(1 customer review)

Many wild animals in human care live longer than their wild counterparts because of modern care and wellbeing programs, leading to a growing demographic of ageing animals. Optimal Wellbeing of Ageing Wild Animals in Human Care is dedicated to their care. As an innovative expert publication, it integrates all aspects of professional care, including topics such as behaviour, ethics, environmental enrichment, training, veterinary care, nutrition and habitat design. Each animal is unique in their preferences, physical and emotional needs. Ageing animals may change their behaviour, alter the use space, and may also experience events and their relationships with their carers differently than they used to. The ageing process and death of an individual can be a significant event for others in their group, as well as the human carers. This ebook consolidates best practices for supporting and assessing optimal ageing animal wellbeing.

This book is very thoughtfully written. It is clear the authors are very compassionate and knowledgeable. Pulls so many topics together. I really enjoyed the book and I’m finding it so insightful and informative. It’s a valuable resource to anyone working with wild or captive animals
