mainly to be exudativores as well as insectivores. The eastern pygmy marmosets feed primarily on plant exudates which consist of tree sap, tree gum as well as latex from trees and lianas. This consists of a large portion of their diet. They are known at times to also eat arthropods, primarily being insects, and occasionally eat fruits for extra nutrition. The species, due to their particular diet, has dental as well as nail adaptations in order to gnaw, dig, and cling vertically to trees; these are all behaviors associated with feeding as well as exudate foraging.
