The following non-compliances with cleaning of enclosures were identified on this inspection. 1) The 5 enclosures housing the 11 Prevost squirrels in the Tamarin building had excessive debris and grime caked on the wire mesh walls of the enclosures and on all surfaces including perches and nest boxes and do not appear to have been cleaned in a long while. 2) The enclosure housing 4 flying squirrels in the mouse house building had excessive debris accumulating on the wire mesh walls and dirty hay on the floor. Debris and cobwebs are accumulating under the enclosure in the catch pan. This enclosure does not appear to have been cleaned in a long while. Bacteria and fungus may grow in the excessive debris and grime and cause the animals to become ill. The enclosures must be cleaned to minimize disease hazards. Correct both items by 24 January 2015
