Mirrors as environmental enrichment for African green monkeys

Article Abstract:

Stainless steel circular mirrors were employed in a study of 105 singly housed male African green monkeys to measure mirror use and to assess the mirrors' effectiveness as an enrichment item. Results indicate that the mirrors were an effective enrichment tool that the vast majority of the subjects routinely used, and habitation did not appear to occur even a year after the mirrors were introduced.

Hematological changes in vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) during eight months' adaptation to captivity

Article Abstract:

The fluctuations in hematological values of wild-caught vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) are examined during habituation to captivity. The studies have shown that vervet monkeys need more time to adapt or habituate to a captive environment, as most hematological parameters reached a fairly stable level after 4 months, but WBC levels required almost eight months to reach stable values.
