Mac Wacha I don't think he had more than the others. I think it just looked that way because he & Mickey were the youngest babies in the Troop.

kkossor ++. I think Dopey looks tiny not huge. What do you think kk?

c p No more than the others had.

Vickie Vandenberg I think he looks on the small side for his age. He's 9 or 10 months here. He looks like he's put on a bit more weight because he's foraging but I'm with you, he does not look huge... not to me... in my opinion.., and all that. LOL ;) Hopefully Arroz will "weigh in" on the subject. (Pun intended) Hahaha xxoo

Interesting thought but I really don't know ...

No wonder the babies die so often that high up in the tree and he is not secure. If the baby quit holding mama at certain times that's a long ways to drop.

Yeah, that's life for them, unfortunately. That's why they spend the majority of their first three months of life clinging to their mothers, and it's why you see baby monkeys clinging to stuffed animals and rocking when they've been taken from their moms -- it's programmed into their DNA to hang on to mom's fur, especially when she's moving. The infant mortality rate is something like 30%, and fatal injuries from falling is probably the biggest cause of death.

And hopefully he'll inherit her patience, as she has the patience of a saint.

Lucy Kelly WOW, you must have zero real friends with a demeanor like that, but hey, good luck with yourself.

Dopey is doing well with weaning, much better than everyone has expected.

Arroz Marisco Yes he has! So proud of him. He has little mini mac attacks. A couple of gecks & some pouting.

OK I'll kiss the frog instead and hope for a miracle :)

Dopey is doing exceptionally well consider Lilly and Buddy are still nursing !

Petey possum SWEATPEA is 4 months old... yet when he throws the same tantrum... hypocrites loves to complain about it... yet dopey who is MUCH older does the same thing yet its okay when he does it? Talk about illogical.....

kkossor so why when the exact same senerio happens with FOUR month old sweet pea does everyone throw a fit and complain? Dopey is much older.. yet threw the exact same tantrum sp. Does... but its okay when dopey does it.. just not when sp does it?

Allie Bagz I'm sorry Allie. I can't answer that for you. I don't follow the Cambodian channels. I've heard the name Sweet Pea before & someone says she/he cries a lot? Other than that, I really don't know Sweet Pea. I'm sorry. I just now found this in my email. Sorry if it was late in getting to you. xxoo

kkossor not late at all! And yes sp is a 4 month old baby that cries alot and does the same thing dopey did here..... but for whatever reason.... sp. Isn't allowed to be a baby.. even though he is one... he gets attacked by people constantly.. and itsbthe same people I found here thay think dopey is just adorable when he doesnthe same thing even though he's older by far!

Allie Bagz One thing I can say is we had been watching older videos of Our Gang here as Arroz had gotten caught in a back log. Dopey is not even a year yet in real time... his Birthday is in late August (I think). So if we're talking about a "mac attack", Dopey didn't have one that was expected. LOL He handled weaning very well. As far as little Sweet Pea is concerned, I'm with you as I feel 4 months old is way too young for a baby to be weaned. Each monkey is different just as humans are individuals & I think the Mum of both species know when their child should be weaned... in my opinion. LOL

kkossor oh dear god... some one on these channels actually has a mind capable of thinking.... never thought I would see the day!!!! Hats off to you!!! And yes thay was around when dopey was born.. but aren't we in late august? Lol. Just saying.. he either is or is days away from being 1.. but close enough for me haa

He certainly does, This guy's eyes are incredibly expressive !

Vickie Vandenberg I'm glad that we can't remember the process of being weened as it surely must be as traumatic as Dopey is making it appear. My younger brother by 14 months (who must have stolen mine, lol) even reminds me of Dopey, and our Mother has made comments that she had a far worse experience with him. The longer it goes on the harder it is. Still, I can't help feeling sorry for him! My brother that is, lol. Peace ✌🏽️.

Dennis Harrison ++. Hi Dennis. Wow. I'd like to comment on your comment but there are too many parts missing; i.e., how old is your brother, does he have "special" issues, is he a substance abuser? I'm not sure what to say, I just know when I read your comment I felt extreme sadness come over me and I want to know more about your brother. As for the weaning process I do know that it's pretty much the same for baby monkeys as it is for humans. It's a terrible thing to go through no matter who or what you are. I find it heartbreaking to watch these babies being weaned. It's not funny, they aren't being spoiled brats, they are going through a form of withdrawal that they don't understand. That nipple is their lifeline to their mother. It's food, it's love, it's safety. At least that is how I look at it. Of course that is also my opinion. I'm sure there are lots of people out there that will totally disagree and that's okay, I'm not an expert on the subject. I always try to see the eyes of the baby monkey having his weaning fit, you can see the pain they are going through. I'm sure they must be feeling rejected from a mother that has always been there for them to fulfill those needs and all of a sudden the day comes when they can't have it anymore. You can see the misunderstanding in their little faces and by the way they throw such a tantrum! In Dopey's case, I feel that he loves to be a kid. He plays hard, he's a little imp having so much fun. That's why I made the comment. He should be called Peter Pan. Sadly though, that's not how it will be. I wonder if baby monkeys would like to use a pacifier? It might help. It did my little monkey when he was at the weaning stage of life. He actually lost it one day while I had him out in his stroller. He would NOT take a new one. It was that old, nasty, sucked to death pacifier he'd used forever and didn't want any other one. He got over it though and it's a good thing he did or he was headed to the adoption center!! Just kidding! Wow, it just hit me...I always wondered why he puts a bottle nipple on his beer! Ha! Again, just kidding. Well Dennis, thanks for the comment. I wish I knew more. All I can do is wish you, mom, and your brother well and hope life treats you good. Have a good day or night...I think it's late. ✌️

Vickie Vandenberg hi there. Where do I start. I feel really guilty for causing you any sadness, and equally grateful for the sincere concerns that you have shown towards our plight. Alas, I was only joking! I'm not sure where you are from, but I'm a Brit. I'm afraid, and I'm sure you are aware that we are well known for a certain type of humour. With regards to your other observations I agree it is obviously traumatic. The confusion as to why such an important and comforting part of their upbringing is coming to such an abrupt end is genuinely stressful and traumatic. Once again, sorry for the misunderstanding. Bless you x.

Dennis Harrison ++. Okay Dennis Harrison, where do I begin. I'm not sure so I am going to pause for a bit and think on what you wrote. So, if you don't hear from me for a few days, I'm just thinking. If you never hear from me again, then I guess I overthought it! By the way, I knew you were a Brit. Not sure how but I did. I think it's in the way you speak. Not sure! I am from New England. Does that make us kin? Ha ha. Just kidding. Born in Connecticut, moved to Rhode Island which I will always call home, spent time in New Hampshire, then went west to Arizona and now I'm in Utah, a place not worthy of my mention. New England is my favorite but I don't know if I will ever make it back there. Like Reddys now elusive nipple, I have to grow up and stay put!! At any rate, I will be in touch again to say hi or I will vanish to a place with the baby monkeys of HK. Take care... ✌️Dennis 💫

Vickie Vandenberg looks like I have a lot of videos to watch, I'm hooked. live.co.uk

Lucy Kelly, that's what I had in mind when I suggested buying a framed photo. I thought he might take that and run with it. Thank you for spelling out the details for him. I think if more of us would let him know we'd like that, he'll actually do it. Again...thank you Lucy Kelly. Have a wonderful week.

Sarah Marie I thought the very same thing. I couldn't resist a couple of screen shots around 13:30 and after, even though Dopey is fading away and there's a branch in the way.

Sarah Marie There are lots of lovely photos on Arroz's website.

Thank you kkossor. I have seen them and they are very lovely. Thank you for reminding me of them. But, I'm hoping Arroz will start selling some of his pictures on mugs, wall art, etc so he can make some money to support whatever needs our monkey's have....or however he chooses to use the funds. That was my reason for mentioning it. Also, having an autographed picture would be extra special. :)

kkossor...very nice to hear from you again. :)

That was supposed to say Knotty!Damned spellcheck...

Nora could certainly take some mothering lessons from Reddy, as well.

Dopey actually is better behaved than Lilly and Bubby who are much older.

Most of the comments on these videos are inane, it's either people getting hysterical because a mom is too gentle, or people getting hysterical because the mom isn't gentle enough. They don't even stop to think we're only seeing a few minutes of these animals' lives, and everyone thinks they know better than the mothers. Thank God it's not like the Angkor channels, where people tell the cameramen to interfere with the animals' lives and the cameramen actually do it. I have deep respect for Arroz and how he doesn't interfere with the monkeys.

I still can't tell as we speak !

Arroz Marisco I think dopey is in mourning he lost his title. Poor baby.

It's a panasonic GH4.

kkossor beat me too it! I seen that too

Jack Caldwell She looks a bit more "fluffy" around the middle. LOL

I was just thinking she didn't look pregnant, but she could still be in the early stages. She gave birth to Dopey later in the season last year. I would love to see Dopey's reaction to a new brother, or sister. I'll bet there'd be plenty of pouting going on then!

Hollis Blinn I hope it will click as to why Mom had to turn his tap to OFF LOL

Tresa Lamb QUITE POSSIBLY TRESA! I HOPE SHE IS. I WOULD SO LOVE FOR DOPEY TO HAVE A SIBLING. XXOO oops. Misspelled your name. Fixed it. LOL

It's his eyes, I love the sort of emotions he'd convey in them.

🤓👀😂

Indeed fall is their biggest killer !

ShannonDamnit

ShannonDamnit Shannon no offense but it really amazes me that so many think Dopey got to suckle more than the others. Most of the babies were born in May. He was born in August so he's right on target to when the the other Moms started weaning their kids. He's a full 3 months younger than the others. And Lilly still nurses & she's older than Dopey. Just curious. Thanks. :)

Not sure they probably can't appreciate distance and perspective well at this age.

There will be more to come !

Nora isn't exactly novice. She was very loving towards her first baby, Vince last year and way too protective too ! I think she's just not quite adjusted to the fact that she's a mother again !

Crohn's really is unpleasant. Speedy remission :)

Thank you, Arroz

RustyAnne Yakel Sorry to hear Rusty. I have a relative who suffers with it. Sending up prayers.

Thanks, KK HUGS

+RustyAnne Yakel Feel better soon! We miss you too :)

Eddie and Cessa have at least different coat colour so they aren't too bad :)

Nora has an older baby from last year Vince who's thriving. Maybe she's just a bit under the weather there.

Vickie Vandenberg I have started watching these clips recently, but in no real order. I also find it strange, such difference in the scale of treatment that babies receive from their mothers. den

Vickie Vandenberg his name? @

Dennis Harrison : Hi Den...some of the mothers are awesome; others I'd like to go pay them a visit and slap them upside their head and tell them to knock it off and be a good mum. Watch Reddy, Dopey's mum, she is one of the best!

Vickie Vandenberg Hi Vickie. The reason for the last few sporadic messages, and the den, harrison etc.....is that my email is in the last entries, if you take another look at my posts you will see. Clandestine, I know, but I didn't want to post it for all to see.

Dennis Harrison : I'm a little confused with the name thing, your email being in the last entries ???? or whatever it is you said. I don't understand. Could you maybe explain it better? -~V~

William Buck Awe! I can just imagine it happening. lol

GozerTheGozerian did you ever find it?

kkossor yeah the last thing we need is a kidnapper in this neck of the woods

She indeed is one great mum !

Sarah Marie When a Mom lays on the ground & looks at the baby straight in their face, only a few feet away, it's a pretty good chance they're doing Walk Training. Nora exhibited the classic position. (It also just happens to keep the baby off her teat LOL)

kkossor, you are most right about all of that. However, I was summing up all of her actions. I'm hoping Nora will learn kinder treatment from Nan. Thank you so much for your comment. I'm not used to anyone paying any attention to anything this old grandma says anymore. haha

Sarah Marie I too hope Nora will be more kind. She was very loving with her 1st so this "firm" treatment is surprising. I'm so sorry you've felt ignored. I'm sure it wasn't intentional. Arroz values everyone's opinion. I, myself, am very pleased to have met you. I'll keep my eyes open for you in future videos. :)

Sarah Marie PS What flower is that in your profile circle? It's so very pretty.

kkossor, you're so kind. No dear, I'm not being ignored. Just don't usually get a response from anyone. ;) I know Arroz cares very much. We're very lucky to have him.
