    Thanks so much for sharing more of your days with us, the effort involved in keeping things running smoothly and all the various duties which this video shows only a small portion of! Talk about energy! Talk about gratitude (mine)! Thank you for all the caregivers and your heartfelt devotion to the chimps’ happy, healthy lives.

    Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to the wellbeing of the chimps. They depend on you for their happy, safe sanctuary lives. It must be rewarding to be greeted by awaiting eager faces and hoots plus a moment or two of play with Foxie and her dolls.

    I love you all. Seriously. I do. All of you.

    (And I hope Willy B gets a cinnamon roll every now and then for being so good.)

    In this video, I see that a new garden hose is in service. Any chance that Honey B might get to inspect it for length? Something tells me that she would be curious to know how far she could uncoil it…

    Tobin. are you sending a hose ‘hint’ telepathically to Honey B. i guess the overnight camera will tell us if she got the nessage.

    Hello, 2 questions please.First, how often do you clean the chimps enclosers? Is it morning and night, and if after a wee disagreement and maybe a few wee accidents? My 2nd question is, chimps are very smart, and we know how much they love to inspect things, but do any dismantle things they werent supposed to, bar the fire hose? Like it has been said, thank you all for the love, care and most of all the freedom you give to these amazing residents.

      Hi Jane! We clean each chimpanzee enclosure once a day. It takes all morning long to finish the job! They definitely like to try and take apart anything they get their hands on, especially mischevious chimps like Honey B :slight_smile:
