A generous donor recently sent us quite a few new, very durable toys for the chimpanzees from our Wildlife Toybox wish list! We are so grateful and have been excited to see the chimps get to use these new items. One of these items is a giant green cube, which I hoped the chimps would enjoy being able to move around to sit on wherever they would like. Burrito is known to sit on top of his blue barrel to get the best view of the neighbors next door (especially when any drama is happening), so I hoped these could be another option for him and others to enjoy. Grace and I decided to wrap up not only the new toy we were giving to Burrito’s group, but also all of the other large toys already in their space. Burrito seemed to really enjoy this! Check out today’s video to see Burrito unwrap all the toys new and old, and enjoy sitting atop his new giant green cube. He made a lovely paper nest once he was done unwrapping everything, and in true Burrito fashion he remained ready to play despite having such a cozy nest! Thank you to the generous donor that gifted us and the chimpanzees all of these wonderful new toys, and to all of our donors who continue to make a difference in the lives of the chimpanzees and cattle who call CSNW home!
Paper Party Part 2 (Burrito’s Version)
We are sending big PANT HOOTS of thanks to everyone who has donated to CSNW in honor of Giving Day for Apes today! You are helping us get closer and closer to our fundraising goal. Every donation goes to the care of our amazing residents and two exciting projects here at the sanctuary. The first project is a memorial garden that will honor the residents whose memory we will always love and stories we will always honor. The second is a support building for our growing staff, that will include space for educational presentations to visitors!
We still have some funds to raise to meet our goal and we are asking for your support. Donate before 9pm PT / 11:59pm ET today (October 8th, 2024)- every donation counts! Plus, there is a $500 prize for the organization that receives the last donation of the night. 🙂 Click here or at the link below to follow along on our progress, donate, share, and help us win that prize!

I thought for sure Bubba was going to drag either the cube or his barrel over to the window! I love the progressive photos of Jamie at the end, they really show the difference that sanctuary makes!

That man is a joy, just vibing in his own world!
I think I saw the realization that he could use the cube to watch neighbors cross his mind as soon as he climbed up on it!
I still have hopes of seeing someone in the rocker, even if Foxie won’t trust it to spin in it
