Capuchins Enrichment


Capuchin monkeyKeeper Adam gives the Capuchins some new enrichment in the form of a hessian sack full of straw and treats.

Enrichment requires the animal to use it’s intellect and foraging skills to retrieve it’s food, thereby creating opportunities for strengthening natural behaviours.

The hessian presented a bit more of a challange than the usual paper sacks but it didn’t take them too long to make a hole from which they could enjoy a lucky-dip lunch!
