I spend some quality nights outside in Gabriel's enclosure to better bond with him, see what he did at night, how he slept, how he behaved, but then something terrible and concerning happened.

Staff mentioned he might go crazy over bedding and pillows so I was careful in my presentation to him. Well, he got hold of my foam mattress and would not let go. He ended up eating some of it before I was able to remove it from him. I had to use a bucket of water! I was afraid of getting bitten or scratched or I would have just grabbed it, but I knew he would try very hard to keep possession (like I have experienced in other things he's taken from me) so I did not want to cause a fight between us and wait it out. I also did not want pieces ripping from his mouth when I removed it and he swallow it. Well he ended up eating some of it! I was SICK with worry!

I hand fed him some LAXPet to help loosen his stool and then spent the next week watching over him every day and night and checking his poo. He seemed OK and all of the foam passed out, but I was very worried.

Gabriel allowed me to lay next and cuddle with him while I watched over him. I had to sleep on the hard ground with just a tiny pillow because I could not bring in any blankets or sleeping bag or he'd try eating it. It is the BIG reason nothing is allowed left inside these cheetahs enclosures after you leave from a visit. Anything left behind has to be 'cheetah proof'.

I was VERY relieved (so was he ;) when after 7 days monitoring him, he was OK. I checked on his stomach throughout and listen for digestive processes to make sure things were working inside. I was worried about blockage. Observing his overall health, mentality, and behavior.

Thanks for watching!
