To fulfil their digging dreams, the bears have just been given a dedicated digging zone to keep their sharp claws active and their clever minds entertained. This new playground was set up by Balkasar’s carers as part of a cunning plan to stop the adventurous bears from digging under the sanctuary’s fences. Though their natural curiosity was wonderful to witness, safety had to come first for our furry friends.
Now, the bears are loving their new ‘dirt castle’. The mischievous brown bears are especially big fans of the playground. As soon as it was ready, they dove straight in and started digging for any insects they could find. Meanwhile, the calm black bears stood by patiently, watching from afar as their friends went dirt-mad.
Thanks to your help, the bears have lost all interest in tunnelling around the fences and are now embracing their love of digging in a much safer way.
Thank you for giving the rescued bears of Balkasar safe and happy homes, where they can live their best lives in peace.
