Big Cat Updates

TJ is enjoying watching the girl tigers and they are enjoying checking him out, too.

Hoover is loving vacation.

Joseph finally has everything in his home enclosure re-marked after those ornery tigers’ mini vacation in HIS HOME.  That was a lot of work because Amanda, Andre, & Arthur had left their ‘marks’ everywhere.

Andre, Arthur, and Amanda finally got their home enclosure re-marked just the way they want it after those silly keepers went in, rearranged everything, raked and cleaned everything up.

4/26/17 Wednesday

Raked and seeded the middle empty tiger cages on tiger row.

Lots of Operant and Enrichment sign offs

Picky cats did ok: Zeus ate well, TJ ate well back to only wanting turkey, Cameron likes his feathered chickens. Joseph ate ok wants more chicken than turkey.

Gabby only ate half her diet in the am, but ate more in pm

 Projects

Devin, Gale, Kathryn, Carole and the interns worked on raking cages and giving tours yesterday afternoon.  We have been very short handed in the afternoons, so it’s taking a while, and a lot of staff effort, to get all of the cages raked to keep our cats flea free.
