Pumpkin the capybara is quite food morivated if you couldn’t tell! She likes to learn things, and teaching her different behaviors is great mental stimultion for her! #capybaras #capybara #capybarasforever #capybaralove #cuteanimals #wildlife #animals #animallover #funnyanimals | Dark Wings Wildlife & Education

Cheesecake the capybara might be a little bit stubborn… and squirrely 😂 The process of training a behavior like standing on a scale seems simple, but it really depends on the animal you’re working with! Pumpkin has successfully stood on the scale, meanwhile Cheesecake has stalled on getting her front two feet on the scale 😂 The best way to train something like this is to use her favorite foods (like corn) and let her make progress at her own pace. #capybara #capybaras #animaltraining #animalbe

Pumpkin the capybara can’t resist a good session of scratchies! Even snacks get put on hold! You might know that rodents’ teeth never stop growing. But did you know capybaras primarily grind their teeth down through grazing? Grass is very abrasive, and works effectively to wear down teeth. However, they doesn’t mean Pumpkin doesn’t chew on pretty much anything she can get her teeth on!She is the world’s largest rodent after all! #capybara #capybaras #rodent #rodents #animal #animals #didyouknow
