that come with it!
Jump into Spring with our resident bobcat Tucker
Tucker is doing very well and loves to watch the seasons change. His favourite Spring activity is to chase after bouncing tennis balls and pounce from behind his hiding spots to catch them.
As well as his behaviour, Tucker’s coat is mimicking the changing of the seasons. It is turning to a beautiful burnt orange just in time for the upcoming summer months.
He has been getting lots of attention from his caretakers, who recently purchased a new PVC tunnel for him. This gives him more privacy and prompts him to play.
It is imperative that Tucker’s enclosure be switched up often. This encourages natural behaviours and gives him a change of scenery, which is extremely important for all captive wildlife.
Some other ways we support Tucker’s natural behaviours are to scatter feed, encourage predator/prey play with toys, and add lots of new items like trees/food/toys to his enclosure. Soon, it will be warm enough for our beloved bobcat to get his pool back so he can start fishing again.
