Abstract
A comprehensive inanimate and animate enrichment program for rhesus macaques is described and valuable recommendations made to facilitate optimal psychological well-being throughout the animals' lives. A successful (80% compatibility) pair formation protocol for female rhesus macaques is outlined. New pairs are formed by moving both individuals to a new location because monkeys housed in individual cages appear to become territorial about their cages.
