FAQ
Non Human Primate Enrichment Mirror: is a mirror appropriate for every primate?
No. Species, individual history, social setting, health, study conditions, prior response, and the approved behavioral plan all matter. Staff should observe use and remove or change the item when the response is unsuitable.
FAQ
Non Human Primate Enrichment Mirror: where should it be placed?
Placement should provide a useful sight line and allow approach or avoidance without blocking food, water, doors, transfer, observation, or daily care. The exact position must also support safe mounting and cleaning.
FAQ

Review reflective surface and backing, edges, breakage, delamination, fasteners, tampering, finger or limb access, detachable pieces, corrosion, and whether the animal can reach hidden hardware.
FAQ
Non Human Primate Enrichment Mirror: how should response be monitored?

FAQ
Non Human Primate Enrichment Mirror: can it replace social or manipulable enrichment?
A mirror is one visual option and should not automatically replace compatible social housing, interaction, foraging, manipulable items, or other activities required by the approved plan.
