Questions About Primates?
Start with the questions people ask before exploring primate species, care requirements and the responsibilities involved.
What should I know before considering a primate?
Primates are intelligent, social animals with complex physical and behavioral needs. Before considering one, research the species carefully and make sure you understand its housing, nutrition, enrichment, social, veterinary and long-term care requirements.
What do primates need for proper housing?
Housing requirements vary by species and individual animal. Responsible care means providing a secure, appropriately sized environment that supports movement, rest, enrichment and species-appropriate behaviors.
Read the Care & Responsibility Guide →What do primates eat?
A primate's diet should be appropriate for its species, age and individual needs. Nutrition should not be treated as a generic pet diet. Consult an appropriately qualified exotic-animal veterinarian when developing an individual animal's care plan.
Explore Primate Care →Do primates need social interaction and enrichment?
Yes. Social interaction, enrichment and opportunities to express natural behaviors are important considerations in responsible primate care. The exact needs depend on the species and the individual animal.
Do I need a veterinarian who works with primates?
Veterinary planning should be part of responsible ownership. Because primates have specialized needs, prospective owners should identify an appropriately qualified exotic-animal veterinarian before making a long-term commitment.
Are primates legal to own everywhere?
No single rule applies everywhere. Laws, permits and ownership requirements can vary by country, state, county, city and species. Always verify the current requirements that apply to your location before considering a primate.
