SPECIES CARE

I haven't been on my blog for a long time because we are very very busy . . .

I started with my new course in the Wild life center learning how rehabilitate sick animals and injured animals and to care for them...

In my first week I saw and learned how to prepare feeding for the animals, for example you get different types of cutting boards like red is for raw meat, brown is for cooked meat, yellow for chicken, blue for fish. And we also learned one very important lesson and that is cleaning because you work with sick animals.

The feeding was quite a tricky situation because we've got different types of animals, carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores. So not all carnivores eat the same amount of meat not all herbivores drink the same amount of milk . It all depends on the animals body weight etc. On the second week in the W.L.C we started to prepare the food by supervision. We also started doing spot checks in some animals cages, spot checks is cleaning the cages you look at the animals behaviors and every thing in the cages...

In week 3 we started with plant care Elani and I planted some cuttings in the serval teens/cage, but the servals thought we planted it for them to play with so the plants didn't survive...

 Wild life center was very nice and I learned a lot!
