Chapter 7.5. Catching animals who have escaped (2007)
LAREF [Laboratory Animal Refinement and Enrichment Forum]
Abstract
Monkeys presumably escape not because they really want to leave their familiar home environment, but because something alarms them, such as an investigator trying to grab them with heavy leather gloves through the partially opened cage door. If they can trust you and you give them a chance to settle down, they will find their way back home without much coaxing?and you close the cage door, while praising the relieved monkey.
