What do our civets and binturong get?

Your donation can supply Cikananga's civets and binturong with up to one week’s worth of seasonal fruit and vegetables. And of course, we make sure all the animals will get their favourite food items!  For Pepper, this means watermelon, apples and bananas. As an elderly lady, Pepper the binturong particularly enjoys the soft sweetness of bananas the best- she’s far too mature to be bothered with the challenge of more “difficult to get into” fruits.

Oreo, on the other hand, is the wild child! She likes nothing more than the scaly snake fruit, a fruit that grows at the base of a short, spiny palm tree. The scales make getting into the soft flesh the ideal challenge for Oreo, who we hope will be a suitable candidate for future wild release. By feeding her wild fruits, Oreo learns which fruits are safe to eat.

And then we have Novi, whose favourite treat is the jack fruit. With its strong and distinct odour, the jackfruit is the obvious choice for our Novi. As our blind resident, Novi must rely on her sense of smell to locate her favourite meal, and we must say that she is very good at it!
