Pygmy marmosets eat sap and gum from trees, which are located within their territories. They use their claws to drill a hole into the tree. The pygmy marmosets wait for the sap to ooze out of the hole they created. They immediately suck the sap form the hole. Sap is the most important food in their diet, without it they would not survive in the wild. Pygmy marmosetsare gumnivors. Pygmy marmosets also eat Spiders, butterflies, frogs, lizards, snails, small, juicy buds, flowers and grasshoppers. Grasshoppers are pygmy marmosets' favorite food. To catch one a pygmy marmoset may even venture down to the ground. Something they rarely do. When catching butterflies, the pygmies go and eat sap. The sap attracts the butterflies, which are then easy to catch.
