Ce produit est efficace sur d'autres races de singes, il faut toujours en avoir une boite d'avance. Nous ferons en sorte qu'ils aient ce qu'il faut et votre contact sur Bruxelles qui a participé a l'opération 'tout nu' sera sollicité pour faire transiter le petit colis. Il faut toujours se rappeler que c'est tout une chaine de solidarité européenne qui fonctionne pour tous ces petits orphelins Cela fait plaisir de voir un peu de duvet apparaitre, dans quelques temps , pasa aura le plus beau poil de toute l’équipe.

We unfortunately don't provide sweaters to the youngsters because they stay with the carers that are trained to keep them busy in the open air enclosure of the quarantine area. The keepers also carry them and provide warmth as a mummy chimp would do in the wild... Because these little ones are due to go back to the forrest, we can't 'spoil' them too much with our human comfort... the chilly period is only a few hours a day. Don't think we aren't sensitive people - we only want their immune system to work porperly. Should you still wish to send us a few things, I can give you a postal address to ship your parcel to. Thank you for your interest and thank you for them! Katrine, thank you for joining us and for suggesting to help.

I'll tell more about this as we have visited an area in Katanga where semi-introduction might be possible!!!Seeing CHITA and his group in a forrest would be one of our dreams come true!

It's the sudden differences in temperatures that makes you say it's getting colder: at 7.30 am, you can have 5° Celcius and at 9 a.m. it's already 24°C and during day it is very warm... In the evenings, it is the opposite way. These changes are tough and cause flu. We usually keep the chimps inside their night facilities a bit longer till temperatures are fine outside. We no longer use blankets as the chimps won't have some when back in the wild. Christine, of course if you compare Pasa today and 3 months ago, he still hasn't a lot of hair. But, compared to when he arrived end of February, he now has very small hair growing all over his body and it is getting more and more dense. If you look at the picture where he's climbing a tree and at the one where he's holding the bars of his enclosure, you'll notice that his tummy isn't as naked as before... Thanks again to all of you for reading, and, of course Theresa, I'll update on the other little ones!!! Sheryl, we don’t have heated enclosures: it is not that cold here in the DRC.

He will get even more hair as he starts gaining more strength. Do you have enough blankets and such to keep them warm? I am so amazed at how tiny they are, yet they are resilient. Little fighters, every one of them. Big thanks to you, Roxanne, and Franck. Awwww, such a sweet little one. He will get even more hair as he starts gaining more strength.

I was wondering if you could sweaters on the little ones, like Pasa, as long as they are in the quarantine, Just so they wouldnt be freezing. If so, i would like to send some sweaters to Pasa andhis friends. But looking at the pictures (they are just too adorable btw) it is very hard to judge their size. I have never been up close with a baby chimpanzee before. Pls let me know how i could send a package to J.A.C.K with sweater for Pasa and some other needed things. Best Regards Hello Roxanne,

You can look at his eyes and tell he feels so much better. He has a sparkle there now. Thanks for the update Roxane. I would love to see some updated pictures of Africa, Diane, and Maika too.
