At Cosley Zoo
Pumpkins get used as enrichment for deer, cranes, raccoon, fox, coyote, lynx and many of the domestics.
The songbirds can get some as part of their diet and will also sometimes get some seeds.
The gourds and mini pumpkins can be given to reptiles and some of our other ambassador animals as enrichment for texture and smell.
They can be carved and used as temporary places to hide
as well.
