How to Buy a Monkey in Ohio

Buying a monkey in Ohio starts with confirming your local permit eligibility, then reserving your monkey with a licensed breeder. Here's exactly how the process works with Exotic Monkeys.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Check eligibility: Ohio requires a Dangerous Wild Animal permit through the Ohio Department of Agriculture for most primates.
2. Prepare housing: Ohio has cold winters with heavy snowfall and humid summers — indoor heated space is essential from late fall through early spring — outdoor time must be limited or supplemented with heat lamps once temperatures drop below 65°f.
3. Choose your monkey: Browse our available monkeys and select a species suited to your household.
4. Submit a reservation: Fill out our reservation form with your shipping address and permit status.
5. Verification: Our team confirms your Ohio permit/documentation before finalizing the sale.
6. Delivery: Given the distance involved, most buyers choose flight nanny delivery for a same-day, lower-stress handoff versus multi-day ground transport.

Financing Available
