Physical environment and its influence on behaviour in captive common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) (1997)

Dettling, A.

Abstract

In a choice situation, branches are frequently used by marmosets supporting the view that branches should be presented as a basic substrate. The marmosets did prefer thicker branches. ... We markedly increased foraging behaviour by suspending a pot, filled with sawdust and crickets, from the cage ceiling.
