Donations of materials from across college \u2013 particularly from our estates maintenance, horticulture, food, construction and foundation departments \u2013 were combined with further donations from the public and local businesses such as Nantwich Saddlery, and the whole build was supported by our Animal Centre\u2019s dedicated maintenance team.<\/p>\n<p>Students in the Working Group, known as \u2018Timmy\u2019s Team\u2019 in honour of our resident tapir, were involved in the design and sourcing of materials and spent weeks breaking down pallets and cutting the wood to size along with other preparations.<\/p>\n<p>They chose to replicate the mongooses\u2019 habitat in the semi desert scrubland and grasslands of southern Africa and investigated and included enrichment features to encourage natural behaviour such as exploring, foraging and sleeping.<\/p>\n<p>Timmy\u2019s Team was also involved in conditioning and training the mongooses in preparation for their move, using positive reinforcement to get them willingly into their transport crates. The introduction went very smoothly and the lively pair have settled in well.<\/p>\n<p>Bertha has been with us for five years and was originally from Dudley Zoo while Barry joined us three years ago from Curraghs Wildlife Park in the Isle of Man. They are now centre stage in our mini zoo and are ready to welcome public visitors once we reopen.<\/p>\n<p>Course Manager Sean McIntyre, who led the project, explained: \u201cThe students had been studying the illegal wildlife trade and wanted to highlight this in their design, which is based on a deserted poaching outpost. They also wanted to give the mongooses a more desert-like habitat and added pipes, tunnels and crates for their enrichment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was a practical project and I was very impressed with the students\u2019 imaginative ideas, enthusiasm and work ethic which made the enclosure build so successful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Team member Jess Fielding, who will progress onto our Level 3 Diploma in Animal Management in September, said: \u201cWe\u2019ve all looked forward to our building workshops. It\u2019s been good to see the project through from start to finish \u2013 you get a real feeling of satisfaction when you know it\u2019s gone well and that the mongooses are enjoying their new home.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kqtfxbhr-54761a36f243e375e58b1fc7a7ea71fe\">\n#top
