Pet Monkey clay childhood and harness-vest combo. Cotton Top Tamarin Primate

Pet Monkey diapering MUST start at a matter of weeks of age. Wait until they are a few months old and good luck! Sure, your monkey is going to complain about it, maybe even scream to see if that will work in to it's advantage, but you must not give in! If you give in, your monkey will remember and work YOU every time. YOU must stay the alpha. What's my secret? I have their favorite blankey (or a piece of it if it's starting to fall apart) near, and I offer a tiny piece of an ultra-favorite treat --- Gerber Graduates Fruit Juice Treats, and talk calmly to them, tell them how good they are being (even if they are being a little naughty). Praise and a calm voice will get you, the owner, one heck of a lot farther than a stressed voice spewing words of how naughty the monkey is being. Now, this video, is about cloth diapers. I have tried every, or at least near every, cloth diaper available on the internet and have come to the conclusion they are gravely flawed in their design. Not only does the urine soak through the diaper quickly, but the leg opening design is erroneous for free movement of long-jumping highly active small monkeys like my Tamarins, especially the infant Tamarins (and Marmosets). This leg opening flaw causes not only the primate discomfort but the owner too when trying to accommodate their beloved pet in the best possible, least stressful, manner. Hence, many new monkey owners put off diapering until the monkey is a couple of months old, and then.... well ...
