00:00We
00:27share Halloween also with our animals. We treat them with pumpkins that are, depending
00:34on how they like it, stuffed with protein, meats or worms or vegetables.
00:57We like to do things different for our animals, keep them a little bit on edge, interested
01:06and stimulated. So we use the pumpkins as sometimes just wrapping and as a challenge
01:12to get to their food. It's just to stimulate them. And pumpkins are a very natural product
01:18that lots of animals can eat and enjoy eating. It's really good for their learning. So it's
01:36really good for them to get those hunting skills. They have something that they can
01:39grip onto. They can learn to pounce. They learn how to attack things and roll over.
01:44You can kind of see from the footage that they are grabbing them, throwing things, carrying
01:48them around. They're having a good time, they're playing, but play is how they learn those
01:52vital adult skills as they get older.
