Prosimians and Tarsiers
Most primitive of the primates They’re NOT monkeys nor apes Nocturnal and sensitive Socialized and tropical Most are endangered

Before getting a Nonhuman Pet Primate you must… Make sure your primate has been bred in the
U.S. and not imported. Center for Disease Control of the United States
Public Health Service Regulation in 1976
Realize that monkeys are complex social/emotional animals "high-care/high-need", "difficult" pets

Before getting a Nonhuman Pet Primate you must… Know that they are
Virtually impossible to toilet train Can be destructive of property Have a high propensity for biting As they mature, their behavior becomes less
predictable

carrying zoonotic diseases: Hepatitis Tuberculosis
Owners should test their pets at least once a year. Owners should be tested once a year.

Primate Housing Have the proper sized
housing setups from day one.
Should allow large motor exercise, running and leaping.

Primate Housing
Cages for display are not usually large enough.
Cage must be setup with easy, hands-off cleaning in mind.

Nutrition for Old World and New World Primates Nutritional deficiencies:
Owner’s lack of knowledge
Common protein deficiencies high level of fruits and
starches
Many owners feed table foods an not commercial biscuits or canned diets.

Vitamin Deficiency
Vitamin C Supplements needed due to decreased levels in
diet after 90 days of storage. Daily fresh fruits or monkey vitamins 1-4 mg/kg of body weight every day Causes:
Swelling of long bones and hemorrhaging of the gums
![Page 46: PRIMATE Husbandry and Nutrition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816864550346895ddebbca/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Vitamin Deficiency
Vitamin D3 (New World Monkeys) Supplements needed due to insufficient sunlight. 2000 IU per kg every day Causes:
Soft bones, bone deformities and multiple fractures.
![Page 47: PRIMATE Husbandry and Nutrition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816864550346895ddebbca/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
How much should I feed my primate? Consumption of adults:
3% to 5% of their body weight DAILY
Waste a lot of food Greater quantity should be
offered. Offer “meals” 2-3 times a
day instead of once daily. http://www.awionline.org/lab_animals/LAREF/Jen-Salad%2014.jpg
![Page 48: PRIMATE Husbandry and Nutrition](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816864550346895ddebbca/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
How about treats? Commercial food
80% to 90% of daily intake
Treats Fresh fruits Vegetables Commercial “treats”
New World monkeys Mealworms Crickets Canned dog food Hard broiled eggs

OVERVIEW: Do RESEARCH!!
Check with your state and county for local laws.
Have the right cage size for your primate.
