Who knew a few recycled materials and some sticks could create so much fun?! 🐾

Our Animal Care students have been busy getting creative and making enrichment activities for the animals on the unit, including our sugar gliders and rats. 🐀

From homemade toys to stimulating challenges, the students put their creativity and animal care skills into practice to help keep our animals happy, active and engaged. 💚
