grizzer – Oct 1, 2007 12:00 AM

Grizzer’s agitation level seems to be correlated with extended periods of holding. While holding the wolves off is a necessary part of working on the facility, we attempt to reduce the large periods of time that the wolves need to be held off. Another key ingredient to keeping the peace, is to have some type of treats scattered around the enclosure when they come out of holding. This is easier said than done when Maya or Shadow don’t go into holding. Staff can’t hide treats with those two following them around and Grizzer gets that much more agitated watching them near the treats.
