These baby gray squirrels are growing up fast and are learning to drink their formula on their own using a puppy lick mat.

Every little step toward independence is a big milestone in wildlife rehabilitation.

Thankful for Ryan who has been disinfecting some enclosures for several years now for me - bleaching and pressure washing everything and making sure they are ready for the next group. He spent a couple of hours working on one enclosure last Wednesday and didn't want his picture taken but agreed to take one with me and my granddaughter. His mom Stephanie is always right there also helping in any way she can🩷

Necco, Alia and Nathalie came over yesterday and took a cage down in the rehab room and replaced it with a different 4x8 for me. Having extra hands helping on small things like these helps me so much. We've known this family for years...homeschool group and scouting.
They brought 4 dozen eggs and a bag full of homemade chocolate chip cookies 🩷
I forgot to get a picture of them 🤦🏼‍♀️

I spent Saturday cleaning several enclosures outside and getting the big 20x25 ready for our coyote pups to move into.

I also added more fresh straw to the enclosure they’re in now and this young pup took full advantage of the beautiful sunny day. He found himself a soft, cozy spot in the fresh straw and settled right in.

These pups are here because they needed help. The goal is always rehabilitation and release. We want these wild animals to grow, learn, develop their natural behaviors and eventually return to where they belong.

Coyotes are an incredibly important part of our ecosystem. They help regulate prey populations, remove sick and injured animals, and play a valuable role in maintaining a healthy balance in nature. They are intelligent and adaptable. They don’t need to be feared or hated, they need to be understood and respected.

Heartbreaking update on the gray fox…

I went to check on him a little while ago and found he had passed sometime after 3am.

We had hoped and prayed he would pull through but sometimes despite everything we do, we lose them. And this part of wildlife rehabilitation never gets easier.

Fly free, sweet boy. You were loved, and you mattered.

Sunday snacks for the beavers

Every Sunday, fresh limbs and branches are brought in for the beavers. These aren’t just snacks though, they’re an important part of their diet and enrichment while they’re in rehab.

Chewing on fresh branches helps satisfy their natural urge to gnaw, keeps their ever-growing teeth worn down, and gives them something to do that feels natural and familiar.

A big thank you to Wes for making sure our beavers always have plenty of fresh “snacks” to enjoy!

An update on the gray fox that arrived this morning…

Dr. Ledet was able to meet at her clinic and give him a full examination. He is keeping his eyes tightly closed which can be a sign of pain/head trauma. His pupils are responsive and thankfully X-rays did not show any broken or fractured bones.

Moving forward, I am treating him for possible tick paralysis since we found quite a few ticks on him. Dr. Ledet also gave him a dexamethasone injection. He has feeling in all of his limbs and is able to swallow his medications, both are encouraging signs. Topical Bravecto was also applied for the ticks.

Overall, his body condition is very healthy. We gave him some fluids, but thankfully he is not severely dehydrated.

For now, he is safe and resting quietly. I have a camera on him recording 24/7 so I can keep a close eye on him without disturbing him.

There are still many unknowns and the next 24 hours will tell us more. We will reassess tomorrow and see if there is any improvement. For now, he needs rest, quiet and time to heal.

Please keep this sweet boy in your prayers

Claire and David found him this morning and rushed to get him here right away. They also made a kind donation of $200.00 to go towards his vet expenses and care🩷
