Who doesn't love a good massage? Ninita the pygmy marmoset sure does.

Who doesn't love a good massage? Ninita the pygmy marmoset sure does.

The staff from the Rare Species Conservatory Foundation released video showing the tiny monkey getting a good rub down with a little toothbrush.

The deaf marmoset was abandoned by her parents. The staff reared her by hand, which included toothbrush massages to teach her how to clean herself.

Ninita is now happy and healthy. She's even living with a boyfriend.

The foundation hopes the video will help raise awareness of its fight to save our world's rare animals.
