Excellent article on enrichment, roadmap included!! “Enrichment should be daily and incorporates both infrastructural (which is more permanent) environmental enrichment, such as climbing frames, substrates, water (pools), scratching posts, social opportunities, and daily behavioural enrichment, such as scatter feeding, puzzle feeders, novel toys, olfactory challenges etc. Both enrichment approaches must be to encourage goal orientated behaviours. These behaviours are usually rewarding and positive and animals have evolved to need to carry them out. For example, multiple climbing platforms in a binturong enclosure, provides choice and satisfies their arboreal behavioural need. Scatter feeding or hiding food in rotten logs for sun bears, satisfies both the digging and foraging behavioural need and meets physiologically evolved behaviours which utilises their strong powerful front paws and sharp claws.”

Today, our Key Stage Four learners engaged in a thought-provoking discussion: "Is it the prevention of escape and physical barriers that make stress present in animals, or are there other factors?" We explored the fight and flight response, acute and chronic stress, and the long-term impact of stress on animal health. This kind of critical thinking is vital for learners, as it not only deepens their understanding of animal behavior and welfare but also equips them with skills to assess and improve animal care in real-world contexts. Understanding these concepts helps students recognise how environment, management, and human interactions influence animal well-being, shaping them into compassionate and knowledgeable future professionals. They did a fabulous job!! #AnimalWelfare #EducationMatters #FutureProfessionals #AnimalCare #StressManagement #CriticalThinking #AnimalBehavior #KS4Learning #StudentSuccess
