Maaitjie goes to the vet

This morning Sarah noticed that Maatjie’s eyes were swollen and so we took her along to the vet.  She said that it could be an allergy and gave her a few shots.  If it is no better tomorrow she will have to be admitted to the hospital for treatment.  Unfortunately, there was no real improvement by 5pm this evening so it looks likely that she will have to go back tomorrow when we take Abbu in for his vasectomy.

We are really concerned about Goofy, who seems depressed since his separation for Koosie and Sartjie.  Goofy, who is very elderly rejected Koosie a few days ago and he and Sartjie were moved to another enclosure.  We are all considering the options and who we can try and pair poor old Goofy with.

Today, the Abso’s (Georgie, Candada and Bobby) were released into the extension area of their enclosure and had a great time investigating.

Work continued on the Macaque enclosure, who are enjoying their new feeding system of scattering their food rather than presenting it in a feeding bowl.
