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.
