Hygiene items

Brief description: Some chimpanzees enjoy items such brushes, combs, nail files, lipstick, and toothbrushes with toothpaste. Always limit quantity of item (i.e. have the chimpanzee stick out their lips for a little bit of lipstick, rather than give them the whole tube), and remember that anything you give the chimpanzees can (and most likely will) be tasted or eaten (always use non-toxic items).

Materials: There are many options including bamboo toothbrushes, large plastic toothbrushes, bamboo combs, nail files, and lipstick.

Assembly instructions:
No assembly required.

How to use: Some items can be given to the chimpanzees for use (such as toothbrushes, combs, and disposable cardboard nail files), while items like lipstick or toothpaste should be applied/given in moderation by caregivers (versus given in their entirety to the chimpanzees).

Price:
Varies depending on item.
