This is how all the rescues should be treated! Some rescue babies are so mistreated by mean people, they live a miserable life.

[@PrimateProductions]

At around 09:04 they are both being just too adorable for their own good! Cupcake is staring down at her own foot trying to decide if it is attached to her and then leans down and gets her big toe into her mouth and is sucking on it while Floki is looking around with a twig hanging from his mouth and is trying to catch a fly buzzing around him!! These 2 are just too sweet...even more so than the babies usually are!!🙂

[@PrimateProductions]

@Sienna Dark yes!

[@dorothydeese759]

Sweet Floki! So relieved his surgery is over and all went well. Praise God for all of you taking such great care of him. God bless you all ❤

[@sonjam314]

I just really want to thank you all for the wonderful care you give these beautiful!!!! You guys are one of the very BEST organizations that truly help these animals and interest as little as possible with them being wild animals. Cupcake is so beautiful and I am totally in love with her❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for videoing your wonderful work for us!!!! God’s Bless you all 🙏🏽✝️❤️🙏🏽✝️❤️🙏🏽✝️❤️

[@AmziAbelAsher]

Can’t wait to see Floki’s recovery and his new mobility!!! What a fun episode. Thank you VMF!!! ❤️

[@TheRealBaxterslideralus]

They are both little sweeties, the way cupcake gives support is awesome, thank you, everybody, for another insight into vervet life, God bless you all

[@angelakelley7546]

As always VMF does an amazing job caring for the orphans. It is wonderful to get to see the babies going through their developmental stages. I also enjoyed watching the staff learn how to make themselves a well earned food treat. Take care everyone and thank you for all that you do to help the monkeys.

[@rhondablackwood3238]

I love this and the people here are awesome I love y'all and thank u for giving your life to save these babies

[@petalpinkton8682]

I love the noises they make. Amazing beautiful sentient creatures.

[@kathieh7012]

Always love watching these awesome little monkeys. Precious little cupcake is so sweet to love on Floki. He's wonderful with her too! Praying for Floki's speedy recovery from his surgery! You all at VMF are amazing!! Love and thanks to all!!

Cupcake is so adorable

[@lindafromcalifornia1155]

Dave what you continue to do to help these Vervets is amazing. You have truly dedicated your life and committed it to the aid of one of God's creatures. Thank you.

[@chriswinslow5260]

I didn't think I would like this channel after Kyle left. But I have found it stands on it's own merit with Dave and everyone else narrating. I especially enjoy Dave and his daughter's insight into the Vervet's behavior. I never realized that most every movement or action has some sort of meaning behind it and I now watch all animal behavior differently. Keep up the good work.

[@koisneurotypical]

Dave- I could listen to your narration all day. You have an amazing team at the Foundation- thank you for sharing more of Floki’s journey with us (cupcake too). And thank you for the veganism clip! You talk the talk and walk the walk. Sending you all much love and prayers and hope you’re still managing under the travel restrictions 🙏🏽🐒💜

That Cupcake hit the jackpot! She's sooooo happy....and confident...great job to you all!

Gimli and Luna have competition with these two little sweet souls haha people have already said it but thank you guys for all that you do for these beautiful monkeys. Dave you explain things so well and all the videos are really informative, thank you for that. Another half hour of full on emotions watching this, you guys are amazing.

Ty for sharing these monkeys with us i got sick ofwatching monkeys being abused by the VOs

[@timmied8461]

Floki is a real trooper, it won't be long before he's playing and jumping around with Cupcake in Disneyland! 💗 Those spring rolls looked Really Good, I have to make them soon! 🤤

[@gailhowes9398]

Cupcake must be only a couple of weeks Old? She is still wobbly with her legs🥰 This my first time watching. What is wrong with Floki’s legs?

[@VervetMonkey]

Floki was involved in an accident and then tied up by the legs

[@susancaballeroaloui4756]

Love to watch them. Thank you for sharing. Hope all goes well at the vet for Flocki.

I have seen many adorable monkeys here but this Cupcake OMG@@

it is great to see little Cupcake giving support to Floki,

[@jeanculbertson3677]

I'm happy Floki has his little Cupcake to comfort him! Cupcake looks very content to have him back as well. The blue tint in little Cupcake is so pretty... is this normal for all the young monkeys?

yes

[@kimberlygarrish205]

At 3:57 into the video, the baby makes a cute little sound. I have never heard that sound before. Is she talking to the other monkey? Or, is it just a sound of happiness? I would love to know more about the sounds they make and what they are for.

[@VervetMonkey]

its a sound of happiness

[@kimberlygarrish205]

@@VervetMonkey Thank you for that information. This is the only monkey channel I have ever heard them do this on.

I thought so as well.

[@PrimateProductions]

You say they removed his femoral head...could you please give a little more general explanation...doesn't have to be too much detail but I don't understand... did they replace it with something? Isn't it necessary to have to facilitate movement of his leg?

I hope Floki can be with Cupcake after his operation. They have a special bond that they both need.

[@tammiewasson9902]

Volunteers are not allowed to eat meat even off property??

[@VervetMonkey]

Off the property they can but most dont want to - hard to look after an animal and then go to town and eat it

[@cathrinewhite7629]

Removal of the femoral head...did the vet have to replace it, like an artificial hip joint?

[@lerigby2473]

It will create a false head....on its own...we use to do it on hip dysplasia for dogs...or if they had been hit by a car...hope this helps u
