title: Dietary habits relating to 'wasting marmoset syndrome' (WMS).
abstract: The syndrome is a condition of poor weight gain and weakness. Changed eating habits of animals suffering from it lead to consumption of a poorly-balanced diet. By softening the diet and avoiding less nutritious foods, the eating habits can be improved and the syndrome halted. Particular attention should be paid to the palatibility of high-protein foods when weaning marmosets.
