title: Husbandry and observation methods of a breeding colony of marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) for behavioural research.
abstract: By allowing families to increase in size, co-operation between parents and adolescents in infant care was encouraged. Young adult pairs were subsequently created with these marmosets which had experience of handling infants to provide a stable basis for breeding 2nd and 3rd generation marmosets in captivity.
