Let’s Do a Perimeter Check!

September 27, 2024 by Krissy Brasfield

One of the first things we caregivers do each morning is to perform a perimeter check.  We check the all important rattlesnake fencing for holes.  Next, we check the primary and secondary fencing that surrounds the chimps 4 acre habitat to be sure that it has remained sound through the night.  We also make sure everyone onsite has performed a radio check, we check locks, and we make sure the fence voltage is within an acceptable range.

Next, we let the chimps out onto their respective outdoor habitats!  Young’s Hill is home to Jamie’s group, and Cy’s group has access to The Bray.  It’s fun to see who is first to go outside each morning!

Come along with us!

    A nice quiet morning!
    I see Señor Cy had some reading materials ready and waiting for him!

    It must be challenging to take on such exacting and important responsibilities the very first thing in the morning. And yet, through all the serious safety check business someone found the time to hang a magazine page to greet the Bray Gang as toddle out to greet the morning! Both Gordo and Willy B looked pleased to see it, gave it a tap, but decided to leave it for Cy. Glad to see Rayne out with the Boys Club!

    Terry looking his fluffy best this morning and a bit of reading material for Cy, that was so sweet to see the others tap it but leave it for him.
