Bobbing for apples

November 18, 2014 by Debbie

It’s fall time and that means apples are very plentiful. Today we decided to let the chimps bob for apples! We filled buckets with water and added small whole apples. As predicted, no one really “bobbed” for their apples—they just used their hands 🙂 But they definitely loved the forage—food squeaks were echoing through the chimp house as we scattered the buckets around.

Jamie in particular loves whole apples and she gets very excited whenever we include them in forages. Today was no different, and she was sure to get her share (and then some!) But everyone else enjoyed the forage as well.

After all that foraging, Jamie curled up for a nice nap in the sun:

    So sweet. What more could a girl need? Except maybe for me to come and sing to her. (and Burrito of course)
