Happy Notes

“Makes my inner child smile!”

I started watching Funky Monkey Ranch on TikTok Live in September 2023. I was extremely impressed with the level of engagement the creator, Dwan, had with her audience. Alongside Winston and Quinley, seamlessly joining the troop later, was Mila. I watch every day without fail because I know that once I tune in, my happiness levels will rise substantially. I highly recommend this community and love the FMR merchandise – quality products made by a one-of-a-kind artisan with speedy delivery. Plus, FMR TikTok will make your inner child smile for a bit.

“So knowledgeable + helpful!”

I found FMR on TikTok because I was very interested in adding a spider monkey to our family. I asked Dwan a million questions and she always answered with grace. Once I adopted Lola Mia I had more questions and she’s always been so helpful and knowledgeable. She taught me in person how to do the tail wrap method for diapering. We are lucky that she lives close by and opens her home to us so Lola Mia can have monkey playdates.

“Highlight of the party!”

My daughter’s third birthday party was a hit with real live monkeys in attendance. Our party theme was Wild and Three ~ Party Animals. Funky Monkey Ranch showed up with the monkeys dressed in adorable giraffe print overalls – all matching so cute! Quinley was a little social butterfly going around to visit everyone and Mila loved being fed treats by the kids. Everyone had a great time and we took cute photos filled with memories to last a lifetime.
