“Treat buckets” are a pretty popular form of evening enrichment for the chimps at the sanctuary. Click here to see other forms of evening enrichment that we use at Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest.

    Thank you Keri, that was such fun to watch! After seeing that last perspective, I wish I could be a fly on the wall everyday! And thanks for keeping those seven smart brains so active. I am always amazed at all you do for your extended family. SO much creativity, time, care and love involved. : )

    Great and clever! And they obviously have become very skilled at it. Though I have to say that when you said the peanut butter was smeared on the bottom, I thought “oooooooh that is so mean!” :o) but I know it’s to keep them occupied and challenged! :o)

    Just wondering – Peanut Butter & Co. Peanut Butter, Dark Chocolate Dreams, 16 Ounce Jars (Pack of 6) tastes amazing and is much healthier than Nutella! Can the chimps have chocolate? My brain is on hold right now LOL. They have other great flavors too but I love the Dark Chocolate Dreams. Just to let you know <3

        Thanks – that stuff is good! We don’t give the chimps any added sugar or salt, so we stick to the all-natural nut butters.
