Nice exhibit, it’s on the small side even for a monkey so small. Also they need space. But overall still a 5/10 (I’m very strict, animal welfare is very important) the design is 6/10, the natural look makes it full of enrichinment both together make it a 7/10, space is a 4/10. Thanks for sharing!!
 
It's a little bit bigger than can be seen on this photo, but true enough, it's not the biggest exhibit around. I find that zoos in general are too inclined to put their callithricids in very small exhibits, even though they'll make as much use of a big exhibit as larger monkeys, and even among callithricids, pygmy marmosets are most likely to get the short end of the stick. I've seen pygmy marmosets in an exhibit that was built for day geckos, so compared to that, this one's not too bad.
