Jungle Friends Primate Sanctuary

Monkey Food Guidelines

Monkeys are primates, just like you, and they like a lot of the same foods you do! If you would like to have a "food drive" and collect food to donate to the monkeys, here are some suggestions of common foods that would be good treats for the Jungle Friends monkeys.

Good choices:

Raw peanuts, pistachios in the shell and shelled cashews

Raw sunflower seeds (in or out of shell) and pumpkin seeds

Dried fruit and vegetables

Peanut butter and jelly

Canned goods: green beans, corn, yams, vegetarian mixed vegetables, fruit canned in water

Cereal - especially with fruit and nuts. No sugar frosting

Hot cereal (oatmeal, cream of wheat, grits, kashi, etc.)

What to avoid:

No candy
No suger-frosted cereals
No food containing chocolate
