Ok I have ordered an orange baboon, I have read several care sheets that contradict each other a little ad was hoping somebody who has one could help, I have read that they need more of an arboreal set up but with plenty of ground space so they can dig but other sheets have said make sure there is plenty of ground space and just a piece of cork bark on for hem to climb on, of anyone could give me a bit of advice on the best setup for the little one as she should be here tomorrow.
Thanks on advance
Adam

I have three, one sling and two juveniles, and all three are kept like terrestrials. I provided them with deep, dry substrate. The two juveniles are in medium critter keepers with about 5 inches dry coco fiber/peat moss mix; the sling tall Ziploc container with about 3". I provided them with cork bark hides, but all three have burrowed beneath the sub and and only venture out at night. My sling and female juvenile have also webbed up the surface quite a bit. I've read that some keep them semi-arboreal, but mine seem happy burrowing and staying hidden. Just my experience. :)

Thanks for the reply, I have read much the same on other forums people keep the terrestrial but put cork bark in for them and a hide, think that is how I will set up :£
