Firehose is the perfect material for Nicki!😺 It is strong enough to withstand his sharp claws but still offers him a comfy bed to relax on!

It was recently nail trim day!💅

All six of our sugar gliders need their nails trimmed regularly so they are able to climb in and out of their fleece pouches and glide around their enclosure.

Pictured is Poppy, our smallest sugar glider who weighs in at 73 grams! You can meet Poppy on a Cute, Cuddly, and Scaly encounter!

Happy #sugarglider Saturday from our two new additions - Zelda & Violet! ☺️🐛 These two were rehomed to us earlier this summer and are loving their new home. Violet is more outgoing than her mom Zelda, but both love to get special treats like these mealworms and are slowly coming out of their shell! #sugarglider #marsupial #saturday #awa #aikman #wildlife #adventure #zelda #violet

Watch Penelope figure out her enrichment! 🦜🥜 Macaws are intelligent birds and need enrichment regularly. This helps prevent boredom and stimulates various behaviors for our birds. Hiding Penelope’s treat in puzzle feeders is one of her favorite enrichments! #enrichment #macaw #penelope #blueandgold #parrot #macawsofinstagram #puzzle #zoo #awa #aikman #wildlife

Our baby camels are staying cool with popsicles and a good roll in the mud puddle! 🍧🐪😎 Visit us on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays this summer! #camels #millie #summer #popsicle #animals #awa #aikman #wildlife #adventure #zoo
