RE: Todays highlights of a Zookeeper and What's so good about Reindeer anyway?

Oh yes, we check on them daily. We gently squeeze their feet to ensure they respond to us then we will open and close the fridge door repeatedly to allow oxygen to circulate. Then each week we will health check make sure their eyes nose and cloaca is clear otherwise we will remove them slowly from hibernation. Each time we check them we have to do it quickly and the temp will go up in the fridge but not enough to cause problems fortunately! We ensure the fridge is at a constant temp during the 6 weeks preparation so we take daily temp readings morning and night also! It’s a very interesting process I will say!
