At the end of last year, I shared some of the new food puzzles we were able to create for the chimpanzees thanks to the support of our generous donors in last year’s Comfort & Joy Online Auction. In that post, I promised a follow-up on the new puzzles I was creating, and here it is!
These spinning slow feeders have been a huge hit with the chimpanzees so far. We smear small amounts of different high value food items (like mashed banana, peanut butter, and sugar free pudding) on each layer of the puzzle, and the chimps must spin the different layers around to be able to access all of the food within the puzzle. See Cy’s group (and George) work on them in today’s video. Thank you to Jamie R. for these wonderful new puzzles!
