Description

Every morning as I set up the cages for the days foraging, I try to use both permanent and non-permanent containers. I use the barrel of monkeys once a week or so. Throw a little food in with the monkeys and your good to go. Eli has to remove every single monkey before eating anything out of the barrel. He acts a bit indignant about it. :) Sippy cups are wonderful. The more you have, the longer it will take to find all the food and that is a good thing. I am not sure if the new ones come without the screw-on lids. I've been picking them up at yard sales for 25 to 50 cents each.
