Considering A Pet Macaque Monkey
Insights, Availability, Costs, and Wisconsin Regulations.
You might think owning a monkey is an interesting idea, especially bear macaw mandrills for pets. These monkeys are known for their extreme intelligence and very sophisticated social customs. Their faces are expressive with distinctive features and immensely playful. Therefore, some people consider them exotic pets. But there is a need to ponder a bit deeper before adopting a pet monkey, particularly a baby macaque monkey. This requires consideration of various important factors, including cost, availability, and legal issues, especially in Wisconsin.
Understanding Macaque Monkeys as Pets
Having a pet monkey is like having a small, adorable friend in your home. These pets are also considered very intelligent. They have sophisticated family structures. Macques live in social groups and engage in various physical and mental activities. Suppose they are kept in a domesticated setting like a house or an apartment. In that case, it’s very difficult to replicate this, which can cause severe behavioral problems. An owner must accommodate a multi-dimensional approach to meeting a Macaque’s needs. People wanting these pets should also be ready for the commitment because pet monkeys, particularly macaques, can live for decades.

Social Media Groups:
- Facebook has groups that serve as communities where enthusiasts and owners can share experiences.
- For instance, one user posted about some ‘adorable’ capuchin monkeys for sale, and comments highlighted how sweet and playful they are.
Educational Videos:
Some mini-documentaries feature “pet monkeys,” showing how smart and charismatic they can be. One video of a pet monkey named “Lilly,” who lives in Vietnam, shows how much love this monkey has for her owner. It is as if she is a mother to a young child.
Ultimately
As tempting as it may be to own a baby macaque monkey, proper research and preparation is advised:
Ongoing Responsibility:
- Macaques regularly need your attention, time, and resources.
- Their care is complex, and their lifespan can reach several decades.
Moral and Legal Duty:
- Ensure that, at the first stage, owning a macaque will adhere to all legal terms.
- Remember the moral issues for keeping a wild animal as a pet.
World Population Review
Other types of engagement:
- If ownership appears difficult, consider donations to primate rescue facilities or volunteer activities that allow hands-on involvement without requiring permanent placement.
To sum up, some pet owners may find it rewarding on some level to have pet macaque monkeys, but they need to be mindful of the obligations and difficulties that come with it. Those willing to leap should know and be ready to tackle these issues for harmonious coexistence with their primate pet.
They are no different than having a little kid that normally behaves. Each pet monkey has its own personality. Anyone raise a pet monkey? Watch this short video. The owner of Lilly lives in Vietnam. This video will make your day. 😍

What are the types of monkeys to have for pets. Monkeys that are loyal, easy to train, affectionate, easy to housebreak, as little as possible, and a monkey who you can be your best friend. A pet monkey that can and will get along with people, especially little children. I saw many pet monkeys who are like human on youtube videos raised in Vietnam. I like to get a pet monkey for the United States.
