This
is Lizzy Ann. I don't know her age since she was rescued from a
breeding facility, however she has been with me for seven wonderful
years! She is a squirrel monkey from South America. She currently
resides in Tucson, AZ. Lizzy Ann has always been the one to make
newcomers feel at home and loved. Without her help some of our
friends may not have settled in so quickly and easily. She is gentle
and kind to humans and animals and is a star to me!
Lizzy Ann is a squirrel monkey. The females weigh approximately two
pounds when mature. Lizzy's favorite foods are meal worms,
grasshoppers and june bugs. She also loves artichoke leaves,
pomegranates, and red bell peppers! Since we have rescued several
other squirrel monkeys from undesirable situations, Lizzy is the one
to comfort the newcomers and show them the way around. Most monkeys
must be confined to a cage, however Lizzy Ann has free roam of the
house and she is such a good girl that she keeps herself and her
companions in the dining room where is cage is located. (Naturally
the cage door is never closed) Lizzy was abused before she came to
me, and had severe rickets. After four months on medication that she
took so very well she was much better. Half of her tail is missing
and she is quite afraid of people but she honors me with a precious
purr when I gentle rub her back. Her best friend is Abigail, another
squirrel that I would love to tell you all about later! Lizzy is not
noisy at all but of all the squirrel monkeys I have ever heard she
has the loudest call coming from such a little mouth!!
