Visitors and animal lovers alike will find no tricks, just treats, at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
The keepers at Disney's Animal Nutrition Center are especially busy this time of year as they prep and carve pumpkins for the animals to celebrate Halloween with a themed enrichment experience.
At Animal Kingdom in Orlando, all creatures large and small got to play with, nibble on and even smash pumpkins. In a fun video, a hedgehog could be seen sniffing a pumpkin with a Mickey Mouse-shaped cutout, while a tortoise bites down a mini pumpkin with a spooky carving.

Another moment features elephants picking up the gourds with their nose and placing them in their mouths for a fall snack. A bird pecks on one pumpkin that has two little pumpkins attached to the top of it to make it look like a Mickey Mouse head and ears.

Other animals eat food out of their pumpkin, which is the perfect seasonal treat. Disney World has given their animals pumpkins for enrichment in the past, a fun annual tradition that is equal parts cute, festive and delicious for all.
The enrichment provided to the creatures throughout Disney World is key for "promoting good digestive health and encouraging natural behaviors and instincts in their habitats," a rep for Disney tells PEOPLE.
