2	Enrichment Tracking Form 2021
3	By Kyle Banton-Jones, Wild Enrichment	Grades:
4		1- Negative Interaction
5	How to Use:	2- No Interaction
6		3- Some Interaction
7	This form can be used to track the daily enrichment given to an animal or a group of animals sharing an enclosure.	4- Prolonged Interaction
8	There are 2 main tabs, Daily and Overview.	5- Natural Behaviour, Prolonged interaction
9	The daily tab will take you to the daily tracking sheeet where you can write down the enrichment that an animal is being given every day. To use this sheet, write down all the enrichment that you give the animal on a daily basis. Once you have all of the enrichment written down, you can then divide them into type of enrichment, for the purposes of this form, those categories are Tactile (inanimate objects that the animal interacts with) Cognitive (objects and puzzles that require the animal to think to use them), Sensory (scents, sounds) and Novel food items (food items that are not offered to the animal on a daily basis). You can then write this enrichment in the Daily chart, replacing the "Example Enrichment" headings.
10	Once you hav written in all of the enrichment in the chart you can now start recording your daily enrichment by writing a Grade between 1-5 (as seen above) under the enrichment item given and the date is was given on. This not only records that you gave that enrichment item, but also how effective the enrichment item was.
11	Another three columns you will notice are "Other", "% Free food" and "Notes".
12	Other, is for enrichment that isnt in the normal daily roster, but needs to be recorded anyways.
13	% Free food is for the total amount of food that the animal got for "free" as in they did not have to work for it. This is useful when working on contrafreeloading.
14	Notes is just a column for any observations or anything you think your coworkers should know about the enrichment given that day.
15	Next, is the Overview tab, this will take the useful information from the daily chart and present it in a format that is easy to digest and useful. It will give you an idea of what enrichment types you are focusing on, the average rating each category is getting and the total amount of free food that animal recived.
16	Adding and removing columns in the daily chart may affect some of the equations and data on the overview tab, so make sure you adjust those accordingly.
17	The evaluation tab has some documents you may find useeful to evaluate the enrichment you are providing.
