Jody’s grooming of those twinkly toes is so tender and sweet.
Noticed fingernails very long (I wish MINE looked that good). Do caregivers give manicure and pedicures? And if so, how do you do it?
Hi Elaine! The chimpanzees take care of their own nails. Jamie will even use an emory board, but mostly the chimps just ignore their nails or sometimes bite them off.
