🐊Welcome to Wild About Wednesdays! 🐊
Here at Feral Auntie’s Reptile Rescue, our goal is to always educate, inform, and inspire others to learn more about the reptiles that are available for adoption.
🐊Wild About Wednesdays🐊 will be a weekly post where we will highlight an interesting fun fact, a reptile spotlight, or habitat and enclosure tips and tricks!
Whether you’re a longtime reptile enthusiast, a curious beginner, or just someone who just loves animals, join us as we take on a wild adventure of discovery and education about reptiles!🐍🐢🦎🐉
Fun Fact of the Week:
Did you know the average reptile veterinarian visit costs over $140???
A vet office visit can cost around $85 🥼
A life-saving medication can cost upwards of $35 or more 💊
Transportation to and from the vet to ensure the care possible for these precious animals can cost as much as $25 for a one-way transfer 🚙
Each of our rescues deserves a bright and healthy future, no matter their past circumstances or their current conditions. When choosing a forever BFF from Feral Auntie’s Reptile Rescue, please consider ALL costs that come along with rescuing a reptile companion, including food, habitat/enclosure materials, and perhaps a vet visit to make sure your scaly friend has everything they need in order live their best life.
Often non-profit animal rescues/shelters, for feathered, furred, or scaled friends, veterinarian costs are solely funded by public donations, or are paid from adoption fees. Each time a loving pet needs veterinary care, the shelter/rescue will often have to provide the funds directly the veterinary provider at the time of service. This makes less funds available for habitat enrichment, expo equipment, or future education programs, making your donations just that more important to the animals receiving lifesaving care.
Want to start helping today? 🧐⛑️
Consider getting involved in your community with attending local reptile expos, connect with local pet stores to raise awareness about rescues, or make a small donation to your favorite nonprofit reptile rescue. Even small donations of supplies or food can help make one of our residents live a more comfortable and happy life. 🏡❤️
