Thanks. Just a description of the type of enclosure will do.

Its about 50feet long x 20foot high and wide divide into 2 section 1 to house the male and the rest is for the females although the females can get into the males side he cannot get into their side,currently they have 1.3 and they are either ex Southport or Colchester animals.

Thanks for the enclosure details. I thought they had more Mandrills- maybe one or two died or wre transferred. Still, it sounds a good ratio now.

There are actually 4 female Mandrills.

There are actually 4 female Mandrills.

Whoops missed typed they do indeed have 4 females also have another male that lives out the back of the Ring-tailed lemur enclosure,believe hes the son of the breeding male.

I don't want to be judgemental about a place I haven't been to and know little about but it sounds a bit dodgy that they don't want photos to be published, why the secrecy?
