Our over-wintered oppossums are healthy and happy and ready to be released!
These are the three (previously) baby oppossums that we have over-wintered here at the sanctuary. They are fat and healthy, and ready to be released. Susan is waiting for things to green up a little more before she lets them go. We always do a soft release, meaning they can come and go in their den - with food and water supplied - until they are ready, and able, to manage on their own. For some it takes just days, others a few weeks, but eventually they all make it on their own!

Rosie and Kimmy enjoying the beautiful day. Just a note that in some areas, bears are going into hyperphagia. At this time of year (August through October) a bear feels the need to eat continuously and that need may include feeding up to 24 hours a day. So you may start seeing more bears around your yard, garbage, on the hiking trails etc. Use extra caution this time of year and be sure you do not leave food out, grills uncleaned, or garbage unsecured!

A lot of you often ask if the bears ever hurt Jim or Susan. While they don’t really worry about being attacked, the sheer size and weight of the bears can cause them to knock you over or take you down when play wrestling with them. That’s why Jim usually avoids going in the water with them. Here is an example of a Leo “wrestling take-down”. Watch until the end. ? Susan says they are two old men and this is too much for either of them anymore.

From Susan: It’s not easy to get bunny video. The motto of the rabbit is “run for your life”. I try not to discourage them from thinking that way, so I don’t handle them too much. This week they will be be weaned then they will move to an outdoor enclosure. A week later they will be released!

Late last summer we got a call from a woman who was having a problem with her car battery. The light kept coming on. When she went to have it checked the mechanic found a nest full of squirrels. She goes to work everyday, so part of the day the car is in one place and part of the day it is in another. How was the poor mother taking care of them? They were still pretty small at that point. They came to us, and will spend the winter here and will be released in the spring. How adorable are they?

You think it's easy feeding all these deer at once? LOL!
