Weaning Babies I - All babies come forth

The cast are here, Baty, Bossey Jr and lastly Dopey.

[@jonidegrazio1780]

Babies are weaned at about 8 to 12 weeks. They have a full mouth of teeth by then. They will do just fine. Some of the babies are lazy and don't want feed themselves. Their Mommas will always love them.

[@kkossor3046]

Bossy Jr gave quite a display. But the Moms seemed to give in when there were a lot of tourists talking in the background. Maybe a protective move? Excellent clip!

[@roseyannette2030]

I am laughing so hard that the tears are flowing. At 8:20 the word "pitiful" comes to mind, but in a funny way. It's funny because with our dog we call that look "doing pitiful". For example: ME to my son- "Oh no, Josta's (the dog's name) feelings are hurt, she's doing pitiful just because you told her to "go lay down". LOL I am sure all youngsters, no matter the species, are quite adept at doing pitiful. Human children are VERY good at pitiful, too. Right?

[@jennr1787]

These babies are so adorable. They remind me of human babies in the sense that everything they pick up goes right into their mouths lol

[@lolzfnafp9112]

They are just so adorable. How can anyone want to hurt them, is beyond me. I love your videos Arroz. You do an amazing job. Thank you so much.

[@MLeibs]

I don't comment so often, but I must tell you this. I am mesmerized by the monkeys of Hong Kong! Thanks to YOUR talent in videography and storytelling and the generous gifts of both your time and your craft, I am able to watch these monkeys' lives unfold in such a special way. Your videos are extraordinary... I'm mesmerized by them. I cannot thank you enough for sharing. You are a wonderfully kind person. 💚 from Mary (USA)

[@spaulk777]

I second that motion...you have given me a great deal of knowledge and uncountable laughs by allowing me to see what you see. I appreciate what you do! Thank you!

[@karenrael2898]

You said it well I feel the same way

[@annecorey607]

Mummies is very good to their babies they all very cute looking for foods nice to see them happy and health as well good video thank you very much Bless all of them ,

[@badmama5266]

Bossy Jr. has the exact same look on his face that Batty does! Weaning is the hardest part about growing up that these babies are facing right now!

[@devonabraham3588]

a tip: watch movies on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching loads of movies recently.

[@travismichael3705]

@Devon Abraham yea, I have been using Flixzone for years myself :D

[@tracebrentley8029]

@Devon Abraham definitely, I have been watching on Flixzone for since november myself :)

[@m.e.c.1007]

Yay! Excellent video. Thank you!

[@artphotography9158]

Arroz, your so amazing! Thank you for sharing these moments with us!! I just saw Reddy in a video yiubposted last December! She is the mother of the little girl monkey you were filming in "I'm old enough to explore"!!!! I was so excited!!!

Love your videos all of them. Keep them coming you do amazing job thanks

[@heatherhart7533]

5:44 that's not right Bossy!!! It's not fair you don't let bossy jr. suckle but you let your nipples poke him in the head!!!! Bossy Jr's face, so sad!!! 5:59 .....yep that's a temper tantrum to get his way.....its official Let the Weaning begin!!! lol!😂😂

[@denisegignac2714]

batty is just so cute.

[@abrazonnevylle2085]

It's good to push away from the table a little hungry.

[@cpmffeilberg4970]

Lol great prologue. To watch your videos of put up with a little nausea.😎🤗

[@ArrozMarisco360]

That's my very early work and I have no idea the limitations of this camera in its video-capability :)

[@cpmffeilberg4970]

@@ArrozMarisco360 lol I actually had no nausea at all. You have a steady hand,and a WONDERFUL talent. Keep em coming. You can never know how they touch our lives. 😎😎😎😎😁😁😁🤗

[@irenemariahernandez8179]

I simply love these cinnamon color babies 💗💖 as well as their park clean and calm manner.

[@sarahmarie1391]

I wonder what substantial food they eat in the forest there, when humans aren't supplying food.

[@heatherhart7533]

8:30 Bossy Jr. looks like he's just disgusted with the whole weaning b.s.!!!!

[@jesysgrl]

The leaf sticking out of Baty’s ear says it all. ( Though it was cute as hell ) Reddy would have had that cleaned out of Dopey’s shiny clean ear in no time flat. Poor Baty.

[@elikinder1506]

We need to understand that the nursing process is like being a drug addiction. The milk is a taste babies get no we’re else. They don’t understand nothing about nursing except they love it. It is what keep them alive as a new born. They felt safe with mom nursing. They were warm. The contentment they couldn’t get no where else. Love is a by product of nursing. A bond grows between baby and mom. The baby feels like their trust in mom is destroyed. All the things they felt towards mom has broken their heart. They have no idea how to fix it. So they become frustrated and angry. It’s their way of saying HELP. Because they feel mom don’t love them any more or feel important to mom any more. This is why I feel humans and monkeys wean to early. It should be a slower process because of mental stability. Most of all that milk is some good shit. Lol

[@abrazonnevylle2085]

Aww,lil' Jr. , And so many husks and shell pods to feast on !

[@munchkin1966]

They seem so young to be getting weaned

[@jeanledoux3793]

Love your show.

[@wandamcbridehollaway1319]

How old are these babies when mom's begin to wean? They seem to be so young!, I am continually impressed. with your dedication to these critters. It. must cost you a pretty penny in both time and money! Thank you so much. Do you accept contributions to help defray cost? How would one send you a donation? Keep up the good work!

[@lobowynnTV]

Baty had a major melt down 🤣😂😅

[@yvonnehopson5634]

glad to see the little ones growing up so nicely and with loved ones🐒🐵

[@badmama5266]

I think Reddy is doing two things, 1st trying to get Dopey to ride on her back more often which will effectively 2nd get him off her teat as much! Reddy is not trying to wean Dopey in the same way that Bossy and Dolly are doing with their babies.

[@AeonAxisProductions]

Ive noticed that the higher the class rank of a mom, the more violent they wean, because no one is gonna dare attack them or the babies, but if a lower rank mom does that and makes the baby cry too much the higher ones will attack the mom AND the baby, just for being annoying

[@williambuck8956]

aww he looks hungry hungry sucks poor baby

[@heatherhart7533]

Baty, What have you been sticking in your ear @ 6:32 ? lmbo!!! Maybe he put it there for a snack before bedtime?

[@christinechabotte9027]

Just using it as a pacifier while he sleeps !!!

[@sharronunger7053]

Sweet video.

[@munchkin1966]

Should rename Dopey to the sleep and suck cause that's all he seems to do lol

[@eughanbadli5269]

Actually, that's why he's named Dopey - when Arroz met him he always slept, and when he's not, he's a troublemaker :)

[@elikinder1506]

Bossy jr on a short fuse.

[@munchkin1966]

Looks like bossy jr is sulking at 5:00 lol

[@HappyQuailsLC]

Baby's baby looks apprehensive to me.

[@alliebagz4936]

poor baty!!! you can sew he is soo cold!!! his little prunes turned into tiny raisins!! poor thing...

I bet it is hard to try to hold your camera up. I arm's would be hurting to

[@rentechpad]

I notice that the mom's that wean their baby very early happen to have babies that are very aware of what's around them, like to be out and about with peers and is easily distracted from nursing. That would mean the nursing was not constant until the breast is empty and on many occasions the baby either drops the teat or holds ity but does not suckle while involved in tracking other dramas going on. I am sure that nursing a baby more interested it what is going on than nursing means that less hormones are produced and then milk making production drops off so baby may still be hungry when a breast is empty and has to turn to solids which they are doing well with by the time other babies are tortured with their own weaning. These babies either no longer care about milk anymore as the big outside world is too interesting and the baby wants to go play and the baby might no even get enough milk if this has been going for a few days to a week and has to go eat solids to feel full. Foraging and eating foods with friends it a lot of fun, while nursing hold you in one place. The ones that seem to be hit hardest at weaning time are the babies that were very serious about nurse right up until mom makes the decision that the baby is old enough to be weaned . This babies are the one you see with their faace buriued in moms chest while they suckle and the are very active in the nursing and empty the breast quickly and completely - this send mom's body the message that she is still feeding a very hungry baby and needs more milk produced. These guys save the looking around and seeing what is happening until after nursing thyme. The moms do have a slow down routine it seems where they make it harder and harder to catch her and no matter how hard they bed, not to touch it until she says okay - this is even pretty bad to baby who was used milk on demand and plenty of it. And then comes the complete weaning where they are not even allowed to start at moms teat let alone touch it or put it in their mouth (early weaning moms sometimes just let the teat rest in a baby's mouth if that keeps him happy as long as he does not suckle). Locking up the milk brings with a great many tantrums and drama that you don't see with the babies that were so interested in being free and exploring all she sees and sorta of has this "Milk, who cares, come see what I found" mentality

[@elikinder1506]

Mom doesn’t seem to be in a good mood either.

[@christinechabotte9027]

He can eat by himself he doesn't need breast milk !!!!

[@elikinder1506]

Upset or tired. May just not fill good.

[@TANGSOODO422]

DOPEY AND REDDY-MU FAVORITES--THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO❤️👍🏽

[@samasiaskipperable]

Looks like batys ear is really strange something is sticking out of it🍑

[@MLeibs]

Weird that these moms are weaning so early. Maybe it's because they are going hungry and cannot keep up their milk? Infants are rarely weaned this young!

[@candicesawyers4858]

It's actually very common for monkey moms to start weaning a little early.....it's not full weaning, it's just a little start to help them get ready for the real thing.......if you notice the babies still end up nursing a lot, and they typically end up getting to nurse anyway as it is very common the moms start a few mild lessons at around 2 - 3 months.....I have even seen them start when they are even younger, usually just a little lesson to let the babies know they can nurse ALL the time......a lot of the nursing they do when they get a little earlier is actually just used as a pacifier and not in fact true nursing......the mom starts to realize this and knows she's going to have a long road ahead therefore it's important to give a few early lessons.....it really is just that.....trying to get the babies a little more prepared for the real weaning.........

[@candicesawyers4858]

Can't nurse all the time, not can.....that's what I meant to say above......

[@kansas66701]

Poor Baty. I feel so bad for him. Doesnt seem to know what to eat. He bites a piece then spits it out. Don't they feed them occasionally at this place? Great video. Dopey is going to get it while he can & I don't blame him. He's only about a month old, isn't he? Baty is probably looking for something to eat. Doesn't seem as though Mum taught him what to eat, or to forage.

[@rallyboyd7151]

Great video. What age does weaning usually begin?

[@m.anthonyc.8761]

You need video stabilization bad....or use a Gimbal....won't be so shaky while filming

[@badmama5266]

How is Batty supposed to wean totally when Dolly doesn't want to sharer the corn cobb, BAtty has to pry it out of her hands, and then twice Dolly tries to take it back. Unfortunately Batty loose it in the end to another monkey. Probably his brother. You can see a monkey hand come in and take it right out of Battys hands!

[@annaargeanton8224]

Are these Japanese macaque? For whatever reason they are not like the weaning babies out of Cambodia. i’ve heard a couple of his videos were there are a babies who really tantrum but it says if these mothers just don’t put up with as much. They know they can’t do it so they do out a little bit Iol but it’s just part of it.

[@jamessimms415]

Do you think the earlier weaning is Nature's way of adjusting to the birth control practices? I'm of the unfortunate opinion that the earlier weaning will cause more baby deaths this upcoming Winter because of starvation. I'm afraid Dopey will not make it through this Winter. Is Nellie too old to bear children or was she fixed? @ 14:42, was that Baty's older brother & who was the other monkey? LOL @ 6:30 w/a leaf sticking out of Baty's left ear. @ 18:02, is it too late in the year to give birth & have the newborn survive the Winter? God Bless these sweet, precious miracles called babies & infants. Lord, look over & protect these innocent Angels & their Mom's.

[@pattiramirez6257]

Some of the things Baty is putting in his mouth, agh....Are you sure you want to eat that?

[@HappyQuailsLC]

There might be some found objects that could stand in for a tripod such as the top of a fense post or rail or if you can sit up high like on a big rock or a hillside level spot you can sit with your knees drawn up close so you can rest the camera and your hands on them.

[@memeknottymemeknotty]

I feel so sorry for the babies when weaning time comes. And i pray they make it learning to forage which i think should be taught before weaning.

[@Char-Williams]

I saw you mention the baby snatcher. Something I don't understand is why the moms don't fight for the baby back, instead of patiently following & waiting?

[@ArrozMarisco360]

Kidnapper is very rare with rhesus. I suspect the reason you are seeing them in my videos is because of our meddling - 70% of the female population have been sterilized and some might have been too eager with "aunting" that they do seem like to kidnap.

[@JaggedEdge1975]

Some of them I just don't see how they are getting any milk it looks as thought some of the moms don't have any milk to give I truly like these videos better then the others HK videos the ppl are so much better then the video ppl in Cambodia they don't bother the monkeys and try and control them

[@christianewieland8261]

What does this have to do with weaning?

[@candidacubano8063]

I SAID BEFORE THAT I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. I HAVE A QUESTION. WHY THETE IS A COLLAR ON A FEW OLDER MONKEYS? AND ALSO WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THE SPLIT EAR.

[@mathewjordan4196]

Did I miss something because I didn’t see any weaning 🤨

[@munchkin1966]

What is sticking out of the babys ear?

[@angelahannah9580]

Well at least you have name the poor things. If I was there I would feed them all of the time. Please tell people to give them some food. We give the poor food so why cant we give the monkeys food. They should put them on food stamps and let them go to the grocery store. J/K for all the haters. I absolutely love monkeys.. I love them. They are so smart❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🍝❤❤

[@irenegoforth7680]

What happened to bossys ears ..?😮 .

[@macnichol8531]

The video seems a bit jumpy

[@HappyQuailsLC]

I don't know whether this will be helpful but I think there are software based video stabilization programs which fix a lot of the movement.

[@tannaeros]

HappyQuails once I rigged a stabilizer from coins rolls and coat hangers to film dogs. Fine until a utility Scottie mistook it for a loop to leap through 😀

[@peggyfraley8059]

No milk on demand 😟😟😟🐵🐒🙊

[@Sissy1212]

Its a leaf

LOOKS LIKE WEANING FAILED THIS TIME

[@tmyrose7396]

he's to young to be wean,maybe her milk dried up or her breast are sore

[@samasiaskipperable]

If there's a way for you to put Batears next to another little one of same age I'd like to know how he compared🍑

[@user-jz4pj5xp9j]

Cull them

[@fayesodivine5044]

Most of these mother monkeys are too weak. They need to bite the shit out of these baby monkeys their to aggressive and need to be taught a lesson. They need to be taught how to get their own food on their own. Needs tough love mother monkeys

[@bonniemoore3461]

THEY NEED TO BITE THEM HARD UNTIL THEY GET THE MESSAGE THAT IT IS TIME FOR THEM TO STOP NURSING AND GO LOOK FOR FOOD . THE MOTHERS SHOULD ALSO PUNCH THEM IN THE THROAT !! THAT SHOULD STOP THEM !

[@Danceswithfishes]

No need to go overboard. These monkeys have been weaning their young forever. They know what they are doing.

[@fayesodivine5044]

This is naturals way bite the shit out of them
