Enrichment Items

Would you like to help the National Aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland? You can help them by donating new enrichment items.
The animals need a diverse and stimulating environment to explore. Simple objects like peanut butter jars and film canisters help the animals practice a wide range of natural behaviors, such as evading predators, foraging for food, and investigating new items that look, smell or feel different. Their toys need to be replaced often as they are used often by the animals.

Types of new items needed include:

• Basketballs
• Boat buoys
• Large squirt guns

• Plastic trashcans with lids
• Small plastic wading pool
• Sprinklers
• Sisal rope
