Primate Recipes

I personally do not own a primate but my experience with the animals was something for me to remember ....

Some of the things that I was able to do with the animals for enrichment was:

     I cut waterhoses up into about 8  inch long pieces, piped them full of peanut butter, placed them in the freezer and then stuck a stick in there when i was getting ready to give it to the animals and they would each go about getting the peanut butter out in different ways but the stick was to simulate what tool they used in a natural setting to get out termites/ants ... etc ... they had the best time working with that treat ....

     Then i cut down banana leaves and spread peanut butter
     on them and sprinkled it with raisins and rolled them
     up like a big eggroll and gave them to the animals.
