Dura-Toys™ for Animal Enrichment

Animal care professionals are constantly challenged to improve the lives and environments for the animals under their care. Animals’ natural habitats are continually changing as they encounter other animals, plants, food, and diverse landscapes. Captive animals are in the same environment everyday.

Animal caretakers strive to ensure humane treatment and a high quality of life for captive animals. They must understand how animals interact with their environment and with each other, how behavioral learning is accomplished, how their bodies work and why, and what is essential to their survival. The challenge is to create procedures to keep the animals interested and interacting with their environment.

Dura-Cast has created a line of animal enrichment products, Dura-Toys, that will help expand the life of captive animals and provide them a safe and interesting environment. Dura-Toys were developed to provide stimulation, exercise, and a healthy outlet for aggression. As a result, the animals are happier, better exercised, and more contented.
