Could be feeling the recent cold, or possibly running out of food (give them a liquid feed.)

If leaves are otherwise in good condition then chomp away (flowers aren't bad either, sort of nutty spicy flavour but perhaps not to everyone's taste!)

Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older
