This highly functional white-handed gibbon cage will never win aesthetics prizes, but it gives its inhabitants plenty of space and climbing opportunities. I do love the design!

The problem with this cage is that the animals can`t hide from each other nor from the visitors. I don`t really care that it looks so clinical, but that the gibbons can`t avoid each other is bad.
I don`t like those strange climbing facilities, some decent branches and ropes would have looked better, also a substrate would be nice. It is a deceptive photo, the gibbons look tiny so the cage must be huge, a good height to it too.

The gibbons can hide from the visitors, because they have Access to the indoor rooms all day.The Group is doing well together, altough is isn't "natural", the adult offpspring is living together with their parents such a Long time. By the way-also Mulhouse is keeping several Gibbons Groups together, and is doing fine.
The gibbon enclosure has been refurnished the last few weeks, the climbing frames have been renewed, but are still the same design, there is now a natural floor (looks like a bark mixture), they have even placed 1 live palm tree on the floor!
