Animal Enrichment
OKAY! So we're not talking about chinchillas playing musical instruments, guinea pig sports or STEM club!!!
Sand, mud, rotting logs, and leaves might not seem very exciting to you and me, but for some animals that's the perfect playground! Providing the right environment and not just food, water and shelter is crucial, or very important. Animals need opportunities to run, jump, pounce, climb, burrow, dive, hunt for food, and explore and dash; to do all of the things that they do naturally. Enrichment keeps animals mentally and physically fit.
