This is why my law firm & I love that we donate to this foundation , this little guy and all the others make it well worth it!!

[@stephanieb7311]

He is so adorable. I think he will definitely thrive even though he can't be with his original family.

[@judysoderlund7680]

I kind of forgot how tiny the babies are since last baby season! It’s hard to understand how anyone could mistreat these small creatures or remove them from their mothers when they’re so small and dependent. Thank goodness they can get a new start with you! ❤

[@kimleblanc7198]

he has one of the best play faces i've seen yet!!!

[@debrabridges9043]

Bless you all..we need u to save them n I wish other countries would follow your helping them n saving them.. so many people are abusing the baby's on social media we can't stop it if we stop 1 3 more pop up. Its so sad.

[@renatezylla1421]

I am always impressed by how quickly the baby monkeys accept the feeding bottle... It is probably the will to survive that motivates them to drink the milk from the bottle, even though the loss of their mother must be strong and painful. .

[@av8tore71]

He sure is a handsome little man

[@beckydennis6591]

Oh my gosh, I am shocked at how comfortable he seems. So sweet

[@suzannewheeler4663]

Thanks

[@VervetMonkey]

[@lydiaapo9777]

Thank you so much for your efforts 👌 you're amazing team and do great work taking care of those beautiful primates in your care ❤🐒

[@ksealskimmer]

amazing. Just beautiful

[@erynporter9951]

Riccardo has a great little play face 😂😱😱! They are just so sweet at the age that they start to play, I wish they were able to play with their birth families and that all of the babies had not experienced the trauma of loosing their birth families, but I'm so thankful that they have a wonderful second family at the Foundation! Thank you again to all of the staff and carers for all of your hard work and dedication to these beautiful animals! Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, safe New Year!

[@mofolk8896]

Kunjhani Riccardo! What an adorable little playface! 💕

[@susanmiller6023]

Ricardo, you might be confused and scared now, but you just beat the odds and you have a new chance. You will meet lots of new friends and get a new mum and troop. You will never need to worry again because you are in expert, safe hands. Here's to your new life, just grow and have fun.

[@bitsabelle]

[@pattytorres7853]

So adorable 😍 💖 💕

[@karimelby25]

Wish I lives in South Africa, so I could come and work with you. You people must be angels on earth. I am really a huge fan of you people and look at every video you make. Thank you for being so kind to these small monkeybabies. 10:48

[@pepamariajose9811]

Creo que esto es lo que me esperaba, genial con ganas de ayudar, de verdad es muy emocionante ver algo así. Gracias

[@katsimmons1065]

They all so cute😍while little. I hope he catches on just as fast as Atlas did. And we need updates on Zach❣️

[@jamesbowers7531]

Terrific as always

[@saschaeden920]

Thank you very much for your great work with the little monkeys. What milk do you give the little ones to drink? I've heard that the monkeys can't tolerate all types of milk because of their digestive system.

[@francesheinig6420]

They are getting a monkey formula most likely. Most wild animals can't handle the lactose in cows milk. Now a days with all the baby animals being rescued there are different types of wild animals formulas for a lot of the animals. Some formulas can be used for a couple different animals but it depends on the fat content and vitamins and minerals etc... I hope this helped answer your question. If anyone knows I'm wrong please let me know. Please let me know what they are using bc I like knowing things like this. Thank you in advance for any help you can give. Have a great day.

a human infant soya formula for new borns

[@saschaeden920]

@@francesheinig6420 Thank you very much for your reply. It is very difficult to get clear answers. Unfortunately, opinions differ widely. Clear statements or studies are hardly available as there seem to be very few primate experts. I am interested in this topic because I have seen on various monkey channels that monkeys very often suffer from digestive problems. Of course, this is not only due to milk, but I think it plays a big role. If you know an address that deals with this topic, I would be pleased if you could send it to me. Have a good rest of the week.

[@maxine3587]

​@@saschaeden920 The vervet foundation are the experts, id say. They have been taking in babies for 30 years.

[@veidaqueen3899]

I'm so confused cus i think we've been calling it season 7 for quite a while now and the number of babies includes those from over 8 months ago. I'm so lost...

[@almondhastings]

Please stop blocking the video of the baby with advertisments for the cups and other stuff. We love to see the babies rescued and appreciate the videos but lately the ads cover too much.

[@maxine3587]

The ads earn the foundation a little bit of money, which makes a big difference if everyone lets them play. Try to let them run, and you'll be actively contributing to the foundation 😊

[@PamPreston78]

Why does his frontal area look blue?

[@VervetMonkey]

its there natural color

[@pepita7053]

Qu'est devenu Zach?

[@katsimmons1065]

Yeah, we need some updates, eh?

[@bosquegirl]

Have you ever had an Occupational therapist with developmental and sensory integration expertise come to volunteer?

[@katsimmons1065]

WoW, that might be different, but could work for the babies❤

[@bosquegirl]

If I was younger and had more money, I would love a chance to do it. However, I do think you could find a person, even close to home who might be interested. The nice thing is, OT’s are very good at cross training, so everyone there would gain knowledge in how to help the babies, especially ones with head injuries or orthopaedic injuries. As it is, I find it fascinating that Dave has an inate wisdom of the babies and their development. I think many OT’s could learn a lot from Dave.

[@-ki1ik9tr4x]

Что ж вы бутылочки с молоком держите горизонтально? Начинаете кормить детенышей, держа бутылочку под углом, а в конце обезьянки воздух глотают. Это очень заметно в машине.

[@elzbietapaczkowska2098]

❤❤❤

[@adriannegrillo8394]

I love these little ones! I don't care for macaques one bit but these know how to behave

[@janendres5369]
