Busy, Busy

After working with the squirrels for so long I was promoted last week to making the food dishes for the foxes. The rest of the week was the usual, syringe feeding the remaining two cages of squirrels, taking the food dishes outside for the three foxes and then to the two in the barn, dishes, laundry, 7 of the bunnies were released on the 8th so the two left got fed and their incubator cleaned, and feeding fawns.

Saturday a bunch of us got in three vehicles and went to another rehab to pick up new outdoor squirrel cages, and a cage for the skunks.We loaded them up on the trailer and brought them back to WBR to set up with the other outdoor cages we have.  Seven groups of squirrels were put outside and then we finished the day with feeding the fawns.

Today was crazy. We moved the rest of the squirrels into the outside cages exept for the two cages of younger ones, the two head trauma squirrels, and the flyers. The two cages of young squirrels were syringe fed, then I cleaned out the flying squirrel's cage and made five food dishes for the squirrels inside.  Then Hope showed me what she wants done for the fox and skunk dishes, because she is not going to be there next monday and I will be in charge of them (there's 5 fox and 4 skunks- that are so cute!). The two bunnies were cleaned out and fed, and the three new ones that came in today that were found in a pool were put in an incubator and fed. We also got in an opossum that was covered in fly eggs and a fox kit that was hit by a car that ended up passing away a few hours after it was brought in.  The skunk cage that was picked up Saturday needed to be moved onto a wooden stand and the squirrel cages outside had hay placed in the bottom of them. Then we ended the day with the fawn feeding.

We are up to 18 fawns (probably getting two more), 2 flying squirrels, 3 opossums, 5 foxes, 12 raccoons, 5 bunnies, 4 skunks, a groundhog, a chipmunk, and a bunch of squirrels.
