A few glum monkeys

Shapken (Mona monkey - above) has been under observation all day after it was noticed that he had diahhorea this morning (he spilt his watery content in the water bowl and on Sarah's arm !!).  Emma, who was doing the observations did not notice any more diahhorea, but said that Ginger (his cage mate) also looked a little down today.  I went to visit them, and Ginger did look very glum, but they were both eating, so we will keep an eye on them. 

It was reported that Lilly (Common Marmoset) is also down.  Her foster parents, Dudi and Suki are too distracted with the neighbours and not taking very much notice of her.  Tomorrow, we will put shade netting up to block their view.

Flea and Sonko - determined to be the most mentioned primates on our blog, are also being watched closely.  Sonko has become and little nervous of his foster dad (Flea) and it may be the beginning of a rejection, esspecially now that Abbette has joined them.
