Colony husbandry of research monkeys

The first problem encountered when dealing with the monkey is restraint. Monkeys over three years of age develop large canine teeth that make them more aggressive and, consequently, more dangerous and difficult to restrain. Two well-trained handlers can usually control...

A method for training unrestrained primates to receive drug injection

Training technique by which an adult, single-housed male baboon learned to offer his arm through a pothole and accept intramuscular injection in this home cage is described and the result demonstrated with a photo. Injection was reliably obtained after approximately...

Stereotyped behavior and cage size

It was concluded that spatial restriction which does not permit 'normal' locomotor behavior, e.g., running, climbing, etc., results in substitute motor expression which frequently takes the form of repetitive stereotyped movement.
