Occasionally in laboratory settings, whether due to a study design or temporary limitations of space and caging, primates are singly caged. Such primates should be kept in a room with other primates and social housing should be planned as soon as possible.
Primates can relax while participating in social grooming.
Single cage perches. Measure the width of the cages and cut Schedule 40 PVC approximately 4 inches longer. We use five pieces of 1 inch PVC for our baboons. Glue a PVC cap on one end of each PVC stick. Drill a hole through the other end of each stick.
