Effects of different environmental enrichment devices on cage stereotypies and autoaggression in captive cynomolgus monkeys

Autoaggression and stereotypies in individually housed cynomolgus monkeys were compared in a standard primate cage and an enriched playpen environment. Stereotypy and autoaggression were markedly reduced in the playpen, but reappeared on return to the home cage. Some of the...
