It’s been a while since we had a Chimps’ Choice item, and we have an awesome idea!
We love to challenge the chimps with puzzles. Not to cause stress, of course, but to keep them stimulated and enriched. Jamie loves nothing more than a project but she’s so smart that it is difficult to come up with a project for her that actually challenges her. Something that would take me an hour to figure out, Jamie masters in less than 5 minutes. The puzzles that Cari donated the other day are just perfect and we would love to have more. The website has a variety of puzzles, but not all of them will work for us, so I added the specific ones we think will be best to our Amazon Wishlist. They are the PVC Puzzle, the hanging sliding feeder, the Forage Raisin Ball, and the Discovery Food Ball. All of these puzzles have a chain attached to them and hang on the outside of the caging. They encourage tool use and creative problem solving skills, and I suspect they will be just the thing to keep Jamie and the others enriched and occupied for years to come.
***Update: The company that sells these puzzles, AbsolutePrimate.com, has a $75 minimum, so if you would like to participate, instead of ordering them through the website, please send us a donation and we will order them. Be sure to mention Chimps’ Choice or puzzles in the gift note section.
I checked out the web site and it said that there was a $75.00 minimume. Maybe we could send the money to you and then you could order the ones you want. Does that sound OK?
Oh no! I wasn’t aware of that, Kathy! Yes, please send us a check instead of ordering through them. You can just put “Puzzles” in the gift note section on the donation form- that way we know what it’s for.
Thanks for pointing that out!
I will send a check for $25.00. Would anyone like to match that?
Kathy, I’ll match that for you, my $25 check’s on the way.
Thank you Candy, now we need one more so we have $75.00 for at least a minimum order.
I love these puzzles – what a great site!
I will match the other $25 so you can get an order on the way.
I will give my check to Diana on Sun. at the auction committee meeting.
Tnaks Pam for the match.
Those puzzles are FABULOUS!! I’ll give a check to Diana on Sunday as well……let’s start another $75 order!!!
Thanks so much everyone! 🙂
