Japanese White Bellied Squirrel Enclosure

At Wingz Bird Sanctuary

Nice to see enrichment features such as the length of plastic piping.You can never give too much enrichment to squirrels - one of the most active, intelligent & inquisitive of animals in existence, possibly surpassing many smaller primates.

A nice species and a welcome addition to the British zoo scene for sure.

By definition, doesn't a cage have to contain birds to be called an "aviary"? If an enclosure contains mammals then isn't it just a "cage"?

Yes they are a nice species and all three are very active and easy to watch for ages. Hopefully with the new male they should breed over the next few years.

Sorry my mistake.
