Marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) are New World monkeys. They had their beginnings in the tropical forest that stretches along Brazil's northeastern coast. Marmosets are very little monkeys that have rather lengthy tails for their size. Both males and females are around the same size, with men being somewhat bigger than women. They have a body length of around 7 inches and weigh between 10 and 16 ounces. The marmoset's coat is multicolored, with patches of brown, gray, and yellow fur interspersed throughout. The tufts on the ears of common marmosets are white, whereas the tufts on the ears of penicillata marmosets are black, and Geoffrey marmosets have primarily white fur around their cheeks. A marmoset's face features a white blaze on the forehead and a black stripe that runs across the region of the nose. Infants' coats are characterized by the absence of ear tufts and the presence of gray fur over the head and the neck. The majority of marmosets' fingers are equipped with nails that resemble claws. The nails of their big toes are the only ones that are flat. They are able to hang upside down from trees and make vertical leaps between them, in addition to running over the branches. It's well knowledge that marmosets eat gum for food. In order to get to the gum, they bite holes in the trees using their pointed teeth.

This will give them something to do. ***Important Tips: After the bottle of oily vitamin D3 has been opened, it should be kept in the refrigerator.
