This is a blog about our experiences as relatively new wildlife carers. It's not a reference guide on how to look after animals, there's too much left unwritten in our posts for that and we don't always get it right.
Remember, wild animals belong in the wild, they don't belong to us!

First Rescue


Today Steve and I went to a wildlife rescue (you might say wow) but it was a little rescue a little tiny magpie. Cute as anything and unsure about everything. Pity this is not a paying job I could do it all the time. So we now have a baby magpie at least until tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow we do a swap the maggie for a baby ringtail originally we were going to hand Rufus to another carer who had a ringtail (roughly same age same weight) but there is a huge shortage of carers out there so we will after tomorrow have a mate for Rufus. We know he is another male so we hope they take to each other. How does Rufus and Rusty sound? Trying to think of names is fun.
Just like having kids only kids are more demanding. Maybe not, you feed them, wipe their mouths, clean their bottoms, and change their beds. (No not much different).
