Best Answer

Marmosets are highly active, living in the upper canopy of forest trees, and feeding on insects, fruit, small animals, and leaves. They have long lower incisors, which allow them to chew holes in tree trunks and branches to harvest the gum inside; some species are specialized feeders on gum.
