Bobcat Attack?

Last week I made the food dishes for the foxes, fed and cleaned the cages for the two opossums, put ointment in one of their eyes, the fox cage that was used for the two foxes that went to the other rehab was cleaned out and moved back to the barn, a new volunteer was there, Rafiki- the groundhog, was put in the outside cage, laundry was done, and the chicken coop was cleaned out.

I usually go three days a week but last week we had a really bad storm and there was a tree and power lines down across the road so I couldn't get there Thursday.

Today I made up all the squirrel dishes for the outside cages, including the flying squirrels, and the four in the barn (two cages of the youngest ones and the two head trauma ones). They all got food, new water and the barn squirrels cages were cleaned out. The four skunks went outside today! Apparently a TON of bunnies came in within the past few days and they are all very young. The 13 bunnies were syringe fed 3 cc's each and their incubators were cleaned out. Rose, the limping fawn has a fractured pelvis. New arrivals today include a fawn that was attacked by a bobcat, a newborn bat, and a small rabbit with one of its back legs broken. Also, one of the fawns was found dead in the morning, not sure why.

Rafiki

He was doing somersaults through the piping, it was so cute!

All the raccoons outside while their inside cages were being cleaned


Skunks


Opossum with the weird eye was moved to the barn today

Blizzard, one of last years fawns hanging out in the yard

Violet is a licker...she could stay attached to your hand licking it for hours, but apparently she thought biting my nose was a good idea...didn't hurt, but I couldn't help squinting with a fawn that close to my face haha.

Ruddy! He couldn't even stand when we got him and he's doing great!
