This is a baby vole which is not a mole or a shrew or a mouse or a groundhog. I don't think anyone has once correctly identified a baby vole prior to intake which always amuses me. It's cute and chubby and had a short little tail though and is about the size of a baby mouse.

Alas, I actually told the universe I wasn't ready for my next round of baby rodents until Thursday at 4 PM so this one is a tiny bit early and I haven't made fresh formula yet. Good thing I have a bit left in the freezer so this baby will just have to deal with some freezer meals until I get to the store.

I have like nothing interesting to post today so I thought I'd post the funniest picture I had been sent lately asking if this bunny is alright. A lot of pictures that get sent to me are super gross wounds, already dead or dying things, or p**p, but this one is just balls. I guess we might have to make a thing.

Here's a not great video of Kate being Kate. It turns out shrew noses wiggle like basically constantly which makes it nearly impossible to get a non-blurry picture of a shrew. Jason has a better video of her but I think he's doing something useful like taking a shower after untoppling the mini skidsteer that fell over on a hill in the mud after accidentally digging up the skinks. I swear there has never been a single project here that didn't go sideways in weird and unexpected ways.

Anyway, Kate is still good. One of her sides is sorta bald which is weird but maybe shrews molt. She eats really well and Jason collects her wild bugs almost every day. On the days that he can't she gets mealworms and insectivore food. She's still very sweet to me so I still haven't experienced shrew venom, yet.

While trying to clear a compost pile to build a skunk enclosure Jason accidentally dug up not just one, but two, 5 lined skinks and their nests. At first we were going to just rebury the eggss at our best guess of depth but apparently skinks are like one of the only reptiles with parenting instincts. Which I guess means we can't just rebury the eggs because we won't do it correctly for their mom to stay with them... or something?

So anyway now we have 2 skinks and a bunch of eggs in an enclosure and the moms are doing parental reptile things. Which is weird and wild. Katie will educate you more on skinks later, because she knows reptile things. The extent of my knowledge is basically that skinks are not skunks despite what my phone thinks and the rest has now been relayed to you in this post.

So I had nightmares last night about losing Agnes. In response to that I've made the completely reasonable decision that I should ignore all other responsibilities this week and just handfeed her in the bath. That's reasonable, right?

Okay, maybe I can't do this all week since with the 4th of July on Friday we will inevitably be getting a lot of orphaned and injured wildlife. However, at least a few days, right?

That's actually basically all I have done today and what I'm currently doing. Maybe I need some more anxiety meds. Or therapy. I'm sure I need therapy but do you think therapists let you bring your emotional support beaver?

How to support what we do because I don't have time for therapy so I'll just keep my emotional support Agnes with me:

What has Agnes been doing to get through this heatwave? Lying on the couch and making Jason bring the trees to her.

Today is kicking my butt like 10 different ways. This heat and humidity has made the flies bad and despite our best efforts they keep sneaking inside. So what did I do as one landed on my hair? Ordered like 10 more fly zappers and put some on the wishlist so I can get 1 or 2 in every single room in this place. Flies are like the arch nemesis of rehabbers everywhere and the Office of the War on Flies will not stand for our defeat.

Anybody else ever found themself torso-deep in a pigeon coop, in the middle of what seems like a never-ending heatwave? No? Maybe it’s just a Katie thing.

Despite the heat, we really needed to do a deep-dive of our flock: make sure everyone’s ID band is on securely, make sure everyone’s pigeon-specific vaccines are up to date, make sure we have accurate pictures of everyone, etc and so forth.

It’s hot, it’s smelly, the pigeons are grumpy with us. But hey, at least we have photographic evidence of one of the zanier events of the day.

This was Manny when we took him in back in 2019. He was at least 2 years old, p**ped bright neon orange from being fed a diet solely of carrots, and was incredibly skinny. Initially we transferred him to Indiana House Rabbit Society hoping he would be adoptable but it turned out he had pretty severe heart disease so we took him back. For the next 6 years Manny was a fixture at The Pipsqueakery and losing him today is a tough blow for me and Jason.

We're both going to spend our day taking care of just the essentials and wallowing in our feels about this one. We deal with a lot of death here and while we mourn often we don't often let ourselves take the time to really feel the loss. Manny was special and we loved him dearly. Go hug a bunny. Manny gave great hugs.

You know who is over this heat? Me.

You know who is absolutely loving it? Vinny and Milo the capybaras.

So much to do today. So little time. Can someone lend me a few hours?

This is the young groundhog from Evansville who we named Frankie. Apparently I have had her for 10 days now and she's still in a coma from brain damage. The days run together in rescue I guess. About 3 days into her stay here I started tube feeding her because even though she swallows food fed by syringe it's very slow. She pees, p**ps, has all of her reflexes, and as of today moves her tail away from me if I just touch it. Her pupils are very slow to react still.

Honestly I had hoped to see way more improvement due to promptly starting steroid injections, but time apparently got away from me. Her body condition is still good and her moving her tail in response to just touch is an improvement. I guess at this point a few more days won't hurt though if she was any other species I would think euthanasia was more appropriate. I've found groundhogs are much more resilient to extended periods of inactivity, however, likely because they are built for true hibernation. Either way keep thinking good thoughts for Frankie because I didn't really expect things to go this way.
