We are now instituting two ways for you to help our girls maintain proper nutrition: 1. you may use the underwriting link above to fund our produce account, or 2., you may call the office and order specific items for one or two or all of the girls!
Our girls regularly eat the following foods: carrots, cabbage, broccoli, corn, russet potatoes, bananas, banana leaves, oranges, red apples, yellow onions, watermelon, red grapes, cantaloupe, and, once in a while, sugar cane. Obviously, some of these items are easier to get “in season.”
TO ORDER SOMETHING SPECIFIC: please call the office Produce Department and speak to Ellen (931.796.6500 Ext 3#)and she will be happy to take your order, confer with you on the girls favorite foods, and give you up to the minute information on produce costs and what is in season.
We are grateful to you for wanting to participate in the girl’s daily lives. Please know that when you order something specific for one of the girls we make every attempt to carry out your wishes, however, due to the time constraints of caring for 17 elephants, we are unable to take photographs commemorating the moment they eat your special treat. Take our word for it, the girls are delighted!!!!
$50.00 underwritten June 2009. $100.00 underwritten June 2009. $100.00 underwritten June 2009.Cosequin Equine Powder - Pkg. 1400 gram - URGENT NEED!!! [$109.06 Ea]-It is true that preventative medicine can go a long way to insuring our girls long term wellness. That is why all of our elephants receive Cosequin daily. Recent studies indicate that joint deterioration, as well as the accompanied debilitating pain and inflammation, can be prevented if addressed early. By supplementing the elephants with Cosequin before they show signs of a problem we can help to increase their chances of not developing the condition. As the elephants age, their risk of joint inflammation and deterioration increases. By providing Cosequin now, their joints have a better chance of staying healthy. This preventive measure just might stop the onset of the crippling inflammation and joint deterioration that plagues so many elephants kept in captivity.
