I basically completely agree with everything that Savannah Babe says. Just remember they are very hyperactive and require a lot of attention. That is the biggest thing. If you have the time, they can be the sweetest creatures you can imagine, but if not, they can be pretty hateful little buggers too. Also with caging, height is more important than anything. They love to jump around and climb. Size is not too big of a deal as long as the have plenty of toys (i can post some pics, but i have about 3 ladders, a few ropes, a pouch, a swing etc) to keep them busy. Generally any bird cage seems to work pretty good. I also have an excellent list of food for them. Generally you want to feed them a good mix of fruits, veggies, insects and some grain. Generally every night I give mine a meal worm or two, some thawed out frozen veggies, some chopped up fruit (usally apples, plums, peaches and on occasion mango), and a monkey biscuit. Just PM and i'd be more than happy to send you a copy of everything they need and can eat. Another thing you'll want to be sure to have is a supplement called glideraide. It's just a little supplement that you can mix in their water or sprinkle on their food to get them some of their needed vitamins and such. Another thing you'll hear is that you'll have to buy a product called bugs and berries, I have found that as long as you give them some insects (generally mealies) this is not necessary. If you need to know any more information just send me a pm and i'll gladly answer any other questions you might have. Good luck.
