Foster monkey moms eager for cheeky baby orphan monkeys

[@julieheudebourck]

Fabulous to see these monkeys being able to intergrate back into the wild with their own kind. A new and full life for them. You all do such great work for these animals.

[@ickiedeer-lamb7282]

@Dave I always enjoy each episode, and can't wait for the next week the following Thursday. I enjoyed you introducing the behind the scenes team. Keep up the great work.

[@jennifer294]

Yes Dave always does a wonderful job❤

Glad you enjoyed it

[@adriannegrillo8394]

I love seeing the arms and legs wrapped around the mums! Those little hands and "feet" clinging is so wonderful to see!!

[@ms.newyawkeri7559]

Loved this episode. When Daisy entered and the babies ran into her arms, my heart melted. That was the cutest thing ever. The 3 little rascals trying to take the food was so funny. Very brave of them. Thank you for introducing the members behind the scenes. They are an Important part of the foundation. Thank you everyone for all that you do. God bless you.

What I like about this channel, we get to see the troop truly acting normal and in their natural habitat. I also like how their integration program for the orphans is handled.

[@carolynmcpherson2667]

You are part of a very large group of, well, groupies. We have renamed Thursday: now it's VervetDay. Much more accurate--not such a nod to the god Thor--and saves from the confusion of having two days in English that begin with a "T".

[@koisneurotypical]

30:38 is the most beautiful moment ever- when a Foster Mum lipsmacks when she gets that first hug from her baby. I love it. Again, I'm just so in awe over what you guys do at the Foundation. I know it's a lot of work, but the fact that is works, is just a testament to everything you do. You all are simply amazing. I wonder if you're gonna split up those three babies, as they cling to each other a bit too much? I don't know- admittedly I'm not finished watching the episode, but felt compelled to comment over the Mum's "ahhhh, my baby" moment.

[@ickiedeer-lamb7282]

I've when the foster mom knew which baby she wabmntrd and made a b-line straight for the baby and the feeling was mutual. Only at vmf.

[@carolynmcpherson2667]

Just as you describe it: the "ahhhh, my baby" moment." Perfect.

Around the 30:00 mark, it’s amazing how the foster mom is lip smacking with the baby, and even how mesmerized the little baby is with her. I know the other two wish to have that bond with a mom and fingers crossed as I keep watching that will follow.

From 14 minutes on when Dave does commentary the video. The professional manner and with his knowledge is astounding. Wish more people had this experience and compassion!

[@julieprior3126]

27:47 I missed the name of this adult female, but what a lovely scene at this point. It was very moving to see how all the babies wanted to be near her immediately and one in particular stretched his neck up to go nose to nose with her straight away, followed by hug! That Mum has the makings of another Mrs Gold. Delightful.

[@dorothydeese759]

I enjoy going back and watching over the videos again. This is one of my favorites because the babies are not scared of the foster mom. I lke Daisy the most and I think the babies fill most comfortable with her ❤

What a pleasure, Dave, to hear you narrating and laughing at the antics of these little ones.

how much would it cost to get a truck load of fruit or vegetables on average and how would one go about getting that delivered to the foundation...

It is around R1500 per load $105 by far the easiest is to go to paypal.me/vervetforest as we would need to collect it, we try support emerging farmers where we can and they dont really have vehicles

[@lyric8006]

@@VervetMonkey That would make the perfect request for funding. You could phrase it like, “Buy a truckload of fruit and veggies for the vervets for $105 which will feed all the troops on our property for one day”. This would give folks a goal amount of $$ to donate to VMF.

Hey Dave, it seems you have a surplus of volunteers now. Congratulations, I know it must have been very difficult for you and your permanent cadre during the lockdown. If you start running low on provisions to feed the volunteers I have a few suggestions. Go to your local McDonalds and buy 12 single patty hamburgers. Cut them into quarters and put them on one of those big round pans. Throw the pan into the middle of the volunteer enclosure and run. You could also create Volunteer competitions based on the Hunger Games. Losers would not be killed because that would be cruel. Losers would agree to a one week fasting which will act as a great lower intestinal cleansing. They would be provided all the water they can drink and be allowed to eat any food rejected by the troops.
