Rocky, Sandra, Pumkin, orphaned raccoons are growing

The 3 girls are growing like weeds! All three are completely weaned now. Rocky, who had me worried a few times during the first couple of weeks, has refused the bottle for 3 days now and is starting to gain weight.

This weekend I am going to buy concrete slabs and will lay them out in the enclosure, so I can just hose it down and keep it cleaner. It's such a mess! Can't wait to just hose it down. The girls love to play with the spraying water..I'm considering buying a sprinkler just for them LOL.



The Abilenians are outside for the 3rd straight day and night now and are enjoying themselves climing! Movie will follow within the next days!

Raccoons, birds and a rehabber

Today Pumkin was introduced to a larger pool. I had gone to the Dollar Store and bought tons of colorful toys I to play with.

The first thing Pumkin did when I placed her into the pool was to tinkle into the water LOL. After that...well, see for yourself!









Afterward we had a good meal:





The birds also benefited from the trip to the Dollar Store. They got new baskets. Below you see 2 mourning doves and 3 phoebes:
