The UFAW Handbook on the Care and Management of Laboratory Animals (7th ed): Old World Monkeys (1999)

Baskerville, M.

Abstract

General recommendations for the species-adequate housing of Old World monkeys. Captive primates like to move upwards and look down on unfamiliar humans, and ideally the cage height should allow this. Two tier caging should be avoided. ... Old World primates, particularly young ones, can be trained by reward to enter individual cages or transport boxes, and to allow minor procedures to be carried out without physical restraint.
