Raisin Boards

September 15, 2011 by Jackie

Raisin boards are blocks of wood with holes drilled in them that we put raisins or other dried fruit into and the chimps have to use tools or find other creative ways to get the food out. We have implemented an evening “enhanced enrichment” program, in which we present the chimpanzees with a puzzles or some other type of challenge at the end of the day to help keep them from getting bored. Tonight’s raisin boards had a peanut butter/banana paste in them, which the chimps really loved. Here’s Missy’s strategy.

She alternated between using her hand made tool

and just sucking the peanut butter out (which had solidified some in the fridge)

Whatever works, right?
