We're just preparing the juvenile primate
monkey milk at the moment. I'm using Isomil One because of one of our babies is actually
lactose intolerant so they can't have the regular mix. I've also got to keep count of my scoops.
You can see that we actually go through at least a tin and a half to two tins
almost every single day as well because we have so many primates, babies especially,
and it is one of our largest departments, so to make sure that we've always got a nice supply of
monkey milk as well is essential. I'm just going to distribute it out. With the tiny baby monkeys
we do give them two bowls just because there's so many of them, and it just makes sure that some of
the smaller ones do get milk and that they don't fight and cause trouble between them.
Then, in an alternative cage we do have a couple of young males that will form part of the same
troop, but they don't need so much because they are almost old enough to be weaned off by now.
At the minute there are 17 of these monkeys in here, so we do check just by counting every
time we come in, it makes much easier when we do the feeds because they all come down.
