Infant Sibu Jr needs help on his first birthday!

On Thursday 31st July, orphan Bornean orang-utan Sibu Jr had his first birthday at Dorset primate rescue centre, Monkey World! His wild cousins would have spent this birthday firmly attached to their mothers, but Sibu Jr was born at Dublin Zoo and tragically his mother did not allow him to suckle, so he had to be hand-reared to save his life. He was moved to the specialist orang-utan creche at Monkey World - Ape Rescue Centre in Dorset, who have experience in caring for vulnerable infants, and a nursery designed specifically to meet growing orang-utans needs. Monkey World collected the infant when he was just 12 weeks old and moved him to the sanctuary under the care of experienced staff. On his first birthday, Sibu Jr spent the day enjoying extra treats, toys and playing with his adoptive sister, 19-month-old Kiwi, who was also rejected by her mother in a zoo in Spain. Despite the duo’s increasing independence, keepers need to give milk feeds several times a day. In the wild, orang-utans would suckle until around four years old. Sibu Jr unfortunately is intolerant to the more usual cows milk formula, and the Monkey World team have found he can only have a hypoallergenic milk formula, Neocate Junior Unflavoured. All others make him unwell, and do not give the right level of nutrients. This is an expensive milk powder, so Monkey World are appealing to their supporters for any help in funding the baby’s milk, to celebrate the endangered primate’s birthday! If you'd like to help, the Neocate Junior unflavoured is listed on the Amazon wishlist (https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/...) or it can be sent to us direct at "Sibu's Milk Appeal c/o Monkey World, Longthorns, Wareham, Dorset BH20 6HH"
