I cannot say that this happens all the time...but it does happen. Now we are able to leave the animal alone and monitor with the cameras. As far as enhancing enrichment, it allows the animal to focus on its enrichment and not on us. Bob Miranda,

Do you have any examples of things that you were able to improve after viewing the animals via monitor? For instance, how have you been able to improve enrichment, which is so vitally important for the mental well being as well as physical wellness of animals? Keep up the good work!

What is interesting to note is that each of us who use the cameras are utilizing them in different ways. It's just a reminder that we are truly living in the 21st Century! Who would have thought of this 20 or 30 years ago? Bob Debra,
