    I WANT one of those too!

    I loved the foot technique.

    I just love watching them do anything.

    LOL…They sure enjoyed that but it made my teeth hurt watching them bite the ice. I would have used my foot too,

    LOL! At least she didn’t throw it against the bars to get to the fruit. I’ve seen that often enough. What a great enrichment…a beautiful frozen fruit salad. Well done!

    I laughed so hard at the foot stand! ILooks like the Chimps were really enjoying themselves and it was a new idea for them. Can we serve them at our next meeting?
