Primate Tips : Dog Kongs
One of the best enrichment devices are the dog
kongs you can get at the pet stores. They are kind of
pricey, expect to pay anywhere from $10-$20 depending on the
appropriate size for your critter. Get one that he/she can
easily handle, and can get their fingers into.
Take the kong, plaster peanut butter over the small open
end. Roll it in oatmeal, freeze it. Then when frozen
solid, take it out, fill it with cereals, cut fruit/veggies, and
other treats. I will usually fill it up with juice or water
even, and refreeze (those strawberry/tomato green plastic mesh
mini basket things work great for keeping them upright in the
freezer). Also, top off iwth a banana slice, a half of a
cherry tomato, or another goodie on the large open end, to get
them started eating it.
Good good good... plus they get to keep the kong for after treat playing activity!
