The reproductive performance of tamarins (Saguinus mystax mystax) under laboratory conditions was evaluated. Fifteen of 20 male‐female pairs were fertile and produced 30 live births during an observation period of 3.5 years. Twenty‐six breeders (65%) and 12 offspring (40%) more than 3 years old were alive at the termination of the reporting period.
