Since we have been
talking about commercial diets, Zupreem makes a canned diet which
they claim can be fed to old world and new world monkeys.
This is a separate diet from the marmoset diet which has a high
vitamin D content which would be harmful for large monkeys.
The nice things is, Jeffers will sell it by the can so you
wouldn't get stuck with a whole case of something is your monkey
doesn't like it. It can be used as a complement to a dry
diet. They do charge for S&H.
Do
it Yourself Tiny Diaper
By: Alicia Hammond
Here is the tiny
diaper instructions:
Things you will
need:
Material: I
found blue Jean the most sturdy
waist belt
hook and eyes
needle and thread
paper towel
NOTE: This pattern
is general and will have to made bigger or smaller to fit your
monkey. If possible, measure with a string from the back of
waist belt, between leg and tail to the front of the waist belt at
the stomach.
After getting the
size diaper you need to sew the straight edge of the cloth cut out
to the front center of the waist belt being careful not to sew the
adjustable band together. Sew an eye on each side of the
back of the waist belt measuring the distance needed for the width
of the tail of your monkey. Sew one hook on each strap of
the cloth cut out. Fold full sheet of paper towel the width
of the diaper holder and cut or tare to the length of the diaper.
Put waist belt with diaper sewn to it around the stomach
area, insert paper towel and pull straps up and hook to eyes on
the back of the belt. Your monkey will have two waist bands,
but this should not be a bother to your monkey. The nice
thing is it can be thrown in the washing machine to clean.
