like all pigmies they have to be handled with care, especially when handling their marmosets, which can be quite painful for the pygmy.

The best way to get the marmoset off the pygmy is to distract it with something shiny and tug them off while they look another way. But don't get them wet and you will hopefully have many years of use from them. Most people put them around their neck to ward off evil spirits.

Pygmy marmosets are the world's smallest monkeys, native to South America. They are known for their small size, typically weighing less than 4 ounces and measuring about 5 inches long, excluding the tail. Pygmy marmosets are arboreal and highly social animals, usually found in groups consisting of a breeding pair and their offspring.
