Abstract
A breeding nucleus of 15 pairs of C. j. jacchus was imported from an established colony in the UK in 1978, and have now multiplied to 137 animals. Good reproductive efficiency and growth rates have occurred in this colony, with minimal problems from diseases of nutritional or infectious origin. One episode of cessation of breeding and abortions was attributed to excessive noise and disturbance of the normal routine.
