Sand, sniffs and a very thorough inspection!

Our porcupine had a brilliant time exploring their sand pit enrichment, digging into every corner to see what they could find. Then it was the camera’s turn: it got a good sniff and inspection before they were satisfied it passed the test!

They really enjoyed their pumpkin enrichment, hunting around for treats in every nook and cranny. Pure autumn joy!
