Enriching Jamie
November 7, 2013 by Elizabeth -
Caregiver Debbie recently ordered a new food puzzle for the chimpanzees. She just got one of them for now so we could make sure it was chimp-proof (safe and sturdy) and up to Jamie’s standards. Since Jamie’s mind is always three steps ahead, she’s hard to keep enriched. One of our daily priorities is finding projects and puzzles that challenge or entertain her. If something keeps her occupied for a few minutes, we consider it a success!
The new food puzzle was a success, as you’ll see in this video.

Her intensity and intelligence are so obvious and amazing!
I bought that exact food cube for my dog. It was a hit! But it’s much more fun watching Jamie figure it out!
She looked kinda angry to me, but that was probably her intensity. I’m glad it worked.
Not angry, just focused. 🙂
Yes, I recognize that food cube from my work with dogs at a dog shelter- glad it works for Jamie and the chimps as well! Glad you found her a new toy!!!!
