It was one of the cutest and most fun enrichment sessions I’ve had with the otters.
A simple child-like teething toy that the Furball was greatly enjoying was bringing a big smile to my face. As she chewed and tugged on the durable plaything I thought to myself how neat it was that such a simple item could bring so much happiness to this otter. There were several different toys and treats in the exhibit for the otters that day and the Furball was doing her best to enjoy all of them.
Enrichment items such as the ones pictured with the Furball and Odin are just some of the things this month on the Animal Care Wish List. In a wonderful program set up by the Aquarium the public can help the husbandry staff obtain items like these to add to the mental and physical health of the animals through this wish list. Sort of like a bridal registry for our furry little critters. Check it out at http://www.aquariumofpacific.org/wishlist
Who knows? These items may show up in a future blog or video.
