09:51 Conclusion Gabriel Plays Hand Feeding Is Good

I'm a big fan of interactive care for the animals I'm responsible for. It's added risk, but overall safer when something goes wrong (an opened gate for instance). It is far less likely that something bad happens when the animals in your care are calm around people; especially when feeding.

It's best to start young in hand feeding, but Abi show that old cats can learn to be nice too. Hand feeding earns trust from the animals that allow it. Hunger is one of the top three instincts where an animal will become violent protecting it. When you earn that trust, it helps overall with that relationship with that animal. Thus I hand feed. There will be others who care for my animals and with them calmer around feeding, it help s in the overall temperament of these predators who meet new people. They learn that most all folks are not after their food and can be trusted. THEN you can progress to things like checking on health.

I don't hand fed all the time, but enough that it reinforces the trust between us and others. With a predator allowing hand feeding, you can also make SURE they take required or needed meds and supplements. Then you can progress to enrichment things like I did at the end of this video where I test whether my cheetahs will eat a hard boiled egg! They eat chicken... so why not an Egg?

Thanks for watching!
