Added enrichment

March 28, 2018 by Anna

Believe it or not, Jamie, the self-appointed boss, has a tendency to hoard enrichment food puzzles. If we put out a dozen Kongs with peanuts in them, Jamie always winds up with a big pile and more than her fair share. To encourage “sharing,” we try to spread out the enrichment as far as possible and we attach a lot of the chimps’ puzzles to the enclosure caging. We use padlocks to hang raisin boards and other puzzles and we have recently introduced dipper tubes which we screw into fixed spots on the outside of their enclosure. With a lot of focus and determination, Jamie has made these new dipper tubes into her own unique personal project. As you’ll see, she loves a good challenge!

    I am just blown away by the intelligence of Jamie as she got her Peanut Butter tube detached and on her side of the enclosure. What a brilliant girl.

    Once again, duty compels me to send a copy of this video to my friend who teaches in the Behavioral Psychology Department at Western Michigan University. Who needs yet another demonstration of a mouse pulling on a string to reach a piece of cheese when the Amazing Jamie ably demonstrates how to retrieve added nutritional enrichment. Well done, Boss!
