Yes. The Available page lists both, and you can filter by breed or sex. Marmosets are currently priced from $900 and capuchins from $1,400.

It depends on your country, state and city. Some places ban primates as pets, while others require a permit or licensed enclosure. It is the buyer’s responsibility to confirm this before inquiring. Your state wildlife agency is the best place to start.

Marmosets often live 12–16 years in human care. Capuchins commonly live 30–40 years or more. Either one is a very long-term commitment.

Both species are highly social and do best with plenty of daily interaction. Talk to us about companionship and how much time you can realistically give.

Diets are species-specific. Marmosets need careful vitamin D3 and calcium alongside fruit and insects. Capuchins eat fruit, vegetables, insects and protein. See our Care & Requirements page and ask a primate veterinarian for a feeding plan.
