Raisin Boards
Recycled plastic
board pieces that have small holes are stuffed with raisins or
other treats. Apes
must use browse as tools in order to get treats out.
Supplies (makes 10 boards)-
-
1- 2”x 4” of recycled plastic lumber- 5 feet in length
-
Drill & ¼” drill bit
Instructions:
Have the recycled
plastic lumber cut into 6” length blocks.
For a total of ten blocks. Sometimes recycled plastic
lumber scraps or end pieces are donated by local hardware stores.
Drill a number of
various holes in either side of the block.
DO NOT drill completely through the block!
-Only drill halfway.
It is VERY easy for the apes to get treats out if hole goes
completely through the block.
If you must drill all the way through (for cleanliness)-
use a 1/8” drill bit for a smaller hole.
To
Use:
Stuff holes with
raisins or other treats. Using
a chop stick to push treats in hole works the best.
Give ape entire
block and provide with browse.
