When A Baby Monkey Looses Its Mother! Think Twice Before You Buy An Orphan Baby Monkey

I have shared this video to create some awareness as to were the so called "orphan baby monkeys" actually come from. If a female monkey dies, the other female monkeys of the troop take care of her baby. A baby monkey would never be left lying alone on the road or in a trench along side the road (like you see it in many videos). 

As long as there are other female monkeys around that baby would be taken care of. Female monkeys raise their babies together. 

Many orphan baby monkeys have become orphan monkeys because their mothers were killed by humans so they could be sold to people who desire a monkey as a pet. It is nearly impossible to snatch a tiny baby monkey from her mother. 

Whoever tries will end up with very serious injuries. The only way to get hold of a baby monkey is to kill the mother. 

You have to get them very young otherwise they will not accept their future owner as a substitute mother. Many baby monkeys die. 

If you think or have considered getting a baby monkey PLEASE THINK TWICE. 

The bond between a baby monkey and its mother is extremely special. The baby clings for 4 months constantly to its mother's belly. Lollipop's pain that you hear in this video is every baby monkey's pain that has been separated from its mother. 

It was heart breaking for us to watch and hear this. 

That specific sound she made in this video we have not heard again from her. 

It was a sound of mourning and fear. 

A day after her parents were shot baby monkey Lollipop came into our house through the open window. She had come inside the house many times with her mother, clinging onto her mother's belly. She was used to us but not enough to let us touch her or pick her up. 

She found refuge on our curtain rail and in the window.

Looking out into the valley below through the window she called and cried consistently for her mother. It took us several hours to get her down. I finally managed to lure her into a wicker basket with a mashed banana inside it. 

The backside of the basket I had covered with a towel. I slowly retreated into the corridor. She was very hungry and came down from the rail and climbed into the basket to eat. I managed to approach slowly and close the door. Piet had prepared our hot house for her because this was the only safe place for her at this moment. Lollipop cried incessantly for 3 days and nights.
