Flea and Sonko (Common Marmosets) have been taking their medication and the good news is that the swelling is coming down.
Puma (Common Marmoset), did not take his protein supplement this morning and looked a bit down, so he was put under observation. Later in the day, he vomited – could be that he ate something that did not agree with him. He drank some glucose water from the teaspoon and by this evening he looked a little better. He will be under observation again and if he is no better, he will visit the vet.
Carte Blanche arrived and spent about an hour at the sanctuary. The will be back tomorrow.
Today, we offered Mr Black (Black Lemur) and Totsy (Brown Lemur) a millipede to eat, which is part of their natural diet. According to our research, they salivate on millipedes, then roll them between the hands for 5 – 6 minutes before eating. It was fascinating to watch their natural behaviours come out. They got it right – except the eating part. Totsy eventually took a bite and then dropped it a ran off. We are trying to find ways to keep Mr Black busy as he runs in little circles and still appears quite stressed.
The Ruffed Lemurs have settled very well. Noah is on an antibiotic and took all of his medication in peach purity. Both of them love the large trees in their enclosure and were playful this afternoon.
