    Hello world
    So I am trying to find polls which are flexible/moveable for our chimps!
    Our young girl Age 6 is having the time of her life destroying her huge exhibit and is snapping the branches of the trees. As we have just introduced two new females to the troop.
    She tends to like the feeling of the "bendy bendy" before they brake. We have 8 adult chimps in with her so they have to be ape proof Melbourne Zoo has fake bamboo polls but am told they are not very flexible.
    Looking for polls going into earth which have a bounce to them.
    If anyone has ideas or has them photos would be amazing.

    I’m guessing you work at Monarto?

    There’s a couple of zoo professionals on this site but for the most part we are your fan base, rather than your peers. I’m not sure where you’d best be able to find zoo keeper communities - perhaps look for Facebook groups?
