This morning, at supplements, Nigel (Common Marmoset) was nowhere to be found. We were all very worried and just about to go in and check the sleeping box when he suddenly appeared.
Volunteers spent all morning making enrichment (strings of yummy food) for our bored Macaques, which kept them busy this afternoon. The outdoor area of their enclosure is not complete yet and the bored boys have found ways to get out into the security area twice. Mike and Sarah have actually been in with them to coax them back to their enclosure. Fortunately, the are all gentle giants, but a little stubbon sometimes. We are trying to find new ways to keep them all occupied until their enclosure is complete (in about three weeks).
We were hoping that single Maverick (common marmoset) would get on with the other new comers from Israel, Shacked and Pecan (common marmosets) but no luck. They are in adjoining enclosures and were not impressed with each others company today. We will be building Pecan and Shacked a new enclosure and moving them out. We are hoping that Maverick will get on with Abbu.
Belba (common marmoset) will be going to the vet on Thursday, probably to have a tooth pulled. She has absess on her face which pops up from time and time.
