And finally, calf number 2 is here!
Heather done a grand job as always calfing this one herself - surprising as this one is bigger than the size of Delilah who is over a week old already!
As you can probably guess with the calf taking so long to come and the gigantic size, it's a boy!

How is your Friday going?
It's been a long, hard winter this year.
But as we approach spring great things are happening.
Unsure on gender as of yet however this afternoon this little beauty entered the world.
Unfortunately DeeDee needed some help as he had such a big head but we got there with the help of some friends and neighbours.
Come join us for a funday that won't be forgotten!
Can't wait to see some friendly faces 😁
Can't wait to have your all involved in the transition of this 😁
Look at the adorable little baby tenrec, eyes open and wondering around the enclosure.
These guys are growing fast 😍
You've got to have some fun while busy caring for all the animals... I thought this tree looked fun to swing on while checking the Highland cows, it wasn't very strong to say the least

Everyone meet Wallace the wallaby!
Everyone meet Wallace, he was kicked out the pouch twice and I volunteered as tribute to hand rear him. Wallace likes milk, grass fed from your mouth (yuk, hope the dog didn't pee on that bit 😂) and chin rubs.
We had a nightmare finding bottle nipples suitable for marsupials, however I improvised with a cathetor on a syringe with the help of my local vets supplying an abundance of them (parent brain loosing them often)
From research there hasn't been a lot of success hand rearing wallabys especially parma wallabys however have used my intuition to find ways to mimic his mum, for example if you hold him really close to your heart, keeping yourself very calm to slow your heart rate down he eats like a champ!
This has proven a lot more successful in my eyes than following the zoological guide using an incubator where no bonding happens.
Wallace started to stop eating his milk and stare at me, so I playfully gave him a kiss, now he thinks it's a game and often stops eating to give me a kiss then hide over and over again.
Hope you enjoy the wee video I took to show you!
Wallace won't be attending any encounters or events as he is still a fragile little one, when he's older he may very well do so though! 😁
