The influence of cage size and environmental enrichment on the development of stereotypies in bank voles

Bank voles were bred and lived in 4 different environments: small barren cages (SB), small enriched cages (SR), big barren cages (BB) and big enriched ones (BR). Ten different behaviours were recorded at the age of 30, 45, 60, 61,...

Urinary gonadotropin and estrogen excretion during the postpartum estrus, conception, and pregnancy in the cotton-top tamarin (Saguinus oedipus oedipus)

The results indicated that enrichment is more determinant than cage size, as more voles developed stereotypies in SB and BB than in SR and BR.

Control of stress using non-drug approaches

Within different environments, some individuals are more prone to react actively to frustration, including the development of stereotypies. The performance of stereotypies is associated with a more general behavioural activation.

Manipulation of objects in a captive group of lion-tailed macaques (Macaca silenus)

The animals frequently manipulated simple objects [browse and bamboo poles] that were provided in their home cage. They engaged in a variety of goal-oriented manipulative activities [e.g., to apply leverage, to create perches and ladders], with some instances involving joint...

Macaques and other old world simians

Valuable recommendations to select appropriate cage size and to avoid aggression in group-housing conditions. A number of guidelines [regarding cage size] have been published, but these give conflicting advice and appear to be based on current practice rather than an...
