New!

[monkeyluver]

Hello! My name is Rachel and I own several animals. I have a doggy who is a mutt we adopted. His name is Abel(we named all our animals with A names) and he is three. He is a fun dog who loves to look after his brothers and sisters. Who are they?

Two Capuchin Monkeys named Abigail and Aaron. Abigail is two and Aaron is one. They are the most friendly monkeys I have ever seen. They are Weeper Capuchins. Abel loves to take them for rides and his back.

An Iguana named Abbott. Mostly Abel is curious in him but Abbott is terrified of Abel. Abbott is about three.

A parrot named Abdul. Abdul loves to talk to Abel. Abdul is extremly friendly. He is six years old.

Five horses. Abir, Abnur, Acacia, Ada, Abraham. Abel loves to lay in the field with his buddies.

So that's all my creatures. I hope I get to know you and your doggies!

Hi Rachel, & welcome to Pettalk! Your animals sound Awesome!! Do you have pictures?? I would love to see pictures of your all of your pets. I hope you enjoy it here as much as we do. :D

Hey everyone!

To all those who want a monkey-I know all the state laws of owning a primate so if you want to know just ask! My state alows all primates. But before you consider research!

I do have pics and a scanner and I'll try to post them soon! Probelm is only Abel can sit still enough. The monkeys put their hands right in front! Little goof balls!

Well I have to give them their bottle soon. They get very fussy if I forget!

Are you allowed to have monkeys in Texas???

[monkeyluver]

Lemme check!

The Task Force is currently conducting a very extensive county-by-county survey of the State of Texas. Of 253 counties surveyed, 198 responses have been received by the surveyors, Linda Brent and Amy Kessel. 91.4% of the responding counties had no regulations regarding ownership of nonhuman primates. Only for 7 counties and 3 cities do the regulations specifically mention "monkeys", "apes", "primates", or "nonhuman primates." Appendix B3 provides several examples of responses. The state requires a permit for certain species of animals (apes being the only primates on that list) - unless one has a USDA license. There are known to be many pet primate owners in the State of Texas and there are a large number of baby monkeys sold at exotic auctions.

I want to see pictures soon!!! I love monkeys. I've always wanted a pet monkey, but I know they are so much responsibility that I don't think I'd ever get one. But when I was little I used to love watching the monkeys at the zoo, they are like cute hairy kids.

BTW I have two cats names Tibby and Corkscrew

Welcome to Pet Talk Monkeyluver! You will like it here the people are so nice and we love photos so if you can post some you will get more responses!:)

Your monkeys sound like a lot of fun, is the Capuchin breed the same as the monkey that Ross used to have on "Friends"?
I think you may be the first person here on Pet Talk that owns a monkey. I wonder if one has even been Pet of the Day ever?

I would love to hear more about your horses, what breed are they?

[aly]

Here's one that has been Pet of the Day:

Ya the Capuchin is the breed that Ross got! A black and white one! I have a weeper.

Well Monkeys aren't the most popular pet so I can't say I'm surprised.
