Baboon Gourmet [Monkey Meals 101]

Thursday, July 30th, 2015

After a brief stroll by the river this morning, I got to come back to clean cages… 

The mighty South Sascatchewan River.

While it doesn’t sound outwardly very exciting, there are some fun perks involved.  My personal new favourite is preparing the baboon’s treat balls while they are out on their walk! 

Dirk doin some training with Kiki on their daily walk.

While Sammy and Kiki are out and about, I start my primate-chef Magic. 

   

  • It all starts with a little something sweet!  Whether they are jujubes, or what I’ve been using recently, delicious raisins.
  • The baboons also get a good amount of their regular dietary food, the aptly named: Monkey Chow.
  • To add another interesting texture, we also throw in some Horse Crunch.  While it is usually the camel’s treat of choice, the baboons love it too.

If you didn’t know already it should be notes, baboons eat almost everything!

For better or for worse…
