Baby Rosie, a tufted capuchin, arrived at Jungle Friends November 30, 2003 when she was eight-years-old. Baby Rosie is from a small town in Nevada and, as is the case with pet monkeys, her owners were no longer able to care for her. Upon arrival, Rosie was flirting with the staff and ready for an adventure. She has also been diagnosed with diabetes and has been introduced to several other diabetic monkeys here at Jungle Friends and is doing just great. Diabetes is running rampant with pet monkeys; however, we have been successful in keeping Baby's glucose levels down. Her disease is being controlled by diet, herbs and other substances that will help to lower her blood sugar, rather than insulin injections, as is the case for other diabetic monkeys. Baby made fast friends with a large male capuchin in her group and they have grooming sessions each day and in the evening they can be found sleeping side by side.
