Fresh Ideas

As of late not much new stuff has been happening in our animal zone, so we have been creating new toys and chnging the environments about so the animals do not get bored. What we dont want to see are animals pacing up and  down the enclosures looking thoroughly bored.

The Raccoon dogs have had a toy put on the end off a long chain so that they can pull it till their hearts are content. Makes a bit of a racket when it is clanging about but the male really does seem to enjoy it.

The Senegal ground doves have been mating and laying eggs and even though i put three nest pans at different hights she insists on laying eggs in the food bowl. Not wise with messy/ boisterous starlings about. Hopefully she will get the hang of it.

Tomorrows job for me is to create something for the armadillos, i am thinking of something to put food in that they then have to dig up and destroy to get dinner. Maybe something better will come to me in a dream.

The owls have a nest box which i have found poo in so someone has obviously been nosing around in there, good signs for next year and the breeding season.

The hanging baskets are looking rather fab at the moment and bring a bit of colour to the display.

Our centre piece. Love it.

Will we add more animals to the animal zone ..................................
