Marmot Update

After talking to a Marmot expert at Prince Rupert Wildlife Rehab Center, we learned that we’ll be keeping this little guy a few months, until he is about the size of an adult. Good thing we have that great mammal pen almost re-roofed! He’ll be big enough to go in there in a few weeks! More photos to come soon!

Poor Little Marmot in bad shape!

Orphaned Yellow-Bellied Marmot

This poor little guy was found wandering on Hwy 97, no mom in sight.  By the time he came to us he was thin, dehydrated and cold; also covered in fleas.  No sleep tonight, checking on this guy every 2 hours, giving fluids and trying to get him to eat.  Good luck little guy!  We’re doing our best to save you, keep on fighting!
