Working with the Yerkes National Primate Research Center at Emory University, we led an international survey to document current practice and to identify opportunities for refinement.

Fairtrade is about better prices, but also decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world. Workers who make items such as this Child’s Dangling Monkey Chair. As we get older, our bodies are less happy to put up with the wild positions we used to love and certain furniture can adapt those positions to make them comfortable again. It also has a hole on top of it where you can insert a vibe or other toy and you can use it as a mountable chair or stand it up on its side flat against the headboard.To support the research community to refine restraint training of non-human primates we have co-sponsored, over four consecutive years, an 8-hour training workshop on ‘Teaching monkeys to cooperate with restraint: using positive reinforcement training and temperament testing methods’, held at the AALAS National Meeting in the USA.

Due to the handcrafted nature of this item, sizes are to be used as a guide only and colours may vary from the photograph shownIt comes with a realistic TPE toy (not silicone so could be better but if you’re not sharing it, that’s not the end of the world). The toy has five inches of insertable length and a diameter of 1.5 inches. And if you’re not quite sure what that means, EdenFantasys has one of my favorite features of all time where you can view the item in Real Size by adjusting the size of the item to fit a scaled image held up to your screen like a US dollar and credit card.
