7/3/11 Survey Says: NUTS!

Our first Monkeyshines survey asked you:  "What is a monkey's favorite snack?"

Nuts came in first, with 19 votes, but with 15 votes bananas were a close second. Watermelon, lemons, sunflower seeds, and apples were the lowest-rated treats.

I asked Apprentice Caregiver Vicki whether most monkeys would agree with the survey results. She said that NUTS are the absolute favorite, since the monkeys like whacking and cracking them almost as much as eating them. Bananas are yummy, but not as much fun.  Founder Kari Bagnall voted for watermelon, because that's a sure lure when moving tamarins, but she agrees that the monkeys love nuts best. 

Look for our next test of your monkey expertise on the blog next week!

PS: Would you like to give the monkeys a treat? Donate a care package.  They will be thrilled!
