Providing rolling objects to three-banded armadillos like Roswell serves as physical and sensory enrichment. In the wild, rolling into a tight ball is an involuntary defensive response triggered by potential threats. In managed care, eliciting that anatomical behavior during play exercises the dorsal musculature and keeps inter-band connective tissue limber. When the moving apple crosses his path, Roswell does not attempt to bite or pin the target with his claws; his forward momentum naturally converts into a rapid tuck, capturing the rolling object inside his abdominal cavity.
