-Identify a problem

My problem for my animal is that they get bored from finding their food just being there so they need a creatve way of getting their food.
 * (4/11 Why is this a problem Abbey? Is it because you are taking them away from their natural environment which has plenty of things for them to open and putting them into captivity which naturally does not have these things? If this is correct, you need to reword the problem. Be sure to make it clear that the problem is because you are removing it from its natural environment and then be specific about how it will be affected. Mrs B) **

-Identify a solution

My idea is that i would make a mobile of containers and full them up with food to keep them busy because in the wild they dont even get some fun out of finding their food its already in front of them.   Facts about spider monkeys  > > > The materials that i will use will include.......
