Abstract
From November 1976 to February 1979 a total of 8 litters were born to 6 females. Of the 14 infants, 10 were successfully reared by their parents. Housing, nutrition, a balance between environmental stability and stimulation, and female multiparity are seen as factors contributing to the breeding success of this colony. A controlled male and female pairing programme provided information on mating behaviour and gestation length. One gestation of at least 166 days was observed, longer than that of the common marmoset.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
