When all the eggs are cracked and nobody wants to buy them, the crazy lizard lady says their perfect and turns 2 dozen broken eggs into lots of lizard frittata bites packed with greens, egg shell, and vitamins. 💚

*These are for our Blue Tongue Skinks and Tegus. They are a supplement to other items in their diet which include things like organ meat, frozen/thawed mice and chicks, shrimp, fish, insects, and Reptilinks.

While completing our outdoor work we came across lots of native critters like this toad, jumping spider, and resident black snake known as Banner. Banner was safely moved from his basking spot on our neighbor's trailer back to our yard (he lives under our shed) so our neighbor could go to the store.

Today's beautiful weather was perfect for cleaning up the yard and outdoor pens and moving the tortoises outside!

The look of a cozy, happy, senior piggie. 💚 This lovely lady, Snickers, has been with us for nearly 3 years as a sanctuary resident. We love that she feels confident and cozy enough to relax while we are working in the basement.

*Please note that our small mammals rescue program closed in October 2025. While we still have our Sanctuary friends and Animal Ambassadors, we are not taking in small mammals.
