Nice one Kandipandi - why do monkeys always look good in stripes?

nuttybabe

Kandipandi - he is adorable

I was just wondering, those of you who sell them, have you had them checked by trading standards and do you have liability insurance.

I have sold a few to friends and on ebay and i have am setting up a website to sell them but am starting to panic now that i will need insurance and that they will have to be checked for quality by trading standards or someone.
