2012 Winter Wish List
Daylight Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb Everybody wants to find their best light. Our turtles look and feel their best drenched in a warm, daylight fluorescent glow – these bulbs help them bathe in healthy radiance.
Cowskin Hide Healthy teeth need a true-blue chew. Our littlest big cats, Sohni and Sanjiv the Sumatran tiger cubs, will love gnawing on these, as will active adult carnivores like lions and bush dogs.
Whoopsie-daisy! Our bumper crops of baby flamingos need firm footing in their holding area. This durable, non-slip mat gives them the substrate they need to take confident steps.
Food Processor This isn’t your grandmother’s chopped salad. With hundreds of critters munching on veggies every day, a food processor makes all the difference in the world to our animal nutritionists.
Platform Veterinary Scale Call us crazy, but around here, we like to weigh ourselves. Weight monitoring is an important aspect of animal care – this scale helps us keep tabs on individual fitness.
Little Tykes Sandbox Who knew the kiddie pool could be versatile? These make great wading pools on hot days; they can also be filled with a variety of fun materials for foraging.
Rolls of Seatbelt Material The great apes get a swing vote. Hammocks, swings and toys made of seatbelt material are tough enough to stand up to strong, inquisitive and active gorillas and orangutans.
Pallet of Sod The grass grows greener on the other side … of our carnivores. Animals like lions, tigers and giant pandas love tearing apart pieces of turf. Pallets can also be sprayed with interesting scents to encourage natural behaviors.
Radio Telemetry Unit It’s not always a scandal when a celebrity gets put on telemetry. This tracking equipment is essential for Wildlife Theater stars and starlets learning how to make free flights in our Wildlife Theater show.
17" Boomer Ball There’s no jumper seat for a baby giraffe, but we have a better idea. This durable ball can be filled with treats and hung high to keep Lily busy as she uses her tongue to extract the treats.
