I absolutely love the velvet monkey videos and I envy everyone that's there with them I thank you all so much I'd love to be a volunteer but I have no money to get there but u all are doing a great job I love yall for your love and dedication to them..
The same for me also,no money to get there
I wish so badly that I could fly there and volunteer for you guys, doing whatever you need done.... but sadly & VERY unfortunately I CANNOT. BUT, I'll ABSOLUTELY still help by donating to your beautiful cause. Bless you ALL for the amazingly selfless care and love you give to EACH and EVERY one of the animals.... you're TRULY miracle workers and if they didn't have you, I'm convinced they wouldn't even have a chance.

Poor Stick has been through so much! It will be really neat to see him finally well enough to meet a mom. Hopefully that will be someday soon...
Agreed and it will be! :)
@@VervetMonkey It's amazing the care you give to these baby primates.
These precious babies are so cute and tiny. Thanks for all you and the others do for them. I would have a hard time with wanting to hold and cuddle them.God bless each of you for your kindness and support for the babies.And prayers for these monkey's.
So cute babies being cared for nice people looking after these primates a nice place to live in.other primates aren't so lucky living in a nice zoo .
Thanks again for the update. It is much appreciated!
You're going to make it through all of this Stick, you're a trooper and have wonderful people helping and watching over you to make you better.And all of you babies are doing great.😊😊😊
THANK YOU for SHARING , I love Primates, especially Vervet Monks, they are absolutely beautiful to me, the'yre cheeky, funny, fun, sweet and also naughty , I truly enjoy seeing your updates or the monkey ramblings, Thank you folks for your years of commitment to saving and helping Vervets
VMF - I want to say that I love Kyle's narrating the videos !! Awesome !! Shemesh & Nora are adorable !! Awww Buffy is a good foster mom & Jerry is so lucky!! Poor baby Stick & I think he's a trooper !! Good to see Dylan with Eva...Oh my, poor baby Butterbean !! So sad☹️Welcome to Janet...Oh, I remember the Rocky Horror show & that song Dammit Janet LOL Stick-in-the-mud !! Too funny!! Wonderful that Hannah calmed down !! Thank you for sharing this lovely video with us!! 💞Vivi💞
:)
How can you not root for a baby with a name like Butter Bean :D They all go through so many changes in their young lives. It must be difficult and confusing trying to adjust, but I'm so glad most of the little ones do just fine. And, we come to this channel to check out the babies, but it touches my heart too how the Foster Mom's needs are being met too in taking the young ones under their wings. (Haha, I am fully aware that it is "my" needs being met by watching these videos ;) Thanks, bunches!
lbird lol well I’m glad you’re enjoying it no matter who’s needs are being satisfied! 😋
Hannah Smith You’re right! He’s an incredible little monkey. What’s funny is that anyone can name the monkeys as long as they are on the list and they donate to name. So we didn’t name stick, but the irony is that Stick was attacked by a dog and the person who named him named him after her friends dog who’s name was stick, cause he liked chasing sticks so much. Lol a strange full circle situation.
lbird Same here...it is comforting and reassuring like someone gets a do over maybe not what we asked for but what we needed kind of a happily ever after...its so cool to see such sweet unselfish nurturing group of people. I wish we could see a video of what a day in the life of an employee at this foundation looks like..incredibly busy without question.
Absolutely Tamara Kennedy. I hear and agree with what you are saying. Btw: I asked that same question to Kyle recently. He said he does plan on doing more videos about the employees, etc., but until then there are some older videos about volunteering at the VMF. They truly are such an amazing group of people. I love these videos that Kyle produces. Blessings, have a great day!
You are truly blessed. Thank you for the wonderful work you all do. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
Thanks Fiona.
Its beyond adorable watching the babies cling for dear life to each other!!! Hilarious watching them trying to move around with the body weight of another infant plus their own!! LOVE YOU ALL!! donation coming on the 1st of June from me!!! I cant afford much but will give as much as I can! I know every lil bit helps!!
Love this Foundation
Stick was still feeling the ketamine when he got back to enclosure.haha.
Stick is your brave boy.. what a trooper and what greats vets!
Precious Butter Bean you're going to be all good again and have a new beginning of life when you get better little buddy😊😊😊
Can't wait!
Poor Stick, it looks like he's wearing half pants, I hope he's better soon. Thanks for the great job you all are doing.
emutak1218 hahahha totally half pants. But half pants only a doctor can remove.

I wish where other monkeys i watch had help like this mskes me cry thst they cnt get this kind of love
Another channels showing how many of these precious creatures need help, animals in general always suffering most of the consequences of human behavior destroying their habitat and limiting their ability to feed themselves and their families. Thank you to these guys for all the help and love they give to these little orphan monkeys!
Its It's amazing how human looking the babies are
That Stick in the Mud! Hahahaa... That's so wrong! 😂 I just love watching your show! Is always something wonderful! 😍
Tory I loved your quote "Dam it Janet" from the movie Rocky Horror Picture Show! LOL, That will be running in my head all night. Also your quip about look at that Stick in the mud. Ha Ha Ha What a wonderful witty sense of humor you have. You guys do a great job with these babies. Looks like its very fulfilling! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to you all! PS Kyle I agree with Glenda T. You need to eat some Chocolate or more food. You looked so small with the lead weights on.
I'm singing it non stop now 😂
Lori Launius, Fiona Me - Hiya Lori !! Nice to see you here too!! 😊Me too, love their humor Dammit Janet & Stick-in-the-mud!! LOL...I remember very well seeing the Rocky Horror Picture Show in the movies & what a blast we had in the movie theater !! Great memories indeed !! 💞Vivi💞
It’s amazing how many foster moms there r
Kyle, you make my day!!! I would love to volunteer but I’m not well. I’m thinking of a way to fundraise for your cause! Hopefully I can come up with an idea. Great job to all the hard working volunteers in giving our little guys a second chance in life❣️🇨🇦
O, THEM MONKEYS ARE SO DERN CUTE. PRAY THEY HAVE COMPASSIONATE, CARING, PEOPLE THAT LOOK AFTER THE SWEET BABIES💞👍
absolutely love these videos...4th time watching
I love these people for taking care of babies
They are so adorable cute little face baby
In just 2cweeks you've been very busy sanctuary for these babies congrats you on way to being successful not only as a volunteer but also as a vet
Poor baby Butter Bean very injured, hoope getting well fast!! Enjoyed the video, and I would like to sitting there and playing with them! 😍😍
I think it’s a wonderful thing your doing for these babies and adults!!!!!!
Thanks!
I love it just wish the episodes wouldn't end
As usual, excellent footage! Thanks VMF.
tominator ✌️
Awesome video as always! Simply adore all the babies xxx
Thanks Lynne :)
The little one sucking his fingers is what human babies do; They are so inquisitive and loving.
I just love the work that you all do. You make me so happy xx💕💕
They think they are on top of the world and living their best live and then things just get better,they get a mom, and don’t really know that more magic will happen again their world will get bigger as will their families when they join their troop.
I feel like I'm a great judge of character, especially when it comes to how people treat animals. I say that to say this - the ppl that work at Vervet Forest are so kind, humane, compassionate and competent.. This is quite a story! Finally, humans that really actually do care about others than themselves. Love it!
Thank you! :)
I would love to be able to help these baby monkeys I wish we had a place like this where I live
Donations are a great way to help from a distance, we will also have sponsorship packages available this next baby season so that you can help an individual monkey directly.
Awesome. Thank you
Babies r adorable
Amazy how step up take orphans.
Great video, thanks for sharing !

They are so pretty
Poor Angel Butter Bean 💙💙💙

Groot my favorite
Poor Butterbean, I've seen so many so much worse that don't make it. Bless their heart,
About a minute in it looked like Shimesh? Was crying
Aww butter bean poor baby
Stick looks high as a kite from the meds. LoL Glad hes doing better ;)
Harlow Monroe hahahaha yes he was😄
@1:15 lil Nora is a strong little fart lolol
When does the next baby season start I can't wait to see more baby monkeys and the great staff of loving caring people
kimberly pegues very soon. Generally the end of October, beginning of November. I’m excited too!
Hannah just can't wait for a real monkey mom, unlike Timmie who is just happy with his blanket and watching! 😊
Do the vervet moms normally have twins, in nature? If so, I suppose That's why the foster mom's choose 2 babies?
Hannah is your drama queen...every family has one😏
hahahaha!
I think Stick needs to get out of the tree so he can actual rest without trying to find a branch that actually has enough sticks to hold him up.
Poor boy he’s so tired maybe the meds
Dang! That poor baby!
I love what you guys & ladies do. You are nothing like those "idiots" in Cambodia that abuse the hell out of several different types of monkeys for $$! And do I mean I mean abuse of the sort/type that this 54 yr old woman was completely niave of!!
Are the foster mom troops previous rescues?
Ophelia S almost all of the monkeys here are rescues. We are a non breeding facility. But, not all rescues were orphans. Yes some of the foster moms were orphans, but many also came in at older ages due to injuries or being ex pets, etc.
Thanks for clearing that up. I kind of figured it would be weird if it was some random troop from outside the rescue. The foster moms are pretty cool with being in the enclosures. Love watching this channel. and the babies. They look so cuddly. Especially when they sleep.
Why do you have to keep the age groups separated? Than gradually move them up as they age? Why can't you just mix them up straight away?
Stephanie Woods I’m not exactly sure what you mean. Could u elaborate? We don’t keep different age groups separated, so maybe you’re referring to something else that is making you think of different age groups?
What I mean is the babies are all together with staff than as they grow that move up to other enclosures. Maybe I'm misunderstanding. Do you move the babies into the general population after a short while ?
Stephanie Woods so it’s not necessarily based on age. There are many factors involved. Merlin for example was older than many of the babies that moved on before him, but he was in such poor health that he needed to stay behind before he could move to meet moms. The main criteria for the orphans to meet the moms is that they can drink from the bottle inside the feeding cage on their own. Once they can do that, at any age, they can then be introduced to the mothers. But it is only at three months old that they can be released with the moms into the troop. So what you’re seeing is a variety of ages mixed together, like Norah and Shemesh were easily a month apart in age, but it made sense to move them together. Does that help to clarify?
Makes perfect sense!! Thanks for taking the time to clarify!!! Love your channel so much! I would give anything to come volunteer, maybe someday
May I ask...”Is it dangerous for them to be released before 3 months of age?” Is that the age that they’re fully weaned? Or are they in danger of harm by other monkeys if they’re released earlier than 3 months?
When will Merlin move to an intro cage?
JC Eberle .....I am confused, maybe you will help, unconfused me. What do yo mean “move into the cage”?. Thanks JC. Oh! I see! You wrote intro cages. My mistake, thanks any way.
JC Eberle soon, very soon

L.L Mom new episodes come out every Thursday. And I’ve got other stuff for the channel in the works. 😊 please remember to like the videos and share them with your friends 😁✌️
Eagles gotta eat, feed their young. Far more endangered than primates . Love primates though.
Is this breed as aggressive as the ones a bafoon temple?
What Type Of Milk The Babies Are Fed?
Lillie Herold soy milk.
How we miss Kyle!
👍😊
'Super chill' Okay Kyle...time to be a grown up...
Amy Less Nope! No way! Never!
Super chill it is!!!!!
Poor baby can't get comfortable.
Knocked his ass right the fuck out wow
How much are green monkey
I dont think you can put a price on, kidnaping, pain, suffering, torment and neglect it should be a crime
Are these Foster moms, nursing moms?
Celia White not that we know of. This is why the babies must learn to use the feeding cage.
@@VervetMonkey so then the only milk they get is from the cage that is set up with the bottles. So when they are put out with the Troop and their Foster moms they are able to eat on their own and forge for food. Do they get to come back into any of the enclosures?
Celia White theoretically the only milk they get is from the feeding cage once they are in the troop. But I’m beginning to believe it’s possible that some of the foster mothers lactate once they form a bond with the babies. But this is purely a theory and I have no scientific evidence to back it up yet. Yes, they can forage and get to their own food, this is why we wait till they are three months old to let them out into the troop, I explained it in more detail a couple of episodes back. You should check out the Q&A episode it answers a lot of questions in detail. The only reason we bring them back into an enclosure is if they are having an issue.
@@VervetMonkey thank you for your responses on all my questions. This is very interesting, thank you for all yall are doing. 🐵💖🐒
Kyle! Your awfully thin. Eat kiddo!
Do these monkey mom's feed these babies
babies will try suckle but moms dont have milk
I hate when they let a baby cling to another baby. They say oh they don't mind. Yes when they try to walk they do move climb they mind. Why do they let a baby do that? The other baby can not be a mother
dont worry it does not happen for long and if anythin becomes to obssesive we will intervene, we did not start doing this yesterday
If only "the clinger" didn't look like a pained 136 year old man, it might be cute. But yeah, ,the other monkey sure looked frustrated like, "I'm not your therapist, bro! I've got places to go and people to see and you're holding me back. Thank you very much!"
Omg Butter Bean 💔
Kyle yoy need to gain some weight dude
I hate the feeding cage, especially bottles sticking out for the babies to drink from. I really can not think of a worse way to treat babies, even if they are monkeys instead of humans......that's just cold blooded.
Hi Sarah, what is it that you do for a living and what is your experience working with wild animals especially primates. I'd love to have a logical and calm conversation to explain to you why this is necessary and important and actually not cruel at all. I think I can help you to understand if you'd just give me a chance and let go of any of your pre conceived notions.
@@VervetMonkey yeah, go with insults, that's going to help.
@Valdis4418 of course I called them cold blooded, that's what they are. They're also not fit to be around animals, and their responses proved it just as much as their actions do, which are cold blooded, and abusive. They are insulting because they don't know how to be anything else. There was no restraint in their ignorance. Give yourself a break so that you can get educated, just like they need to be.
After the babies bond with foster mothers, they're released with their new parents who then introduce them to their respective troops. And, since the foster mothers are not their actual mothers, they don't produce milk, hence the necessity of the feeding cages, those cold-blooded things with the bottles sticking out for the babies to drink from. "Why a cage?" a mature, less presumptuous person might ask. Well, watch a couple of "baby monkey" videos and you might notice... monkeys are assholes. They really are. A mother will eat fifteen bananas in front of her offspring and not share so much as a single lick of one peel. Older siblings will try ripping a newborn off their mother's nipple simply because they're jealous. I've even seen a mother and daughter actually pry open a baby monkey'smouth to extract and eat the food it was storing in it's cheek pouches. And if a baby, knocking on death's door from starvation, were to be given a life-preserving piece of fruit from a concerned human being, you can rest assured an older, stronger monkey will come along and snatch it right out of the baby's hands, and eat it right in front of it's face without an ounce of concern because, as much as I like them, monkeys really are some greedy ass creatures. So... those cold-blooded cages are quite necessary. "How's the cage prevent the older monkeys from stealing the milk?" an inquisitive, less presumptuous person might ask. Well, the holes are only big enough for the babies to get through. Genius, right? You've got babies heading off to milk bars whenever they are hungry, not having to worry about starving to death. Genius, no? Probably not, right? You'd prefer "Susie" come out and handfeed them five bottles a day while stroking their heads and making lip-smacking sounds, but that's about as rational as your comment. They are, in fact, monkeys and not humans. They live outdoors. They sleep in trees. They eat off the ground. They don't wipe after dropping dueces, and they sniff ass on the regular. So, there's really nothing cold-blooded about a few bottles sticking out of a few cages so that some baby monkeys can have themselves a drink of milk. And, I think you need therapy or religion or maybe a return to school because something is off about you, if you don't take care of your issues before it's too late, I forsee a future in which you're living outdoors, eating off the ground and failing to wipe after you poo. A lot of mentally ill people end up homeless, you deserve better than that Sarah.
@@illiturit1151 so, in other words, you don't know what you're talking about at all, but you like the way it sounds when you talk. 😏
Hate monkeys being inside CAGES under almost ANY circumstances even though u guys mean well. They either make it or they dont. NOt for HUMANS to decide. TOO MANY HUMAN CHILDREN need help and is wayyyyy more noble job. Just opinion.
1) An enclosure is not a cage, nor are the enclosures their permanent housing. 2) It's not for you to decide what humans do with themselves. 3) You really shouldn't be talking about nobility in any manner if you think we should just ignore harmless, innocent, orphaned animals that are now lost and confused and alone. And, that we should not help alleviate the pain and suffering of any injured animals because "they'll either make it or they won't." Don't lie... you love monkeys in cages. Really, really small ones, right? 4) There's enough bodies to go around they can help the monkeys while you save the children. And 5) Your opinion is negative, condescending, and completely useless, so go back to watching your monkey abuse videos and comment on them about how you'd like to punt these "tree rats" into alligator ponds because, even though you mean well, you're living a lie over here and nobody likes a liar. Just opinion.
