daily enrichment
You may have noticed during your visits that the resident animals have lots of toys in their enclosures, which is their daily enrichment.

Enrichment is how the Animal Care team keep all of the animals happy and busy throughout the day!

The Animal Care Team try and do this in a number of ways:-

- Giving them a chance to be active e.g. providing lots of fun things like surfboards to climb on and water jets to play in.

- Making them problem solve e.g. hiding otter food in a dog toy.

- Providing play time with friends e.g. fun with other animals and the Animal Care Team!

- Engaging their senses e.g. rubbing unusual smells in their enclosure or blowing bubbles for them to watch.

- Giving food treats e.g. giving a conger eel to the seals or food in ice lollies for the otters.
