Large colonies vs. small colonies (1992)

Lipman, N. S.

Abstract

An enrichment program for single-housed macaques and squirrel monkeys is outlined. It is important to recognize that visual contact between incompatible conspecifics can lead to problems such as anorexia and stereotypic behavior. Therefore our caregivers and veterinary staff pay close attention to the cage arrangement [of the single-caged animals] within each room .
