July 23

July 23, 2016 

This morning I got to help treat the rock pythons for mites.  They probably came from the hay or grass in their bedding.  We scrubbed them w ivermectin to get rid of them.  

Afterwards we worked on cleaning out the antelope pens and then I started working on some enrichment activities for the animals.  We are using some the activities that my students came up with.  I started walking around collecting things and recruiting some people to work on the activities with me!  I am super excited to start putting some things together and getting them in the animal cages.

The lamb is still doing ok.  She still isn't thrilled about taking the bottle and has on and off diarrhea but she is still holding her own.  

During animal time I was in with Prince, the serval.  He comes up and purrs and runs against your hands and legs and drools everywhere!  Today he laid down in my lap for a little while and then when he got up he sat down in front of my and licked my face and walked away.  I think him and Carla, one of the female leopards are my favorite.  I love to sit with Carla and she comes and rubs against my hands and drools and licks and makes rumbling noises.
