Pet Marmosets

Check with your local authorities regarding the legality of exotic pets like marmosets.

Owning a pet marmoset is legal in most jurisdictions but not all.

Think long and hard before buying a pet marmoset since they can be difficult to maintain.

Marmosets have very specific dietary needs and may die without proper care.

Marmosets require more space than you might think in order to grow and live naturally.

Marmosets cost a lot of money compared to more common pets.

The cheapest you will probably be able to find a healthy marmoset is $1,500, while more exotic or rare variations can go upwards of $7,500.

There are several websites that have marmosets for sale, but you really need to investigate thoroughly before ordering a pet marmoset online.
