Marmosets are often used for research on human aging and disease because their bodies are very close to those of humans. Marmosets are sometimes kept as pets, but they are very difficult to care for. For example, they require a very specific diet and access to UV light to stay healthy.
Are marmosets aggressive?
The extremely hostile behaviour against adult strangers appears to be typical for many marmoset species [at least in captivity, EPPLE, 1975].
Can you keep a marmoset as a pet?
Marmosets are small South American monkeys that are often kept as exotic pets. While young marmosets are often affectionate and fun, these animals can become aggressive and unpredictable as they grow older. As a result, it is possible to own a pet marmoset legally in most areas, but it is not necessarily recommended.
