The primary enclosures of the Olive Baboon, 2 Ring-tailed Lemurs and a Blue Monkey had an large buildup of brown dirt/grime around the lower walls along the floor of the enclosures as well as some of the wooden framing along the floor where the food is brought through the fencing. The Olive baboon had a buildup of brown grime on several areas on the walls 5 to 6 ft high around the perching area high up in the enclosure. There was a buildup of older food along the wooden framing and diamond mesh fencing and floors that does not appear to be cleaned up frequently enough to prevent the buildup of dirt/debris and food in accordance to the AWA regulations and standards. In the 'Nursery' there is a Vervet monkey and Ring-tailed Lemur enclosures that have a moderate buildup of a thick brown/black colored dirt/grime along the inside of the cages along the floor area where the wire walls meet, and along the middle sections of the wire cages. The Vervet Monkey had a moderate buildup of the dirt/grime on the wires mid way up the enclosure and at the top where there was a wooden section on the top right that appeared dark brown/black with a buildup of dirt/grime. While the current cleaning/sanitizing is occurring 2 times per week, it appears that several of the animals may require sanitization/cleaning more often in order to prevent the buildup of the dirt and grime that is currently produced in those animals enclosures. The buildup of dirt/grime can be a source of bacteria and possible health hazards for the regulated animals. All primate enclosures must be spot cleaned daily, including old food and sanitized frequently enough to prevent the buildup of dirt and grime on all surfaces that come in contact with the regulated animals.
