Thanks to our wonderful supporters, like yourself, our rescued lions, tigers, horses, pigs and others have been in fun paradise at the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary with pumpkins, hay bale castles and catnip scarecrows and we will be able to keep the fun going this month.

Our sanctuary has large natural habitats, but the animals still love playing with and investigating new things. Our enrichment includes boxes of hay and catnip, catnip punchbags, watermelons, coffee sacks stuffed with hay and catnip, ice lollies, and at this time of year pumpkins! As the picture of Smith in full flight below shows this enrichment is vital for physical and mental stimulation and pure fun.

Reactions vary, there’s Mahla’s 100mph pumpkin dash; the manic play of the Spice Girls (Jade, Luna, Sun and Moon); Kimba trying to work out how to carry two pumpkins in his mouth, while brother Tomas wanders off; Muheeb grappling; to Tarzan and Tanya who really do only have eyes for each other and are rarely distracted by anything!
