Very late update. These pictures were taken a couple of weeks ago. Keegan is doing really well, just in case facebook wanted a update…. the baby is now just over 5 months old and he is very much learning bad habits already… (putting hands up keepers noses ). He is also very independent until he wants to annoy the boys and then he likes hitching a ride on their backs😂😂😂

Not snow yet but shredded paper is a fair substitute for now

Lemur enrichment. We have been asked by many of you kind-hearted and thoughtful followers of our page about ways that you might be able to help HZG during these difficult times. The pandemic has hit us all hard and with the latest lockdown in place, along with the previous lockdowns, it has left us in need of some vital items. We have put together a wish list that will benefit our animals and their keepers. Every item gifted to us is very much appreciated. A huge thank you for all your generosity and support so far. We can get through this with your help. Thank you once again. We look forward to putting these items to good use. https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/1H6D8DRSZDI8A?ref_=wl_share
