Can anyone help me out?

I am doing an Investigative project on Natural enclosure vs. sterile (simple) Set ups....

I am looking for books or articles that talk about behaviour in captive animals and wild animals, affect on welfare etc... anything really!!! I need to get as much as I can thanks x

I have about 11 books and about a years worth of mags...I will dig up what I can Becca and let you know what I find.

Thanks Jolene!!! Much appreciated!! Anything on Enviromental enrichment in reptiles too would be awesome

I am assuming you also need to reference it, what do you need for that...jsut the title of the book or the author as well??

i had to write a few assignments about this for animal welfare and animal collections.. theres loads of stuff on google about the development of stereotypical behaviours in captive animals, especially zoo animals. I know that i read somewhere that the lizards clawing on the glass is a little stereotypical behaviour.. not the sweet clawing like i want to come out a play kind.. i mean like freaking out trying to break out kind of clawing.

enrichment.org/MiniWebs/Australasia/workshop01.pdf <-- we had this magazine available at college (they have different issues about different animal enrichments) If that link doesn't work try searching 'shape of enrichment article: reptiles'

There are a lot of books on my websites links page that might be worth lookin at. Also an autistic lady named Temple Grandin is also a great insight into animal behavior. A fellow named Turid Rugaas as well but a lot depends on the type of animal you want to study. Most of the ones I'm familliar with are canine based.
