2026-2027 ENRICHMENT ITEMS

This holiday season, the JZKeepers are desiring the following items as additional or replacement units for regular enrichment. These are not required by the USDA, ZAA, or AZA for standard animal care, but are highly encouraged to make daily routines more interesting for the animals. Each item has been researched for fun, safety, longevity, and cost effectiveness and then approved by Zoo leadership. Items can be shipped to JZKeepers, 2918 West Capitol Street, Jackson MS 39209 as gifts. Please note that prices do not include shipping unless indicated. For more expensive items (the bigger the animal, the bigger and heavier the toy!), we have also included links for gift cards from the manufacturers.

We want to thank each and every one of our previous, current, and future supporters for everything they have given to our animals and our efforts. We love what we do, and we could not do it as well without YOU.

Gift Cards

How can you help the JZKeepers throughout the year?

Now when you buy cool – and often very funny – clothing and accessories from Animal Anonymous Apparel, 10% of the proceeds from your purchase come back to the JZKeepers for the animal care fund! Click the link (above) or the image (left) to see the awesome ways you can help support conservation and the JZ animals!

Donate straight to the JZKeepers in any amount to help them with daily, weekly, or monthly enrichment supplies. You can even set up a recurring monthly sponsorship. (You can use your PayPal account or donate as a guest with debit/credit.)

Purchase items chosen specifically for our animals or needs from our LIST. They will be shipped directly to our zoo.

Sometimes the projects are so big, it’s easier for many to donate in smaller amounts to reach the goal. You can help with the big projects by donating e-gift cards from Amazon, or even GiftCards.com.
