A mobile cage facilitates periodic social contact and exercise for singly caged adult Vervet monkeys.
A mobile exercise cage that expands the quantity and improves the quality of the space available to singly caged adult Vervet monkey males is described. It was easily fitted into an existing caging system and the addition of a resident consort female made it possible for the males to mate and have regular social contact.
