Raccoon eating
Sweet baby Rocket is eating big boy food! He has been very stubborn about it, but finally gave in last night! 🦝 #raccon #rescue #wildlife #rehab #florida #tampa #newportrichey #wildanimal #animalrescue #babyraccoon #fyp #cute #love #nature #nonprofit #babyanimal #pascocounty #pinellascounty
Night Heron Rescue
This wasn’t my normal rescue. Birds make me nervous 😅 but this Night Heron had been sitting in front of a convenience store since this morning. I had no clue what I was doing, but was determined to help the poor guy. Luckily, a guy from Team Farrell was there and stepped in to help. He made it look really easy 😂 He has a leg injury, but hopefully it can be fixed. He’s in good hands with the Raptor Center of Tampa Bay 🦅 #raccon #rescue #wildlife #rehab #florida #tampa #newportrichey #tiger #wildanimal #animalrescue #babyraccoon #fyp #cute #love #nature #nonprofit #babyanimal #pascocounty #pinellascounty
Raccoons caught on trail cam 🦝
I set up a trail cam where I released the babies. I didn’t know if they would come back or not, but look!!! All 5 babies are doing great 🥹 I also caught a couple opossums, a lot of other raccoon families, and a cat stealing some food 😅 I’ll post those later! #raccon #rescue #wildlife #rehab #florida #tampa #newportrichey #tiger #wildanimal #animalrescue #babyraccoon #fyp #cute #love #nature #nonprofit #babyanimal #pascocounty #pinellascounty #trailcam

They did so good for their first time! I kept it minimal and did a pretty high food to soil ratio to keep them interested. I was also able to find some creepy crawlies too 🐛🐜🪲🪳their natural instincts always amaze me. I will slowly start including more soil and less kibble, replacing it with natural things they will find in the wild. I’m so proud of these little fur balls 🥰🥰🥰 #raccon #rescue #wildlife #rehab #florida #tampa #newportrichey #tiger #wildanimal #animalrescue #babyraccoon #fyp #cute #love #nature #nonprofit #babyanimal #pascocounty #pinellascounty

Rehab raccoons getting nervous about people
This is a such a bittersweet breakthrough. Just a couple weeks ago, these babies would get really excited to see me. To the point they were running up my body and hanging out on my shoulders 😂 tonight they were nervous! I really try to minimize contact with them now, as hard as it is. They are NOT pets. To survive in the wild, they need to fear humans and learn to survive workout me. This weekend I will be putting a bin with soil, leaves, sticks, and rocks in there and hiding their food. They won’t find a basket of dog kibble hanging outside on a tree 😅 then I will transition them to foods they would find in the wild once they adapt to hunting.
**also, I have other things in their enclosure. I was just in the process of cleaning it 🥰

Little holiday moving right along 🥹
After the 2nd night out in the big enclosure, I noticed Holiday was up in the top hammocks every morning. I didn’t know if one of the bigger raccoons was carrying him up or how he was doing it. I managed to get it on video yesterday! Look at him go! Look how determined he is 😭🥺 I have multiple options for shelter near the ground for him, but he just wants to be with his friends. I also noticed if he doesn’t go to the top, Rockette stays with him.

Super long Koko bear update 🦝
For those that don’t want to watch the video, we have some *slight* improvements.
He was crying 24/7 before. Now he is peacefully sleeping unless he actually needs something.
His arms and legs twitch occasionally, like he’s trying to move them.
When I do stretches with him, his arms and legs are A LOT easier to move.
We have thrown 3 overnights of Eetherapy in a row on tops of a lot of daytime hours. He has also had multiple sessions on the Theraphi Plasma bed.
Keep praying for this sweet boy. I’m noticing small, but positive changes 🖤
LET’S GO KOKO 💪🏼
