Abstract
Our findings suggest that self-biting and self-directed stereotypic behavior in rhesus macaques with a history of self-injurious behavior is significantly reduced by outdoor housing in corncribs equipped with perches and toys. The outdoor housing provided a 114% increase in floor area for single-housed animals and a 364% to 837% increase in floor area for group-housed animals.
