby who was crying in the parm in the face

3. Do you have a huge villa with trees and garden which can be closed? Monkeys need large spaces to climb and exercise. If bored they become destructive. Keeping him in a cage is not nice

4. Who will take care of your monkey when u go on holiday?

I think it would be best for ALL in the long term if you get your kids a puppy or a kitten, maybe save one from a shelter.

I also think that you are opening up a barrel load of monkeys with this plan!

Read up on the bush meat trade and see where the cute baby monkeys actually come from!!

I suppose you could take a drive to Gibraltar and leave the back door open - plenty monkeys there.
