OUTSIDE HOUSING TECHNIQUES!
We wanted to share with you some pictures of
HABITAT'S, to give you an idea of how some are
designed.
This is Camile's Place,
as you can see in this picture, she
has made her
habitat full of natural environment for her monkeys.
Camile has use some wonderful techniques with using
garden hose's and a sheet.
You can use hula
hoops, swings, slides, jungle gyms.
Garden Hose's and
Fire Hose works really well and monkeys
love it.
You can use all kinds of fencing to make a habitat, just
keep in mind your
monkeys strength and cunning and
safety.
Little Tike's
and Playskool make great toys
durable for our primates,
and most of all easy to clean, all you need is a hose!

MORE OUTSIDE HABITATS
This is Donna Law's outside
Habitat, featuring Kayli and her
twin girls, ring-tailed Lemurs. Donna has designed her
outside Habitat with thick ropes and branches made
out of pine.
Here is Kayli
carrying the twins, this is her favorite place.
Kayli and the twins having fun on their thick ropes.
This is Mindy, Like most macaques born to swim, they love
water and are great swimmers. Kids
pools are a great
addition to add to their habitats.
This is Chelsea
standing on her shelves made out of wood, all monkeys need some kind of platforms to stand
on and play, ropes are also a big hit in an outdoor habitat.
Another picture of Chelsea's Outdoor habitat!

INSIDE PLAYROOM
For many primate owners, due to weather we can not house
our monkey's outside, so we accommodate inside playrooms.
Here are a few techniques to help you design your inside Playroom:
Here's MugWhy
enjoying her Hammock in her Playroom.
It's one of her favorite places.
Show Off!!
Yep, that's what MugWhy is, playing on her
ropes.
Toys R' Us, is
a great place to shop for your inside & outside toys. Tunnels are a wonderful past time, hours of fun.
For MugWhy's room,
I took two forty inch ladders and hooked them together to make a draw bridge, then in the
middle is a thirty inch so they can get on it from the floor,
they really enjoy this new addition.
Playskool and
Little Tike's make the playroom fun and adds enjoyment for the whole family to watch.
