An unusual guest appeared in our Center. A very young male of marmoset is now our guest. It is a species of small new world monkeys inhabiting South America. Its adventure is rather common. The growth of affluence of Polish society, freedom of goods transfer in the EU – these are the reasons for the increase of exotic animals appearance in Poland. Monkeys, snakes, iguanas are only some of many popular exotic animals in our country. It is often the thing that new caretakers are not able to ensure the appropriate care and time. Beautiful, often incredible in their relationships with humans, have sometimes their disadvantages. Bitten wires, destroyed furniture, spiteful bites, marking everything with urine…these are only some of the drawbacks connected with having a marmoset. In general, marmosets are great in keeping at home. The reason for an untypical spitefulness of Frank – because this is what we called him - lies probably in his experience from the past. His journey from hands to hands, lack of a concrete caretaker, insufficient amount of time and warmth which they need so much made Frank very mistrustful. It slowly gets adjusted to us and the environment. The monkey will be here for good. We care about Frank, we want Frank to settle here and not to worry about his place anymore. Frank will be taken care of very well here.
