Big Cat Updates

SUMMARY: How do the cats handle cold weather?  Nat leopard on 360 format. Lots of kittens.  PASAprimates presentation. Manny Jaguar gets treats, leopards, too plus news articles, keeper photos, etc.

Lauren Grant ‘s Coordinator Report for Thursday, 1/18/2018

OH BOY IT WAS COLD!

Definitely the coldest day we’ve had in a few years. The water bowls had ice in them until sometime after 1pm.

We were a bit short of keepers today, but fortunately Karma came in to help out. We did a quick clean (picking up food and poop; checking to make sure water bowls were full) since the hoses were a little frozen for most of the morning. We brought water to empty bowls by buckets 🙂

We started cleaning up Gabby’s cage for her return next week. The front two bubbles were raked, weeds were pulled, and around half of the outside was raked and weed-eated.

Everyone was out a little early to get ready for the presentation tonight.

That’s about it!

– Lauren Grant

RECENT QUESTION On a Video:  Do the wild rehab bobcats who cannot go free have trouble transitioning from live prey to a raw diet (not live.)

ANSWER: No, because usually, part of the rehab fail is they aren’t catching and killing their own food very well to begin with.

EXAMPLE: Not often, but once in a while an injured wild bobcat comes through our rehab & release program that simply cannot return to the wild. We try everything before giving up on thier chance at freedom. Mrs. Claws came from the wild as an injured wild kitten and we had hoped she could go free but she failed her rehab because she just could not master catching, killing, and eating prey. So the transition to a raw diet for her was a relief.
