Here is what I do at BW when it’s a rainy day!

1) Feed and spot clean Zoma the Gentle Lemur. He gets his pellets in the morning and fruit in the evening. Spot cleaning consisted of picking up poo and damp substrate, replacing water and doing visual health check.

5) Feed Asian Short Clawed Otters. They normally get fish thrown into their pond, but we ran out of fish, so they had small mice as a treat.

During this, I had a 20 minute break and a 40 minute lunch. It was a pretty miserable day and must of the animals were inside
