He is a thief and is verbally abusive

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AngryAngryAfter buying my first monkey from him I was happy with it all so I decided to get another one. After many tries of trying to appease him with where to place a deposit I got so frustrated with him and then the abuse started he texted me how dumb I was for my age and he could basically do whatever he wanted since I was stupid enough to give him a deposit. I do have text prove if you would like to see them my number is 864-285-****. He kept my 1000.00 even after I told him that I did not wish to buy one any longer then he continued to be abusive and demeaning and told me he was keeping my deposit. I told him I would gladly pay him 200.00 for his time texting but I anted my 800.00 back for a no sale as we did not even have a contract for a deposit. He told me good luck and no. He is an abusive a****** and the good thing for him he can not hide his actions from God or the public. Do not buy from him ever he will flip on you in any given second.Bullshit Dead them

Please do not purchase anything from this man. Jim is well known for selling very sick babies. The only thing Jim cares about is putting money in his pocket.

Great Experience

I have been to Jims home in St Petersburg. His exotics were always in clean environments and appeared to be very healthy. I observed Jim taking great care of all his exotics.

You could not tell the female was a sick viral runt when you purchased her? You could not tell that the 6 month old was WAY bigger and more adult like than the female?

Could you maybe have thought the female was a runt BECAUSE you were comparing her to the size of the male which you stated was much older?

Just curious. I am very sorry for you that is tragic and I hope you find a heathland companion for your boy

Ladonte Dom

OK you posted 500 pictures of the baby monkeys on your Facebook where they were in perfect health and you were as happy as could be it’s my contention that you aspirated the baby and why did your lawyer not contact me you have not taking me to court you don’t have a legal leg to stand on I’m sorry you had a bad experience but it was not my fault that you killed this baby monkey ????

Guest

All of you.....you have no business buying these monkeys as pets in the first place. They are not pets. Many cats and dogs needing homes

You don’t know what your talking about. Are you a monkey?

Do you know how they feel? Are you okay with the meds you take being tested on them? Why don’t you focus more on that? Where suffering is induced?

I cannot have children.

I cannot adopt or buy a child. My marmoset IS my child and the love of my life and you can tell my her actions she loves me and she is healthy happy and wonderful

Please leave an email address of a way to contact you. You are one of many who have been lied to cheated, and scammed and I can help you.

NOT A TRUE DEALER RIP OFF BUYERS BEWARE RUN THE OHER WAY

HOW IS THIS MAN STILL IN BUSINESS AFTER ALL THE COMPLAINTS AND STORIES IN REGARDS TO THIS FACILITY. HE SELLS ANIMALS THAT HE IS NOT LICENSE TO SELL AND HAS BEEN FOR AWHILE. RUDE, OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T KNOW HIS PROFESSION. I WOULD ENCOURAGE ALL CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH THIS BUSINESS TO CONTACT THE USDA WHERE HE HAS A LICENSE, AS WELL AS THE STATE OF FLORIDA CONSUMER PROTECTION AGENCY IN TALLAHASSEE. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND GET RESULTS. ALSO YOU NEED TO CONTACT THE FWC TOO. IF YOU DON'T SPEAK UP THE OWNER GETS AWAY WITH RIPPING PEOPLE OFF.

Many have filed complaints with FWC and USDA and he is still ripping people off. Please post your comment on the other sites that expose bad businesses as well as the marmoset, primate, and fennec fox facebook sites. If the government won't do something we can at least warn people not to buy from him.

This is a complaint against Jim Hammonds AKA The Monkey Whisper.

Jim Hammonds

14765 U.S. 301 N.

Parrish, Fl. 34219

License # 58-B-0614

In August of this year I flew my two daughters down to Florida to pick up what was suppose to be two bottle feed 9 week old fennec foxes at the price of 5,000.

Mr. Hammonds had my daughter to sign the paperwork before he brought the foxes out.

The foxes that he gave her were not bottle feed 9 week old baby foxes. They were adult wild caught foxes that was in sick and in very poor condition. They has sores all over them not to mention after I took them to the vet that were full of internal parasites.. We treated them for that but they were still in poor condition,. I drove 7 hours to a vet in Denver Indiana for treatment on these foxes as well. These two foxes ending up dying .

This man should be shut down . He is a liar , a cheat and takes advantage of people.

You too? He told me he had sold many of these foxes and I was his only dissatisfied customer.

Since then I have talked to many who have bought animals from him including primates and they all describe similar experiences. People, do not buy from this man.

Do your homework. He has many many negative reviews and is known to be rude and insulting to anyone who questions him.

You may want to email the FWC in Florida. I emailed him yesterday and if enough people who have been lied to and taken advantage of by him report the information to FWC they might just do something about it.

Wild Caught Fennec Foxes do not need to be wild caught and sold as being 8 or 9 week old bottle fed foxes. Here is the email address.Robert.OHoro@***.com

Angelfish503. Hammonds has had many problems and reports to FWC and USDA. So far nothing has been done to either stop these sick imports or punish those who sell them under false pretense of being bottle raised babies.

Guest

Those animals are not suitable pets. Find a dog or cat.

They belong in their natural environment.

Maybe the guy is a crook ; I don't know. But he shouldn't be messing with animals that should remain wild.

Actually the Fennecs born in this country for generations make lovely pets for those who love the exotics. However, capturing them in the wild and shipping them here results in many deaths and animals coming into this country carrying diseases that can be passed on to our domestic pets and even our children. This particular broker cares nothing about the health and well being of the animals or the people he sells them to.

Do Not Buy From Him!

I bought a Marmoset, had her 7 days, she died, he unfriended me on Facebook, I asked if I could be reimbursed, he said "No Warranty". Had a Necropsy done, he feeds his marmosets human infant formula, which causes hemochromatosis, which is an iron storage disease.

They DO NOT need iron, and he feeds formula and rice cereal...both formulated with extra iron for human babies. So I spent $5,075 on a Marmoset that died because of her diet. Horrible person to take money from me, who claims he has a 6 month Warranty, the only paperwork he sent me was a paper stating I received her "in apparent good health". I am not a vet, how could I have possibly known she had a disease causing her organs to fail...slowly...5 minutes after receiving her?

Do not want anyome else to go through this. So my attorney is handling my case.

Baby Marmosets are supposed to have ONLY low iron baby formula. It’s hard to find on shelves so I order mine.

I DID my research before buying my monkey and only feed her similar 60/40 with low iron.

It’s in a yellow can. Michael Poggi also says to use regular infant formula but if you ask Kathy with Monkeysrus (www.sugarglidersrus.com) will tell you do not use regular infant formula for that very reason

It’s very easy to blame the breeder for anything negative that happens but I got a Telya a lot of times the customer can inadvertently caused a problem with their pad by aspirating them and not taking proper care of them as instructed I’m sorry you had a bad experience if you are a person out there that is interested in having a pet marmoset as a companionable it’s very easy to blame the breeder for anything negative that happens but I got a Telya a lot of times the customer can inadvertently cause a problem with their pad by aspirating them and not taking proper care of them as instructed I’m sorry you had a bad experience if you are a person out there that is interested in having a pet marmoset as a companion PLEASE VISIT MY WEBSITE FOR PRICING AND AVAILABILITY THEMONKEYWHISPERER.COM THANK YOU, JIM

Charged $400 for a $75 cage for the marmoset we bought from him. Claims its a special cage with wooden box for small primates found the same cage for $75 on Amazon. Rude and obnoxious.

Sells sick animals

Ordered an 8 week old bottle-raised male Fennec and was sold a 4 1/2 to 6 months old malnourished female with 2 strains of coccidia, hookworm, and scabs all over her body which became oozing sores. Investigation showed that this 'baby' was a wild-caught from Sudan and she will never be a pet. This man lied about its origin, age, sex, and health. Google him and you'll find many, many dissatisfied customers. Rip Off Reports has half a dozen on him. Check Pinellas County Court Records , Yelp, Yellow Pages; the list goes on. Mention his name to other breeders, dealers, brokers. He is a very poor business man, rude, disrespectful, immature and intimidating. If you complain he will call you names and threaten to sue you for slander. Warning: Don't buy from him!

This con man advertises 8 week old babies that are actually much older and infected with parasites. Avoid him like the plague!

Do not buy animals from this man. He sells sick animals and cares nothing about them, only the money.

Disgusting

I cannot for the life of me grasp how humans still believe it is OK to buy and sell life. To encroach upon the habitat of others, kidnap and sell them for profit needs to be recognized as human error. Those baby monkeys did not spring up here in the United States. Originally, they were violently brought here from another continent by vile humans such as the "monkey whisperer". No good can ever come from that. If there were no buyers and no profit, this horrid monkey business would come to a screeching halt. Please rescue a homeless cat or dog and stop supporting the poaching trade.
