Article Synopsis
- Tamarins and marmosets are small monkeys that primarily feed on tree sap and gum; marmosets are gummivores, while tamarins eat gum less frequently.
- The study evaluated the impact of a gum feeder on the behavior and well-being of various callitrichine species in a zoo setting, comparing behaviors before and after its introduction.
- Results showed that the gum feeder encouraged natural behaviors like exploration and reduced unwanted behaviors such as coprophagy in red-handed tamarins, indicating it serves as a positive enrichment tool for these species.
