helens little critters. S&S exotic animals also

Before buying a pet primate of any type, you should first ensure that they are legal in your state, that you have access to a veterinarian who will see the animal (not all will), and that you have the knowledge, time, and dedication to take care of the animal. Taking care of a primate is like taking care of a small child, regardless of its age--and many species are long-lived. You also have to consider other aspects of their behavior. For example, bush babies are also known to urine washing, meaning they urinate on their hands and track their scent around everywhere they go. They cannot be broken of this behavior.

There are many risks involved in keeping primates. Consider reading the document from the IFAW located in the Related Links: "Born to be wild: Primates are not pets"

Whether you can legally own a bushbaby as a pet will vary from region to region. If they are legal to own in your area, exotic pet dealers would sell them, but they are usually low-profile and sell exotic animals from their homes.

I would advise against getting a bushbaby as a pet. They urine wash (urinate on their hands and feet) and track it around everywhere, they have a specialized diet that is challenging and expensive to replicate, and they are nocturnal, meaning they are likely to be asleep when you went to interact with them and likely to be awake when you're asleep. There are many more reasons why primates should not be kept as pets.
