Is there any chance you remember what sort of small mammals are kept in here? It seems like this establishment has quite a few interesting species so there could be a few surprises in here too.
There are three (or four?) species of tamarin/marmoset. The most interesting is red handed tamarin, which I have not seen in any other US zoo. There are several species of mice and rats, perhaps a dozen. Things like clawed jird and Siberian hamster (I think), although also two or three domestic mice/rat varieties. Some type of fruit bat (not a giant type), fennec fox, two toed sloth, agouti, Prevost squirrel and a few others.
