Hello everyone!
My name is Michael Poggi.
Welcome to Poggi's Animal House.
I have here with me a real common baby marmoset.
This baby marmoset is about 8 weeks old.
Now many of you have inquired about getting
a common mormaset as a pet.
I wanna caution you and be careful of scams.
There's many scams out there of people who
will either put up a website or try to sell
you a monkey for eight hundred dollars or
a thousand dollars or fifteen hundred dollars
and when you send the money, then you never
get a monkey.
It's because that, people are getting scammed
everyday from the same problem.
So in other words, be very careful that when
you're buying a monkey, that you're getting
it from a reputable breeder.
Someone that has experience, and has a real
facility and can prove it.
They should be USDA licensed, they should
have their permits in place, inspected, and
have healthy animals.
So be very careful that you don't look for
a monkey that says for adoption.
There's no such thing as a monkey for adoption.
Monkeys are expensive, they are not cheap.
They are not eight hundred dollars, they are
not a thousand dollars.
They are more expensive than that and they
definitely, definitely, definitely should
be from a reputable breeder.
If you're trying to save money, you could
get ripped off.
Be very careful and get it from a reputable
breeder.
You'll definitely, definitely be happy by
purchasing a monkey from someone who could
prove that they have a facility and they have
experience like we do.
Thank you very much and if you have any more
questions go to our website poggisanimalhouse.com.
Thank you.
Also another good point is that, if you are
not able to go to the person's facility and
pick one up and pay for it in cash, then there's
a good chance it could be a scam.
So that should be something where, if you
offer to do that and they say "No we don't,
we don't have a facility we'll just ship it
to you."
then be very careful.
So you wanna be able to ask them, "Can I come
to your facility and actually purchase a monkey
and pay for it in person, at your facility?"
If they say "yes" then that would be something
you may want to look into.
But when they say "no" then most likely its
a scam.
So be very careful about scams, cause these
little guys are being used as scams and it's
not a good thing.
Thank you very much.
