Shelby’s bedtime vs Daylight saving’s. The poor guy marched himself to his bed at 4:46 pm today, not understanding that it is 4:46 pm… according to his watch, it’s 5:46 pm and his bedtime. He was so tired that he didn’t even make it fully into his house.

Each night we do a nighttime check on every animal here. We do not keep the 9-5 jobs over here. Caring for animals is a full time commitment, no matter the weather; your bank balance or daylight savings.

Frankie says: this is how you get your day started. A healthy breakfast. Then for lunch I will graze on grass and for late afternoon snackie. I will get cucumber. Hear him snack!!

For anyone that is willing to donate to his produce funds, here is our Venmo. Between the tortoises and the porcupines. We go through almost 7 lbs/day.

Looking for a gently used shed. 8x12. Must have 1 door; 2 windows and floors. We will be utilizing it as an overwinter area for the animals.

Alex waking up after a quick health check; assessment of his leg injury and tagging/chipping him. There was just no other way to look at his leg than to dart him. We took the opportunity to also tag and chip him.

We were asked to add our Venmo: we are a recognized non-profit. Please reach out if you need a tax receipt.

**for those that are already sending me upset messages: he is NOT whitetail, so the game warden has no need to be ‘made aware’…. I did the darting on my own property.

Sprout is at it again ❤️. He is such a little love. Now… he doesn’t take any prisoners when it comes to his snack in the morning.

They are HERE!
We have waited almost a year to get these for our bottle babies. What are they, you ask? Silicon teats. For the marsupials; fawns and raccoons.

Sprout ❤️❤️❤️. This young man was released 6 months ago. Each day he comes for his pecan. It’s beautiful to see just how fluffy his tail has become. He rules the yard.
He came to us as an orphan. About 1 week old; no fur; eyes closed. Look at him now❤️.

** Update - he walked exactly 6 feet before I noticed that he was awake and taking his blankets for a stroll. Not to worry: I took those off immediately so to not have them wedge anywhere. He does not normally sleep in blankets. His normal setup is his house w hay and heat when it’s cold, and no, we do not use headlamps. Those are not good for them.

Frankie… had a raging party yesterday and couldn’t make it back to his house before nightfall. 😂😩😉🤔😘🫣.

Since it was below 60 F last night here, 47F to be exact, I gave him a few fuzzy covers to keep him warm. This is him this am walking around the yard in his fuzzy blankets!!!

Hey, when it’s cold outside, there will be no judgement on walking outside after 8am still with your pjs on.

And just like that we are at 4!
The boys were found in a car engine and it was simply not possible to reunite them with mamma.
The kind men at the car mechanic shop called and drove to us with this precious cargo.

It is important to note that all wildlife are 1st assessed for their hydration level and NEVER fed until they are fully hydrated. Wildlife cannot metabolize domestic pet formula.
Please reach out to a permitted wildlife rehabber if you find any injured or orphaned wildlife. They need specialized care that we train for. We specifically order formula, per individual specie.
