The exotic animal trainer that helps us with all our exotics (and all our super challenging domestics š¤£) has commented on how surprised he is that the zebra takes correction from the minis. A huge part of that is from solid start his original rescuer put on him but some of that is how we manage his environment. Deizel has his own feed bin they can reach (the minis have their own as well) but they often choose to eat together. We try to remove herd-mates who are ātoo muchā as cute as this video is, Leroy the mule will be moved out for a bit to give the zebra some piece. Yesterday the mule seemed to spend all day annoying poor Deizel. Playing is one thing but we all need some undisturbed āme timeā. š¤£ I donāt want the zebra to lash out because heās had enough and the mule doesnāt know when to take a break.
Piperās what we call ābird safeā, she often doesnāt even acknowledge themā¦..unless itās nighttime, then she helps me locate all the stragglers that need to be brought into the coop. Some days sheās just not observant enough to be helpful. š¤£
These two traveled to their vet appointment together, havenāt been next to each for a few days & now itās the cowās first day out of quarantine! š
Petunia came in 6 MONTHS ago.
Morbidly obese, unable to walk & unwillingly to make healthy eating choices. š
She had essentially given up BUT we had some pretty amazing volunteers who continued to bring various home grown veggies (despite her rejection) & we determined to āhelpā her get walking (despite her complaining)! ā¤ļø
Approx 5.5 months (2 months of which needed pain meds) to get her to this point. š¤Æ But look at her now! ā¤ļø
Thank you to all of supporters (financial, time and/or material)! ā¤ļø
