Noodle is loving his Saturday enrichment! 💚

Baffle cages are a favorite around here for keeping animals engaged. Stuffed with bird safe dried flowers, raw pasta, millet, and some pine nuts, it’s the perfect way to mentally stimulate and empower at the same time. 😎

Foraging at its finest!

It’s time go aquarium shopping, Stan. ❤️

We’ve taken some time to think about the placement of his new tank. We wanted to make sure it stays in a heavily trafficked area since he enjoys seeing people. He also really likes seeing the birds. 🤔

Stan is interacting with the foraging ball.

Let us share with you the behavior we are observing and monitoring as we shape Stan's foraging behavior with this acrylic ball.

After half an hour of swimming around the tank, we edited this video to show you this. At first, he is floating. Watch his right eye. We are. We are observing how his eyes move and what happens after. We want to know how his eyes move and what his behavior looks like when he observing something. After a few moments of him looking at the ball, he moves in. After he plucks the shrimp from the ball, it floats away. Watch what happens after the shrimp is moved by the water flow. This tells us movement is a reinforcer for him going after the food. Reinforcer identified.

Next, we see him trying to break the shrimp into a more edible piece. He intentionally goes to his rock on the right to break the piece apart. We can adjust tools and intended usage within his aquarium, the new aquarium that you, our viewers, and supporters have helped us get for Stan!

Stay tuned. More to come!
