Pumpkin Challenge for the Animals
23. October 2025
All weekend, from Friday 31.10 to Sunday 2.11, we will be running enrichment activities for the animals.
Curious how different animal species respond to an autumn pumpkin as enrichment?
At zoos we work to enrich the animals’ daily lives. This lets them spend their time in an engaging way and encourages natural behaviours such as observation, physical activity (e.g. climbing), exploration and using their senses to find food.
