3 Raccoon Girls Outside

Pumkin, Sandy and Rocky are outside together for the first time. I keep a very close eye on them and right now they are sleeping all in different spots:

Rocky, Sandy, Pumkin, Abi, Lena, Ian, the orphaned raccoons

So, with 6 raccoons from 4 different litters and different ages, cottontails, various birds, and a foster dog with 6 puppies, the Rainbow Wildlife Rescue is officially full.

But of course I want to share the fun with ya'll, so here goes!

Here are the movies!!!

Their brother Ian was hiding under a stuffed teddy and didn't want his picture taken.

In addition we have some birds: doves and starlings:

Raccoons and Birds Update

I got to meet the most wonderful lady who took lil Peanut home with her to give her a permanent home. Poor lil Peanut does not only have neurological problems, but she also appears to be blind. But now she is in the best hands possible and I can stop worrying and start concentrating on the babies I still have.

The 3 Abilenaians, Abi, Lena and Ian are growing like crazy:




Here's a picture of Ian gaping. That happens sometimes when they fall to sleep with the bottle. The white stuff around his mouth is milk:



And below is Pumkin with sand on her nose while playing under my chair:



3 Starlings joined the family:



The doves are doing great and the sparrow is still here:

What a happy family with those happy puppy noises!

I finally have a few minutes to update this blog.

Pumkin has moved to the outside enclosure and has started to play. Unfortunately she is still alone, so I spend a fair amount of time playing with her:



Sad news about Peanut (who's a girl after all!). She has neurological problems and has no control over certain movements of her body, such as her head. Thankfully, Jani at the Breezy's Place in South Texas has offered to come and pick her up. She will get the best treatment possible which I cannot afford at this time. If she is not releasable, she will have a permanent home there too. Thank you, Jani and Katt!!

Then I have 3 new additions of about 10 days old, 2 girls and a boy. I named Abi, Lena, and Ian, based on the town they originated from, Abilene that is. All 3 are doing good, even though they are on antibiotics due to previous aspiration:



Coco says Hi too:

Coco has 6 healthy Puppies

Coco Banana finally had her pups! Six of them! They all look healthy and they all look like mom.
