Why We Like It

This enrichment is a great way to recycle water jugs, takes only a few seconds to put together, and encourages animals like anteaters, giraffe, and echidna to use their tongue as they would in the wild.

Materials
  • Empty water jug

  • Zip ties or chains for attachment

How to Make It
  1. Fill clean water jug with small foods

  2. Attach to outside of enclosure with zip-tie or chain
