Foxie frequently rubs her toes together. I don’t think we’ve shared any video of this on the blog before. It is one of Foxie’s many endearing habits.

I think it’s a sign of her contentment. She is such a beautiful chimp. I love looking at their feet and Foxie likes to use her feet as much as her hands. I just love her!
I love her feet. She is self soothing and caressing herself. Makes me love her all the more.
It’s always her left foot too.
That is so sweet! Sort of like a baby that’s content while drinking a bottle and twirling their hair. CSNW has made all the chimps verrrrrrrrrry happy!!
Linda, I love your comment about being content. As soon as I read it I said to myself ” Yea, that is it!” Foxie, you are adorable no matter what you do!! I could watch you for hours.
Am I just missing where it is or do you all post who wrote and posted the photos?
Happy Feet!!!
