White-Cheeked Gibbon Dies at Smithsonian’s National Zoo
https://nationalzoo.si.edu/news/white-cheeked...tional-zoo
Sydney was diagnosed with hypoglycemia in August 2018. Since that time, animal care staff had been closely managing his condition by providing a specialized diet, administering medications via one of his favorite foods, banana, and monitoring his blood glucose level. To measure Sydney’s blood glucose levels throughout the day, primate staff trained him to use a glucometer. On the keepers’ cue, Sydney would present his foot, and they would take a quick prick of his toe with a diabetic lancet. For his voluntary participation, Sydney received quartered grape pieces as a reward. The glucometer measurements gave staff valuable information about his blood glucose levels throughout the day, allowing them to adjust his diet and medications as needed.
Btw, how is the licensing with fetch4pets doing?
