Orangutan Climbing Structure - $20,000 (covers multiple habitats)

Our existing climb and play structures for orangutans are seeing some wear and are due to be replaced. These structures are needed for naturalistic play and arboreal fun. They are custom-made of wood and are multiple stories high with hammocks, ropes and vines that are extra durable and vet-approved.

 

Lizard Condo - $3,363 (need 6)

This is a multi-level condo for our critically endangered Guatemalan beaded lizards to play, hide and relax in comfort. This giant unit also has wheels for the lizards on the go and to help with cleaning. The condo is complete with special hide drawers to expand their indoor habitat.

Substrate Delivery- $500 (always in need)

Our sun bears and giant otters enjoy utilizing different substrates for enrichment, especially for digging and foraging (sun bears) and rolling, rubbing and drying off (otters). This item will cover the delivery of substrates such as dirt, mulch, or sand from a local landscaping company.

Universal Bracket- $450 (need 2)

These brackets hold puzzle feeders that require the orangutans to use sticks to obtain food. We have several inserts but could use more brackets to mount them for more groups. 

 

Parrot Perch- $400 (need 2)
This is a giant handmade tree stand that is cut from a single piece of wood. It provides several hooks and eyes to hang enrichment and will be utilized for playtime and programs with Ambassador Birds, including the stars of our bird presentation, the parrots.  

Snack Shack- $375 (need 3)
This is the ultimate hangout spot for binturongs! Made from food-grade plastic and provides a shady spot to eat, sleep, hide or dream. 

Timed release feeder- $225 (Primates need 2 and Birds need 2)
This enrichment item for golden lion tamarins will be used to offer different meals at various and unknown times throughout the day while in their outdoor habitat. This item is also requested for birds, particularly the nocturnal species like tawny frogmouth and spotted dikkop. This automated feeder will allow us to load it with a variety of food types, like live insects, and set a timer to release that food throughout the day or even in the middle of the night! 

Hoofstock Feeders- $147 (always in need)
Giraffes, zebras and warthogs don't like to eat the same way twice! This item will purchase log feeders, honeycomb feeders and other puzzle feeders to keep them entertained and full of snacks. 

Artificial Plants $101 (need 5)
Help spruce up some Scaly Slimy Spectacular habitats. The Herpetology Department is always in need of artificial plants. They are good at providing hiding spots and climbing opportunities for many reptiles and amphibians.

Carnivore Enrichment $75 (always in need)
By purchasing this item, you are helping to restock the enrichment shed for our carnivores. Lions, tigers, sun bears, otters, clouded leopard, fossa, binturongs and other carnivores would benefit from these smaller keeper-requested items which might include puzzles, treat feeders, hanging toys and more. 

Live Plants- $60 (always in need)
The Bird Department would like more live plants to transform the indoor portion of the Avian Propagation Center into a naturalistic jungle for the birds residing there! This will increase the birds’ breeding success and improve their overall well-being.

Orangutan Puzzles - $55 (always in need)
The Primate Team has requested both metal and PVC puzzle feeders for hanging and climbing. This is a great way for orangutans to engage in natural foraging behaviors and have fun! 

Binturong enrichment - $52 (always in need)
The binturong family is growing and climbing. Help us renovate the habitat with various perches, ramps, hammocks and climbing structures suggested by the Carnivore Team.

Hanging Leaf Dish - $51 (always in need)
This hanging leaf dish will enhance our golden lion tamarins’ lifestyle by encouraging species-specific behaviors such as foraging.

Hoofstock Enrichment - $50 (always in need)

Scent Enrichment - $30 (always in need)
Our Carnivore Team is running low on our supply of scents (colognes, perfumes, spices etc). The big cats, fossa and giant pandas are very sensory-oriented. Being able to provide a wide variety of sensory opportunities is one way we keep everyone mentally enriched. This will purchase Zoo-approved scents with high-quality ingredients that the animals love!  

Orangutan Enrichment - $26 (always in need)
This category will purchase one of the following small enrichment items requested by the Primate Department: chalk, paper lawn bags, non-toxic bubble bath, large plastic buckets, large mirrors, durable plastic dumbbells, and building supplies for enrichment.
