Description
These studies demonstrated that marmosets are diurnal animals and sleep mostly at night. … … Not surprising, similar to all previous studies on marmosets we observed that marmosets generally slept during night and were awake during day. In our study as well as in [26, 27, 29] the marmosets slept 12-13 h.
The marmosets usually chose to sleep in a hut or in a hammock located in the upper part of the cage.
For example, all marmoset species gouge branches to feed on plant gums, as well as eating fruit, flowers, insects and other small animals such as spiders, lizards and snails. Macaques are omnivorous, and eat both plants and meat.
