Brief description: Cardboard boxes serve multiple purposes when enriching chimpanzees. They are great for caregivers to hide food and other enrichment in, the chimpanzees can use them for nesting or sitting in, and they can tear them apart to create impromptu tools.
Materials: Cardboard boxes. We use boxes that our produce and other packages are delivered in (we do not use waxy boxes, and we are careful to remove any staples or tape that may come on the boxes for safety reasons.
Assembly instructions: No assembly required (just be sure to remove any potential safety risks like tape or staples).
How to use: Provide boxes in the animal areas.
Price: Free
