#CheetahCubdate 18: Cheetah Chew Toys

three cheetahs surround a "chew toy" made of woven recycled firehose

At 9 months old, Rosalie's cubs are teething! Their adult teeth are coming in and chew toys are a great form of enrichment. While Rosalie’s cubs still may have a little of their cubby fur left, their adult teeth are sharp! As you can see in the video, woven pieces of recycled fire hoses make for great chew toys.

Keeper Amber Dedrick captured this toothy moment on her cell phone camera.
