A pygmy hippo which started turning up his snout at food has been given a helping hand to start eating again.
Despite his portly appearance, Chico had stopped feeding and was in danger of losing weight.
In the wild, pygmy hippos can spend up to six hours a day eating, and need to consume one-and-a-half percent of their body weight every day to stay healthy.
'We had been trying everything as Chico was refusing to feed and when I saw the Madagascar hippo puppet in the supermarket I thought I'd give it a try,' Mr Howes said.
'We were extremely surprised when he took a liking to Gloria and we have been using it to feed him ever since.'
