He gets about the size of a baseball with a tail. A bite from an adult marmoset will definitely do some damage, but you can train them when they are little not to bite.

[@PaulsExoticCreatures]

It sounds like you've already done what you can. I like to target train my monkey and what I do is that I put the target on people's shoulders which gets him use to sitting on people. With target training, you won't have to pick him up and get bit anymore, in fact it will make him more loyal to you.

[@darkhappyland]

"when he bites you, you bite him back" Ohhhh Lord this is epic

[@PaulsExoticCreatures]

With Marmosets, that's not a problem. The only thing you have to worry about is bite training

[@crystaljohnson139]

What state do u live in are are license required. If so how do you go about that. Thanks

[@pinkpoizonx3186]

well seen a lot of the commenters dont have marmosets . If you dont train them right will attack your face.

[@pinkpoizonx3186]

Koopa Troopa Poopa nope they cant rip your face off lol they go for your eyes to try and hurt you . . i know i have one

[@nevaehwarnke3731]

Pink Poizonx Yea ur right

[@robertwright212]

That's any animal

[@matsosa]

Robert Wright no it’s not

[@HappyQuailsFarm]

Wow that is a big one, (the Marmoset). When you say two marshmallows, surely you mean mini sized ones, right not the regular sized? I have heard people say to flick them in the butt if they bite.

[@leannemccumber]

I guarantee you flicking any creature even one as intelligent as a monkey, won’t go over very well. It only teaches fear, mistrust and lessens the bond. Redirect to something of a positive nature.

[@PaulsExoticCreatures]

You just have to penalize him after he bites you, and there is a few ways to do that. You can flick him in his face which is the technique used by many, you can give them a little bite back which is one of the best ways, or you can pinch the hair on the back of his neck, pull back, and twist. Not to sound harsh, but you have to make sure that you hurt the monkey when you do that. It sounds cruel, but that's the way it needs to be approached.

[@christinadelarede2825]

I have a marmoset and they can’t eat beef,pork or chocolate....you can kill them that way. Not to much sugar because they can get diabetes.. chicken,turkey,fruits and veggies. The squeezable baby food is great. Your monkey should be properly train from day 1 and lots of love will keep your monkey friendly. This child should not own a monkey if he gonna treat it that way. They are wonderful additions to the right family. Watch poggiesanimalhouse videos... he teaches and sell monkeys. That’s who sold me my baby.

[@ArtMadeUnderground]

Can you use positive reinforcement to train them not to bite instead?

[@sbrnakiss]

That should be the only way you train pets or break them out of their bad habits. You can make your pet more aggressive by flicking/biting/pulling its hair or whatever moronic option this kid gave you. Primates are unpredictable there is no guarantee this will tame him down. They're exotics not domestics.

[@periclesjorge124]

Do you have to spend a lot of time with them

[@mamamiapizzeria8479]

perc jorge yes

[@christislord316]

Some people say that when they get to maturity, they get unpredictable and dangerous. Is that right, and how do I handle that?

[@catladybev]

Your little guy is so cute! I bought an adult male marmoset at an auction. He wasn't socialized AT ALL! I've had him for two months and he has really come a long way. He lets me pet him now and eats from my hand. However, he still freaks out if I attempt to pick him up and I have to wear leather gloves when bathing him. Those little teeth can hurt! Do you have any suggestions for taming an adult?

[@TheMONARCHMONKEY]

Hi do you still do videos ? ;)

[@JamesTaylor-os3lh]

where did you get them? i can only find 3 legit breeders.

[@jaimeemeehan8500]

James Taylor online

[@PaulsExoticCreatures]

Fight through it, hold him as much as you can and bite train him no matter what he does. If he doesn't tame down in about a month then he probably isn't going to. How old is he now?

[@nightshadowone2989]

Where do you bite them to get the message across asap...do not want to be biting all over baby marm to find the right spot😣

[@seanogle9901]

Bahaha when he said flick them in the face I bout fell out

[@crocosiom]

Hi! thnx for replying he has already become very tame, still needs a bit of bite training but he comes to you when you call him. When i get him out of his cage he gets a bit scared after a few secs you can touch hi nose without him biting. He is 10 weeks old, what is the best way to bite train him? Thnx

[@gabegonzalez175]

why would you bite or flick any animal in the face

[@Iluvnaomi]

He can crawl on glass?!

[@PaulsExoticCreatures]

I know, but that's only a temporary cage while I was moving. He's in a 10x5 cage now.

[@kimcarlile4046]

were did you get the cages?

[@Son_Of_Mort]

Can you tell me where you got that cage

[@kingreyes7917]

*Craigslist...*

[@RICHIE_RICH89]

Id love one im looking

[@SwallowPollo]

how big does he grow does it hurt when he bites

[@nosykimi]

he never runs away??? wow

[@crocosiom]

i just bought a very untamed baby male what should i do? i know i just watched ur vid but any really good tips?

[@suzannejohnstone7534]

Erm give it back! If you don’t know how to take care of this animal and give it the correct care then seriously do not have one!

[@maya.llynne]

do you need a licence to own them?

[@masonrogers846]

Maya Para Yes.

[@Cyove]

I love your Marmie! Hoping to one day adopt one myself. =}

[@tonikos3933]

The cage needs to be double that size even then he needs to roam around your house and if u want him to be a lil bit more tamed never shout at him or "punch"him and dont grab him let it come on your hand one more thing never let him out just like that he can escape real easy

[@kingreyes7917]

If I decide to get a marmoset definitely will have first a cage 10 to 21 times that one, that's the fun part, watching them jumping and playing all over...👍🌞🌲🐒🌿🐒🌳✌🌝

[@darriushamilton7416]

Why do you grab them by the tail?

[@masonrogers846]

Darrius Hamilton when you play or pet them.

[@darriushamilton7416]

Ok

[@tallengore]

You can give them a small pinch on the but to

[@averagegarage3685]

Where u get that cage from

[@tifaniijurak9288]

You can feed them grapes the only thing your not supposeto feed them are avaccado and chocolate.

[@katinabeverly1881]

Thank u for this video.

[@atownthabeast1]

If u dont have a marmoset dont comment ..cause u know nothing about one to u own one...they are tuff lil animals an can be mean an hard headed a flick work fine..unless u wanna keep getting bit lol

[@carolynsaenz7868]

Diamond Valentino no what if they need to ask a question

[@nevaehwarnke3731]

They can speak it's not like your going to kill us if we talk on here if we don't have a marmosat also u problem don't even have one

[@triping4141]

Diamond Valentino i have 3 loving marmosets

[@shannonbrown6299]

'You dont know nothing until you own one' also means you didn't have a clue before you got one, so how did you learn if you wasn't watching KZbin videos and doing research? You may 'have 3 now' but just remember at one point you was the same as these people commenting wanting to learn more😂😂😂 and if you 'own 3' and are saying 'a little flick is okay unless you want to keep getting bit' then I really feel sorry for your monkeys and you probs don't know as much as you think you do cos that isn't how you deal with it at all, so why dont you get down off your high horse and re educate yourself because it seems like you may need too for the sake of your monkeys

[@jscjrmom1075]

You sound like u don’t even like him??? Do u still have him?

[@antonythomas7376]

at 1:34 did it climb over *glass?!?!?* can they do that?!?!?

[@whaktracks9652]

it was a screen

[@user-ke9mn5tg2u]

Why don't you like him or her near your solders? And you should never use those methods to train them not to bite just saying.

[@akilbey00]

how do you potty train them???

[@suzannejohnstone7534]

It’s not a dog ffs.. potty train! Do not get one of these as a pet

[@THELADIESLOUNGE]

Do you have any babies ? for sale

[@cockatiels31]

What are the dimensions of thay cage

[@catalinavargas3332]

Is that what the breeder told you to do to flicker him on the face if he bites you did the breeder also told you to pull him up by the back of the neck to pinch him did the breeder also told you to bite them back I don't believe that theory anyhow I heard from Michael Posey he's one of the Breeders you're supposed to pinch him near the tail part so they know not to buy I wouldn't do those methods to you those are horrible advisors their brother but to each his own

[@jacksparkes363]

Why do u hold the base of the tail? Why not just buy a leash

[@ecomhicks]

You have to pick them up and hold them sometimes. Mother pick baby's up by the tail and the way he is holding them Is the best. A leash is best when you take them out especially in public such as a park. I think the best Training not to bite

[@ecomhicks]

Best training not to bite is pinch their but just hard enough to let them know. Do this any and every time they bite from the first time even as a baby. You have to be consistent even if they nibble at first

[@farmhouseontherock]

You should really look into their diet more. They aren’t suppose to eat all that stuff you mentioned

[@blakesorenson8766]

Let me guess... Hmmm? Flordia?

[@CallMeTwisty]

Are you mad!!!, you do not pull or twist the hair on their fucking ears under any circumstances nor do you bite them back. Their ears are extremely sensitive and can do serious damage

[@alexcarter2542]

Really wish you hadn't filmed this with a potato bud

[@PaulsExoticCreatures]

There's not much you can do. There too old to try to tame down. No matter what technique you try you're most likely going to get bit. I'd return them if you could and try to get a baby.

[@valeriemiller9873]

Did you say to flip him in the face?? What the hell is wrong with you? Bite him back? Never once have I don’t either of these and my boy does not bite like that

[@CollinAdams-kl6eh]

Got give em pinch on the but

[@SwallowPollo]

r u ever scared he will lose his loyalty to u

[@anna-mariejkristensen5624]

terrible advice
