Capuchins vs Squirrel Monkeys

Home More advice Pets & Animals

Hey I'm planning to get a baby monkey in the next year or two but I was wondering which species is better to have as a pet? I want a little buddy that can hang out with me and isn't too solitary but I also want one that is smart and will listen once I tame it. Oh and what are yalls thoughts on male or females? Do thay act different and which ones easier to handle? I also go to school from 8:15 am to about 3:45 and I know you can't of course leave them alone as a baby but when they are an adult is that ok?

-Oh and people who are going to criticize the idea of having a monkey buddy are not welcome>:( but informing critisizm disregarding the fact of not having one at all is ok :)

Thank you to everyone who will help :)

P.S.-I have done tons of research and tons isn't an exaggeration!
