What capuchin monkeys eat?
I have 2 squirrel monkeys and my mother in law has 3 capuchins. They do require A LOT of work Visit www.PetMonkeyInfo.com for more detailed information on life with a pet monkey and their care. The need 24 hour companionship, specialized diets, and enrichment, in order to be happy.
In captivity, they require monkey chow specially made for New World Monkeys, and a variety of fruits and veggies. Mine eat soaked biscuits, carrots, peanuts, grapes, broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, apples...
In the wild they will eat insects such as crickets, lizard/bird eggs, varied fruits and nuts.
