Dodger is a marmoset monkey who had lost nearly half of his body weight and was having trouble negociating his habitat. We eventually had to take him into our clinic and we have been caring for him there. To learn more about Dodger, go to our Monkeyshines Blog or the Jungle Friends website.
Watch how Dodger is improving and fighting so he can go back to scratching interns and apprentices with Isabelle. He's starting off by attacking the mealworms!
