Harpactira pulchripes (Golden Blue Leg Baboon) Communal Part 1

Although not known in the hobby as "communal" I have been experimenting with this group since mid-November 2019.

As this group seemed to exhibit communal behavior I kept them together out of curiosity. I could always separate them if there was an issue.



So a few weeks went by. I didn't have to separate them.



...then a few months....



....a year...



Here we are 20 months later they are still living together peacefully (as far as I can tell...)







I even can't say I did anything special. I simply left them in the enclosure with their mother and made sure everyone had food and water.

Stay tuned for an H. pulchripes communal feeding video, coming soon!
