Support Our Animals
We’re often asked, “Can I purchase items for the animals at Electric City Aquarium?”. The short answer is yes, but honestly the best way to support us and our animals is simply by visiting and sharing your experience with others. As a privately owned facility, we’re fully supported by admissions and gift shop purchases, and every visit truly makes a difference. Our animals serve as ambassadors for their wild counterparts, giving our community a unique opportunity to learn about and connect with the incredible diversity of life on our planet.
For those who are looking for another way to contribute and be part of their care and enrichment, we’ve created optional Amazon wish lists for different animal groups in our care. These lists include carefully selected items that are safe, appropriate, and beneficial for enrichment and daily care.
There is absolutely no expectation to purchase anything but if you choose to, you can feel confident knowing your gift directly supports the well-being of our animals.
Enrichment plays an important role in animal care. It encourages natural behaviors like exploring, hunting, foraging, and problem solving, while also providing mental stimulation.
Reptiles
The many different forms reptiles come in can require very different enrichment needs! Whether it is creating naturalistic additions to their habitats, food dispensers, or even enrichment balls our reptiles will make the most of your gifts!
Mammals
Whether inquisitive kinkajous or the slowest of sloths, our mammals can be provided some of the most complex enrichment items. Puzzles, activity boards, and swings challenge their minds and the dexterous hands.
Aquatic Animals
Some of our guests are surprised to learn we offer enrichment to our aquatic animals, while providing enrichment under the water can pose its challenges, it can be some of the most rewarding enrichment to observe.
Primates
Primates are highly intelligent and thrive on enrichment that challenges their minds. These items encourage problem-solving, foraging, and play. helping keep them engaged and stimulated throughout the day.
Birds
From bills to beaks, enriching avians is no small task. Birds are inquisitive and require enrichment that they can destroy using their powerful beaks allowing them to simulate natural behaviors. From blocks, bells, and beyond help us enrich our feathered friends.
