Capuchins are long-lived and intelligent, so their housing needs to stay climate-appropriate and enrichment-rich across every season, not just extreme weather. Since Ohio sees 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. We walk every Ohio buyer through this at reservation time.
