The Saddle Back Tamarin and other Tamarins

  • Chapter
Reproduction in New World Primates

Abstract

For many decades, various species of marmosets and tamarins, members of the family Callitrichidae, have been kept in captivity. Early on these animals were mostly kept as pets or were exhibited in zoological gardens1. Although early attempts to maintain and breed marmosets and tamarins for extended periods of time under captive conditions met with limited success, they have gradually increased our knowledge of the behavior and of the dietary and environmental requirements of callitrichids. More recently, biomedical and behavioral researchers have become interested in these small monkeys and in their potential as laboratory primates. As a result of their studies, our expertise in the maintenance of callitrichids in captivity has increased considerably2–8.
