Thank you for sharing ❤

Thank You for todays video with geriatric little friends. They are so verry well nursed and looked after. The very best from both food and the meds they need and vet checks too. I am so happy to see the fantastic work VMF are doing for the Vervets who need it. Thank You! ❤🧡❤

[@yvonneconte3040]

The elders enjoy their respite time with special treatment I'm sure. Thanks for caring and sharing 😊

[@Bethsabee_Sheba_Newrose]

How sweet and touching 🥹

[@jenniferkelley3777]

Thank you. It's nice to see the older ones too. Wonderful care no matter their age❤❤❤

[@judysoderlund7680]

You are so patient and work so hard at meeting these senior citizens needs! I’m a nurse and it reminds me of caring for older patients! Great job everyone! I’m sure the monkeys know how much you care! ❤

[@raquelmatos6387]

This is the part where we can see real love and care for this animals,the patience you guys have it’s amazing thank you very much 🫶🏻

[@valerienelson3296]

I am sorry they aren't feeling well but I do love seeing the special treatment. Everyone need extra love sometimes.❤

[@idbalendo]

Hacéis un gran trabajo, pero esta parte de los monos geriátricos es enternecedora y magnífica. Gracias doblemente❤❤❤❤❤

[@saraanderson6615]

Great to see how well you guys take care of the older monkeys. 🙂 ❤

[@susanmiller6023]

This was awesome, I've asked for this for a few weeks now before the onslaught of baby season. Thank you.

[@michaellynch9553]

A welcome Video after a day at the office! 🤗👍🙏

[@renatezylla1421]

Your care for the monkeys is so varied - through this video I learn what you have to take into account when caring for the older monkeys...

[@elainelewis6724]

What a great setup you have to care for ailing monkeys on site! They seem relaxed and trusting under your watch, except for the funny tasting meds part 😆. Thank you for sharing the senior monkeys with us. I'm happy to know they live out all their years in good care and safety. ❤

[@anitasorensen9058]

It's nice to see the older monkeys, especially seeing them still interact and groom after a "hospital/ rehabilitation" stay.

[@julieprior3126]

Great video. Very interesting. It shows how vigilant you are that you picked up on Kesey not eating after only one day. Great observations there! I love the baby videos but it really is good to see the grown up velvets too.

[@janendres5369]

Thanks

[@VervetMonkey]

Thank you

[@theopinionisthighqualityopinio]

I didn't know how I was going to feel about this video, but... I absolutely LOVED IT!!! Maybe it's because I'm in my mid 60s and can relate more to the geriatric monkeys. 😂 Everything about the video was interesting. How they eat, what they eat, what illnesses they have, how they feel about sickbay and the medicine, etc. etc. While I was watching this, I started remembering the viewers who would watch the YT Short videos, when you first started posting them, and the people who would say things about "mistreating the vervets." I'd really love for those people to see this video and then try to say those things again afterwards!! The care and love you guys show all the monkeys and especially the older ones, really shows what great people you are. I really did enjoy this, so thanks very much!! (Sorry for the long comment!)

[@maxine3587]

Absolutely agree, 😊

[@maxine3587]

I can't WAIT for baby season!! I love all thier stages, but... babies... yipeee!!!!!

[@denisekoenig9479]

Same here

[@maybarnard1088]

I can totally relate to the elderly monkey problems and it's wonderful to see the care and attention they get. At 75 I seem to have many of the same problems they do, but not the same attention 😊. I keep forgetting the value of ginger tea.

[@sandrawilliams8335]

Percy is so sweet 🥹 she is eating 🍽 very well. And Chippy is eating good 😌. I am so glad she is doing well to. Keisie I hope he will get better soon ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹.

[@donnachappell3674]

How is little Gimli🎉 doing?I haven't heard about him in a lo g while.❤

[@melissatapley4527]

I know you need to see them take the meds, but since they are so smart, would it be easier to put the med treats with the food plates so they don't think you are trying to give them meds? That's how I do meds with my dogs otherwise they won't take the meds, no matter how hard I try to hide it. Just a thought. Chippy back out with her family that's wonderful.❤

[@vshewett4333]

I've heard you mention ginger tea. What is ginger tea good for?

[@maybarnard1088]

Ginger tea is good for everything and not just monkeys. For us it's great for digestion and colds/flu etc add a bit of honey for coughs. The monkeys instinctively know what is best for them and they love the ginger tea.

[@anitasorensen9058]

You need to search medicinal uses for ginger. They are many. Some have been scientifically studied. Tea, properly steaped, is an easy way for the body to utilize the medicinal properties.

[@dianacampbell318]

Love the monkeys loove yous,but i ordered a cup and tee shirt have not recieved them

[@VervetMonkey]

hopefully they arrive shortly, it through Teespring, so we dont have much control

[@brendajohnson2300]

This was such a good video. I am curious if she is 27 years old ,how old would that be in Human years or is it same? Thank you. Love you all and remarkable job you do❤❤

[@yvonneconte3040]

Around 98

[@anitasorensen9058]

Keep in mind that 30 years is the outer limit of a monkey's life span. It's like a person living to be 100. They could live to be older but it is unlikely.

[@denisekoenig9479]

I am hearing a baby calling out somewhere in the background
