It all depends on YOU as the owner. If you can provide a monkey with 24/7 companionship, enrichment, large enclosures, and specialized dietary needs, then yes they can be great pets. The relationship built with exotics is very rewarding, but must be entered into under the right circumstances. Primates require an exceptional amount of work, time, and patience. Capuchins are very smart and can get into almost anything and wreak havoc in your home in a matter of minutes, which may require hours of cleaning. I have two squirrel monkeys and my mother-in-law has 3 capuchins. We dedicate our lives to them. And we would not have it any other way. We love them, but most people think we are crazy for devoting the amount of time/energy we do. The most important thing before acquiring a monkey is to RESEARCH. It will enable you to properly care for it. Monkey ownership can be the best experience of your life or the worst. It all depends on how you educate yourself.
