How far does your dollar go at Zoo Brew presented by Veridian Credit Union? πŸ’ŒπŸ» This fundraiser supports even the oldest of residents at the Zoo! The story of Barnaby the Aldabra tortoise is one of many chapters.

Last year animal care staff noticed Barnaby was having trouble moving around his habitat. Our veterinary staff examined Barnaby and, through tedious repetitive exams using both ultrasound and x-ray, identified a unique abnormality in his shoulder that causes his joint to dislocate while moving. Our zookeepers worked extensively with our veterinary staff and the maintenance team, to help provide Barnaby with excellent, lasting care. Alongside a one-of-a-kind, tortoise-friendly, custom scooter, Barnaby's treatment included daily physical and laser therapy.

Once the scooter (designed, created and modified by zoo staff to keep weight off his shoulder) was removed, Barnaby rejoined the tortoises in their outdoor habitat. Barnaby continues to get laser and physical therapy in the yard to help keep his muscles strong.

Come on out and visit Barnaby and all the other animals at Zoo Brew presented by Veridian Credit Union this Wednesday from 6:00 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. (last entry is at 8:30 p.m.) and feel good knowing your brew is supporting all the animals of Blank Park Zoo 🍻
