Has vera ever gotten a mom ??? Lol lol lordy 🤣

That was so sweet how Paloma's family came along when she was scared. They all comforted her. She's an independent one. She didn't stay in the fold for long.

I am so glad to find your video's it is so refreshing to see monkey's treated so well, keep up the good work

Thank you so much!

When Paloma cried on the perch and multiple adult females come to comfort her is such a lovely look into the nature of this species. You don't see this in many other non human primates like macaque. I just love these guys.

That was incredible how many of the monkeys came (literally) running to her aid when Paloma was alone on the perch and started crying! Amazing! Thank you so so much for all that you and the entire crew there, all involved, are doing for these abandoned monkeys. An absolute blessing, the second chance y'all are giving these incredible creatures. Makes my heart so happy to see them truly cared for, in every sense of the word. 😍🙏 Keep it up!

OMG THAT WAS SO CUTE WHEN SHE PANICKED ON THE PERCH AND YOU COULD HER MAMA RUNNING THROUGH THE GRASS TO HER RESCUE!! I LIVE FOR THESE VIDEOS EACH WEEK AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU EXPAND YOUR CONTENT YOU HAVE THE TYPE OF ENERGY THAT'S PERFECT TO WORK WITH ANIMALS AND YOU CAN TELL YOUR PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT YOU DO!! I'M EXCITED FOR YOU AND I KNOW ALL OF US VIEWERS WILL BE THERE TO SUPPORT YOU ALONG YOUR JOURNEY!!!

The way the monkeys are fascinated with the cameras makes me laugh.

Freya was hilarious to me in this video! Just like a typical baby or toddler, she does everything to demonstrate the OPPOSITE of what you were trying to show her doing. Lol. She feigns sleep, puts her hand in her mouth, smacks the bottle down and hides behind her blanket all while you’re trying to show how well she can still eat with thrush. 😂 I love her little defiant personality. ☺️

Poor Bell, it is so sad she is permanently blind. I will be watching to see how she gets along. There is a lot going on in this episode. I love them all.

Y'all so good to these babies. God bless y'all ❤❤🐵🐵❤❤USA loves an kisses from Michigan

I’ve watched this episode so many times and seeing Acorn with Horst & Lil Vera cracks me up every time....especially when she sits on little Vera like you are mine now baby, now sit still and be subservient!! Lol poor Vera....no wonder she had a hard time matching with a Mom after ! Horst wanted a mom so bad he was willing to whatever...poor lil guy just wants a Mom! Acorn is one biggggg ol’ Girl!!

How precious they came to Paloma ❤️

Love this channel!! Your guys are amazing!! Thank you for taking care of these precious ones!! Omg I love this episode!! I had to watch Acorn with Vera 3 or 4 times!! I’ve laughed and laughed! Love it!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Horst was sooo patient and sweet to Vera!

Acorn : " I HAD TO STOP HER FROM SCREEAMINGG!" LoL

some part of me wants Acorn to succeed here and be a mom

I can hear Acorn singing, 🎶"And your gonna love meeeeeeee"!!!!🎶

My girl Vera is just not having any of this. She certainly is a little squiggler. She's an independent girl I can see that. No mom for her. Finding out Bell is blind broke my heart. What a little doll. Here Bell, take my heart please. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I am so happy for RED that his arm is okay now - he is so full of energy - I hope he will find a foster mom soon.

Thank you guys just seen this one poor vera hopefully she will pair with a patience mom

Awesome work you do. Thank you for helping these sweet beautiful creatures. ❤

And I guess Acorn just particularly wanted a girl baby maybe? Rather than the perfectly willing little boy she picked the screaming, terrified little girl?? Lol😉

Acorn was the chunkiest Vervet I've seen on here! And poor Vera, she wanted nothing to do with anyone but Horst and then Acorn sits on her!! I'd run from Acorn after that too, hahaha 🐒

In the Cambodia Temple few months ago a macaque was blind. Same neuro condition probably. She was killed. The blind ones will never make it in the wild. Their best hope is a sanctuary like yours

Bell looks like she has a condition called nystagmus, I have never seen it in animals, only in humans. My youngest grandson has it and is considered legally blind. I used to work at a school for the blind and saw this condition several times. My youngest brother, who had cerebral palsy, also had it. I hope that she does well with the troop that she gets included in. Bless you all for all you do. Thank you.

Well,we know Vera sure don't want the mommy that sits on her...."you too big~get off me."

For the babies with thrush wonder if they wouldn't like little milk ice cubes or frozen chunks of fruit to help alleviate the pain and still get nutrition? Not sure exactly how similar baby monkeys are to human ones but they sure are precious!

Fraya cracked me up I can't stop watching her get mad at that bottle and Leo is the most precious thing ever!!! 💔poor Vera!!!

Hi! I really enjoy watching them!

That thrush the monkeys get is so sad. I had never heard of that until I watched this series

I need to find the start here. Need to learn the names of the monkeys. Love them. ❤

That monkey mom want her, but baby is to scared, that mom trying so sweet but she even pin her down to try to say, I want you. Love this video

Accorn said, look ,I came in for a baby your going to shut up and be my baby.

The running commentary of Acorn and Vera is so hilarious! LOL!

oh poor little Vera. and she is the one that Alpha Mom wants to sit on.

Acorn was sitting on poor Vera telling her to TAP OUT!! 🤣

Vera !! Think of your status as daughter of an Aloha mom !!

trop mignons et je craque à chaque fois qu'ils roucoulent

Poor baby cant see that breaks my heart poor baby love you little one.❤😇🙏🏼🐒

Both the females wanted Vera. I think Acorn was actually testing Vera by touching her so many times. Vera would not submit to the touch, so Acorn tried to get her to calm down and submit by holding her to the ground. Other animals do this. Vera looked up for a clue and Acorn lip smacked to her. Vera is having none of it. But Acorn really wants her. It looks like Vera is too young yet. Good luck Vera!

One Guy Online yeah I agree. Often the moms get worried when a baby reacts so negatively to their advances most likely cause in the wild it would mean the baby still has a mom who will come by any time to fight off the invader. Something else that is interesting though is many monkeys smelled Vera and every time they did the did not like what they smelled. Unfortunately I don’t think it’s age related, usually the younger they are the more willing they are to accept. I think the real issue is that Vera was so young when she arrived and she was injured for the first two weeks and getting constant human care and so I think she’s more humanized than would generally be liked and it’s confusing for her, the strongest indicator of this is her incessant desire for blankets rather than a monkey mom.

Great video, thank you for sharing

That was kind of funny Acorn sits on baby Vera she had to find a way of pinning Vera down & she did lol

Aww 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Poor Veera!

I predict that Vera will like the Moms way better when Horst, spelling? is gone. She'll be forced to be brave for comfort maybe. Horst reminds me of the name of a German sausage or something.

Leo is so cute sleeping

I wish you could place them in order so we could keep up with their well being. Y'all do such a wonderful job! I wish I could live there and help. I would fall in love with them all!

love your videos and seeing how much you love and care for those beautiful amazing babies.

Awww paloma

I’m rewatching the old seasons because these little guys brighten my day! I will say though I wonder why when the babies have thrush and have a hard time eating why they don’t try feeding them through a syringe like they do when some babies first get there and are either to weak or injured to suckle from the bottle. I know they want them to get used to another way of feeding...I’m sure they have their reasons and obviously they are pros and know what they are doing but I was just curious.

You should try Gentian violet for the thrush. It works wonders and is fast acting.

Acorn wants the stubborn one.

Why are do many babies getting thrush? Are the bottle nipples not staying clean enough maybe? Maybe milk ginger bad from being out in the heat? I know it's soy but, it still can spoil.

@zeldaprince4320

Baby season usually makes thrush something more common thing to seeing in poor monkeys :( since theres a lot more monkeys around expect in an increase of exposure and contamination happens more so due to their instincts /natural anxious behavior,they always find themselves choosing or rather after for the usual... body contact and oral stimulation(eating and suckling) stressed out orphans especially FRESH orphans unto road to recovery (rather be malnutrition, wounds, or trauma of a heart💔/trauma) fight their psyche mainly from adjusting and that' usually why it's vital to distract them from depression .. w love n cuddles :)

As I watch these monkey mothers pass on Vera over and over I can't help but wonder if they can possibly smell a baby's parental line, and therefore smell some kind of birth rank perhaps?? The moms walk over to Vera, lift up her tail and smell her, and then walk away. Sometimes Vera approaches an adult and they very forcefully physically hit, scratch, and bite her to drive her away. It's as if they are saying: "LOWBORN! GET AWAY FROM ME YOU LOWBORN!" A similar situation happened with Dixie to a degree. She seemed to match up with adoptive mother Elsie at first, until Elsie changed her mind and decided Darcy was a better choice. Many factors went into Elsie's choice of Darcy over Dixie. Size, temperament, and other stuff all went into her choice I'm sure. It's possible Darcy's birth mother was simply higher born than Dixie's was, I guess. There is also the possibility that Vera and Dixie had some other kind of illness or wrong behavior working against them?

Acorn...Chief Babysitter.....uponer?

By no means do I mean to sound crude but, was Nala doing what I think she was doing when interested in the male? Oh Nala, he’s too old for you, find a nice young boy, get to know him, and in a couple of years, we can talk about settling down and having babies! 😉😁

Of course many different neurological condition present with some visual disability and odd or rapid eye movements like that, nystagmus its called. On thins about "blind" does not mean that some things cannot be seen such as lights and shown od extreme nearsightedness, narrow vision and so on. She is certainly showing nystagmus that would be associated with a neurological issue, But I am not sure she is "totally" blind which is what people outside the medical field think blindness means. I caught this is the first close up of her in the video, she was able to stop the eye movement for a couple of seconds twice while you were filming which means that something caught her visual attention, a shadow of someone moving about or something was moved that let more light in the room, anything like that and when she had some stimulus to focus on she could control her eye movements to do that. Not sure if that means she has really usable vision or not, but some individuals that can only see shadows and light will tell you it can be put to use. How much and if it will aid her in some what is difficult to tell, and often young born with only light/dark vision stop using it as babies as it gets then no reward and while they may grow up with still some vision because they never use ed as a baby it was not something they could adapt it to to be useful as an adult. I would consider trying to use 'shaws ' and see if she responds. especially if you call to her when feeding, let's say and then stand in a doorway with the backdrop of sun behind you so that she was seeing a shadow in the light and can associate it with food and get her to look at you and focus on the show in the light . Once you see her rem stop for a few seconds and she appears to focus on you give her the milk.

@VervetMonkey

Pam Duncan she for sure can see shadows and light, but she doesn’t react to visual cues such as presenting her bottle, but it’s fine cause she comes to find it when she wants it and what staff has been trying with her is ringing a bell by her bottle and while she’s drinking so she can associate that sound with the milk.

Horst was stress eating.

I don’t understand, Paloma didn’t bond with a specific Mom but went out with Luca and was still alone until she found her place. I thought the point was to bond with foster mom, then go out to the troop. Why was this one handled differently? Is it because she made friends with the Moms? She faired well and I’m sure you kept close eyes on her, and I’m definitely not judging...just curious, for my own knowledge, as to why. BTW, the crunching sounds of them eating in the background are adorable! I giggle every time I hear it! 💙

Poor Veara, I would scream to If Acorn was coming at me like that to. The crazy thing is Acorn wants Veara and she is screaming, the little boy is OK with Acorn but she don't seem all that interested in him. Acorns the one that kidnapped one of the babies from her brand new foster mother last year, if i remember i think it was one of mrs. Gold's babies? That was last year and she left the poor baby in a tree all by itself and Acorn just took off! I think it's was mrs. Gold who came and got her baby back and out of the tree. I dont know about Acorn though, she seems to really be trying with this little veara. Veara would have quite the life if she goes with Acorn, she will be spoiled for sure! I don't know tho, we will have to see! We got a cliff hanger here! Can't wait till next week!

I bet u Acorn was trying to figure out if Vera was sick or if something was wrong or what.

Bell's story would make great video for everyone to be able to buy...a book would be a great seller too...

I miss Kyle

Are you giving the babies any probiotic along with milk/formula? Human babies, especially preemies are very susceptible to thrush and some decent studies showed that premature infants not getting breast milk given a probiotic supplement had a 57% less chance of not getting thrush. Preemie infants that were able to get breast milk consistently had a marked reduction in the chance of getting thrush than did the ones getting formula/probiotics or just formula. It appears that breast milk likely creates an environment in the mouth and gut that prohibits the overgrowth of the normal body fungus that causes thrush and when looking at the numbers the idea that this could be do to a more normal growth of bacteria in the gut that keeps the fungus from over growing. Of course we already knew stress in any animal can damage the immune system and possibly cause the die off of natural bacteria or fungus allowing the other to overgrow and cause disease/illness. We started supplementing both formulas and whole milk given to orphans with small amounts of probiotic according to relative size - did not want to kill off the fungus completely as that would cause other problems when then the bacteria could over grow, just try to get a balance going. Until back in the wild where they were maintaining their own diets we also offer yogurt or other food that supply a good level of probiotics
