📣 We interrupt your newsfeed with this important announcement... TINY MONGOOSE TRIPLETS 😍😍😍 | Chester Zoo

Dwarf mongoose Cupcake is reaching for the stars! In the wild, mongooses spend much of their day foraging. To encourage Cupcake to use this natural behavior, keepers hung a multi-layered puzzle feeder in the exhibit. She must problem solve to get the tasty grapes and meal worms hidden inside! Every day at 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m., chat with Small Mammal House keepers and make new animal friends.
