I still need to finish this. The release really killed the momentum on it for me, and I feel I need to do a full rewatch now to do it justice. I was shocked that I heard almost nothing about it anywhere. I hope it has a solid ending.

The bunny babies don't get handled any more than necessary for how delicate they are. The lady that handles them dropped 3 off in a nice field the other week, and she was saying she stopped back and did a "hey bunny bunny!" and one came hopping out to see her. I think they were calling it a Snow White Moment, when you call and the wild animals you took care of recognize you and come check you out. 😇
We've all done something similar at some point. Some stuff just looks cool, and you like it even if you may not know what it is.
I listen to German metal or industrial stuff and just assume they're saying cool stuff, but who knows. 😁
They are no joke. Even though they're mostly fluffy and air, they still got attitude out the wazzoo, grip strength stronger than a pitbull's jaws, lots of sharp bits, and are of consequential size!
I haven't gone in with an adult yet, but the baby we have is already near as big and it keeps me on my toes.
Kitty didnt want you paying attention to other cats? 😁
That was much the extent I saw too, it was mainly from blogs or vendors though, so I had been hoping for something with some more credentials. Lots said chicken neck bones were good for size, digestibility, and as a source of collagen.
Great brand recognition for sure. I think more people likely know the logo than the music.
I wouldn't have though cats eating bones would have been a hard thing to look up, but after a few different queries, all I get is from stuff about people trying to give a raw diet to housecats. As they're 100% carnivores, I'm sure they're designed to handle whatever they would eat purposefully, but it would be nice to have more details.
That reminds me, I heard someone "donated" a case of vegan dog food the other day, whatever that is. I didn't get a chance to check it out.
I love hotdogs, despite their reputation. After having about a quarter million as a kid, it's just too late to worry about their contents at this point! 😄
The animals that aren't on formula all eat ambient temp food as far as I've seen thus far. I'm just happy if someone actually bothered to thaw out prey items for me, I usually have to thaw them myself and it takes forever soaking them in water and flipping and separating them and all that to try to speed it up. Some animals have the precise weight of the food recorded, and since they swallow it whole, I have to make sure it's flexible, so I've got to thaw the whole bag to make sure I can get something appropriate for the specific animals.
In the wild, they'll eat cached or found found, so most don't require it to be so particular. We do accommodate if they're picky eaters though, like with the pregnant opossum that wouldn't eat the raw eggs, only scrambled.
I debated that one, but I felt the middle initial was too iconic to drop.
It is brutal in a way, but it is efficient and wastes nothing, so who are we to criticize? 🤔
It was oddly amusing seeing the Cooper's Hawk the other day "murder" its meal I brought it. Having the snacks be not alive to begin with makes it exponentially easier to swallow, both for them and myself. They're just even smaller Cornish hens at that point.

Fangorn our 5 week old Tawny Owl and Oak our 21 year old Tawny Owl!
It's hard to believe that Oak once used to be so fluffy. At just 5 weeks old Fangorn is now the same weight as Oak!

Blakiston's Fish Owl, Nemuro, Hokkaido, Japan.
Until the early 20th century, it was distributed throughout Hokkaido in Japan. Due to deforestation reducing the nesting trees and river improvements and the construction of sediment control dams reducing the fish population, it is now only seen in areas such as eastern Hokkaido's Shiretoko, Nemuro, Tokachi, and Hidaka.
The current number of pairs is estimated to be about 100, totaling over 200 individuals, and they are designated as being at the highest risk of extinction, listed under the critically endangered Class IA. Nearly half of these birds reside in the Shiretoko region of eastern Hokkaido, where a good natural environment is preserved.
This owl can reach a body length of about 60 to 72 centimeters (24 to 28 inches) and has a wingspan of approximately 1.9 meters (75 inches). It is also quite heavy, ranging from 2.95 to 4.6 kilograms (6.5 to 10.1 pounds).
The Ainu, the native people of Hokkaido, felt that owls watched over all living things, and therefore had great significance to their beliefs.
Kamuy, spirits from heaven, embodied themselves in animals, plants, or even objects of importance. Treating them well was rewarded by heaven. When bad times came, it was thought that it was because people had lost respect for the environment, and the spirits returning to heaven were displeased with how they were treated during their time among mankind. Only by practicing proper care of these things, would return the previous prosperity.
Was excited to see the baby Screech outside of its box yesterday, and not only that, but it has a new neighbor! This is the newest one taking a nap. Like people babies, holding up that big head is a lot of work, so they just plop down to give themselves a break.
This is the one that showed up last week. Glad to see it adjusting to clinic life.
This was my first look at the new one. It didn't know what to make of me and was doing the circular head bobbing to give me a good once over.
Someone else had beat me to feeding them. Boo.
I did manage to grab a pic of a opossum baby. They tend to scurry off as soon as they're spotted so I was happy to finally catch one.
I just dropped off their meal and I saw it stick its nose out and start sniffing, so I just stood still and waited.
I mixed up lots of different formulas for the next day or two. Raccoon milk and skunk milk were the 2 I can remember. The skunk milk smelled pretty good... 😁
Did some birds also. The Cooper's Hawk was very hungry and I got to watch him "hunt" the bird I left for him and start eating. Got to feed some bluebirds and that was my first good look at them. The baby jays double in size each week I see them. Fed them mealworms and blueberries.
I met the raven I heard about last week! The girls were afraid to reach in there to clean up his thing, so I'm like I'll give it a go! I pulled back its privacy towel and that thing was huge! Getting the messy paper out wasn't bad, as it moved around me, but when it came time for the new paper, it didn't like me working around its legs and looked to get uncomfortable. I quickly grabbed a raptor handling glove from the table next to me! I got it all resituated and called it a day with that guy! I didn't grab a pic because it's latch was a little finicky and I didn't know its behaviors, so I just wanted to concentrate on the job this time.
