The new life of rescued bears

Zabedee, Mara and 160 other bears were rescued from bile farms in Vietnam and got the chance of a new life at the Tam Dao Bear Sanctuary in Vietnam.
Spread over an area of 12 hectares, the sanctuary has over 10,000 square metres of seminatural outdoor enclosure space designed to stimulate the bears’ natural behaviour. So the food in the Bear Sanctuary is spread around outside enclosure to encourage bears foraging instincts and to keep them busy and stimulated throught the day. In the wild they spend even 12 hours a day foraging for food.
Many of rescued bears have health problems.That’s why they need to get some medicines.
Bears are very food motivated. The tablets are hidden in banana pieces and they are given to the bears with a spoon and they get some honey at the end. They are also weighted on regular basis.
