Enrichment

Again, another cute day as far as the cats are concerned. This morning on Tiger row, BB King was being playful with the hose. He chased the stream everywhere and bit at it like Rocky and Jake do when the hose gets turned on. I thought it was cute with a dog, wait til you see it with a tiger. Today was 88 with 80% humidity. HOT. We turned on the misters for the cats and put up all the shade cloths. I made a "bloodcicle" for the cats. (Froze the left over juices from the meat and froze it.) I gave it to Thunder 2 (Tiger), he daintily held it in his paws and licked it until it was gone. I gave it to Cindy and Ales (cougars) who smacked it out of the air and chewed on it. I have it to Wanoka, Bobby and Tiger ( bobcats) where they rolled it around and licked it. And I gave a little to Rayn, she bit into it and it was gone in seconds.
We also froze a bucket of water with grapes and watermelon in it for Bam Bam the Grizzly bear. (Pictures to follow) and he stuck his nose down inside the melty part and ate all the produce, the proceeded to skate around on the remaining ice.
We got a barrel full of carpe donated. Creepy looking fish. We gave them out to the bears, who had more fun swinging them around like a rope toy than actually eating the 12 lb fish. Bam Bam demolished his. When we came back to clean it up, there were little bits of fish gut EVERYWHERE.
I found a tarantula AND a scorpion today! SCARY!
