The capuchin enclosure

Sonko (Marmoset) went back to the vet who said that she thought the swollen testicle had gone down a little.  We were relieved that he did not need to be castrated, especially since he has already had a vasectomy.  We still need to keep an eye on things but the vet was happy with his progress and will not need to see him again unless his condition gets worse.

Poppy (dog) had some teeth out (ouch !!!) but will probably be a lot more comfortable once she has fully recovered.

The volunteers are working very hard to complete the new capuchin enclosure so that we can collect the two new arrivals (two adult capuchins).  They will be foster parents for Chino, the baby capuchin we are currently hand rearing.  We are building the enclosure in two sections with an introduction area for baby Chino so that he can slowly get acquainted with his new mom and dad and we can be sure that they will accept him before he joins them permanently.
