The red fox kits enjoyed quite the feast today! Their menu included chicken legs, liver, fresh blueberries and blackberries along with quail eggs. As usual, the quail eggs were the first thing they went for - those are always a favorite!

Providing a variety of foods helps ensure they receive balanced nutrition while here in rehab

The weasels are ready for the next step in their rehabilitation: transitioning to live prey to ensure they can successfully hunt on their own. This is a critical part of the rehabilitation process and helps us determine whether they have the skills needed to survive once released back into the wild.

I know this may be difficult for some people to think about, but predators must be able to hunt effectively to survive. Providing opportunities to practice these natural behaviors is an essential part of preparing them for life in the wild.

As you can see from the photos, these little weasels have truly made this enclosure their own. They’ve created an impressive network of tunnels throughout the habitat and have dug deep beneath the hollow logs to create secure dens and hiding places. Watching their natural instincts emerge and develop has been incredible.

It's 5:45am and breakfast has been served early today... I have been purchasing Nebraska Brand Carnivore Diet to feed many of the species here in rehab. There are both feline and canine mixtures and our otters get a little of each along with whole fish daily and their Mazuri supplements to help ensure they receive the balanced nutrition they need to grow healthy and strong.

Of course, no otter menu would be complete without a few quail eggs too! They absolutely love them and get those numerous times each week also

The newest coyote patient saw Dr. Ledet this morning. It was a rather smelly ride since this little pup decided to p**p shortly after we hit the road! As soon as we arrived she got a bath.

Dr. Ledet did a full exam and ran tests for distemper, toxoplasmosis and a basic blood panel. We are hoping to have results back by the end of the week. 🤞🏼

For now, she will continue receiving supportive care. She has started deworming medication, clindamycin to help with her skin infection and to give us a head start should the toxoplasmosis test come back positive and she is also receiving a high quality probiotic to help support her digestive system.

The good news is that she is eating well and getting plenty of rest.

I’m not going to say much more until we have the test results and hopefully some definitive answers. Please continue to keep this little girl in your thoughts and prayers while we wait.

Many have asked for an update on the coyote pup that arrived Saturday night. Unfortunately, I don’t really have one just yet which is why I haven’t posted.

This morning I’m taking her to see Dr. Ledet. We’ll be running bloodwork, f***l testing, and additional diagnostics. We already know she is heavily loaded with parasites and treatment has been started. We will also be testing for distemper and toxoplasmosis.

I don’t want to go into too much detail until we have more answers and a clearer understanding of what we’re dealing with. Right now, we’re focusing on getting her the care she needs and gathering as much information as possible.

She is a beautiful little girl and she needs all the support she can get. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers today as we search for answers.

I hope to have more information to share soon

Wes came to the rescue again tonight and went to meet Lacey to pick up this tiny baby skunk. She weighs just 40 grams.

Lacey found her while cutting grass and thankfully found her in time. The little skunk was covered in mud and her tiny mouth was completely sealed shut with it - both outside and packed inside as well.

She will need feedings every few hours around the clock. At only 40 grams, she’s incredibly fragile, but she’s warm, clean, fed and safe.

A huge thank you to Lacey for noticing her and acting quickly and to Wes for once again dropping everything to help wildlife in need.

Wes delivered Sunday snacks earlier and what a variety they got today! Willow and Perry were absolutely thrilled and wasted no time digging in. As soon as I added everything to the enclosure they started nibbling, munching, and sorting through their favorites.

Fresh browse and healthy treats are always a highlight for these two and watching their excitement never gets old. A huge thank you to Wes for spoiling our resident beavers and helping keep their menu interesting. They definitely approve of today’s selection!
