Who would have thought owls had such long legs? And yes, that's a dead mouse he's eating whole. Chouette (or Hoot as we call him) will be going back to his licensed rehabber tomorrow, along with the fawns. These three (along with some other animals the rehabber is raising) will be cared for until they are old enough to be released! Hoot is going to have a great life in the wild! Release is ALWAYS the goal of a rehabber. These animals deserve to live the life they were created for! #greathornedowl #babyowl #hoot #texaswildlife #wildliferehab #wildliferehabber #wildlife #raisingwildlife #babyseason #babyanimals #animalrescue

When bae catches you being creepy watching them sleep... 😂 Sweet Chouette and the fawns, Champ and Sassy, headed back to their rehabber today. I enjoyed having them (especially Chouette) but I'm glad to be back to the 9 raccoons (yes I know that sounds insane)! This rehab life is a lot of work, but there is so much joy and purpose in it for me. In a few months, the world will have a few more wild animals thanks to the work we do! #babyseason #babyanimals #babyowl #babydeer #fawns #texaswildlife #wildliferehabber #wildlife #raisingwildlife

CK got an extra big helping of grapes on his tray tonight. Eleven months ago today this sweet boy came into my life. I had no idea how much he would change my life. Since he was about 4 weeks old when I got him, we are calling May 19th his official birthday. So happy 1st birthday, CK! I love you to the moon, even if you are getting a bit cranky in your old age. 😉🦝🦝🦝 #ckcoon #clarkkentraccoon #babyraccoon #blindraccoon #texaswildlife #wildliferehab #wildliferehabber #wildlife #raisingwildlife #raisingraccoons #raccoonsaloon

A video from early on with the mystery Inc gang. Today is quite a milestone. These guys are 4 weeks today. 4 weeks. We have passed a big hurdle and I couldn't be happier with how these babies are doing! I'll admit I feel a bit lighter today. The best is yet to come... #mysteryinc#mysteryincgang #thegangisallhere #fred #velma #daphne #shaggy #babyraccoons #babyraccoon #babyseason #babyanimals #animalrescue #texaswildlife #wildliferehab #wildliferehabber #wildlife #raisingwildlife #raisingraccoons

I'm sorry for my radio silence. The last 24-hours have been a roller coaster. Yesterday I received these 4 raccoons who had been separated from their mama who had been trapped and relocated. They had not been with a rehabber yet, and so I learned that you have to force feed the babies until they learn that formula is food. They cried for their mama. Couldn't understand why I was forcing their little mouths open. Y'all, I cried through that first feeding. I was angry that they were having to go through this. I was angry that I was having to do this to them. And I was so sad for their little cries for their mama. It took an hour and a half to feed all 10 raccoons. And that wasn't even feeding the new 4 as much as they needed to be fed. I just couldn't keep forcing formula past their little cries. This morning I texted another rehabber about getting these 4 to them. I was dreading the 5pm feeding. I saw a message in my Facebook messenger. This message had been sent in April but I had missed it! It was a friend of a friend offering her help with any babies. We began texting this afternoon and she offered to come help at 5. The rehabber I had spoken to earlier hadn't gotten back to me about taking the babies to her tonight. We had some pretty severe storms this afternoon and I knew she was probably tied up taking care of her home and animals. Tricia stayed for THREE hours. It took THREE hours to feed 10 babies because I was determined to give the 4 new ones the full amount of food their little tummies needed. You guys, suddenly at the end, 3 of the 4 took the bottle! I didn't have to force feed them!! Whew. I literally couldn't believe it. It was only because I had someone there cheering me on. I have had so many people come along side me in this journey. Whether it's help with a single feeding, help building an enclosure, donating items, purchasing stuff off our wishlist, every one of those things have made this journey possible. We are so grateful. I don't know if these babies will stay long term (10 is a lot!), but for now we have Pepper, Cinnamon, Poppy, and Saffron. ♥️🦝

My six sweet raccoons. 😍 Mimi is the lighter colored, twitchy one on her back. And to the left is tiny little Etta (she's almost butt to butt to Mimi). When she curls up next to her nap buddy, you can see just how tiny Etta is compared to the others. Etta ate much better at her 9PM feeding, and almost as good at her 1AM feeding (which is when I took this). They'll all be getting breakfast shortly, and then they won't get to eat again until around 4:30. Hopefully she'll be extra hungry and will eat really well this evening! #labohemeraccoons #operaccoons #mimiandmusetta #mimi #musetta #mysteryinc #thegangisallhere #fred #velma #daphne #shaggy #babyraccoons #babyraccoon #babyseason #animalrescue #babyanimals #texaswildlife #wildliferehab #wildliferehabber #wildlife #raisingwildlife #raisingraccoons

In case you've ever wondered what 8 baby raccoons looks like... Today we upgraded our original four (the #mysteryincgang) to a larger carrier. The new four (#spicecoons) were already in a larger carrier, but we gave it a quick clean. Everybody is now back in the nursery to sleep some more before dinner time. CK is glad for the chance to run around the house! #mysteryinc #thegangisallhere #fred #velma #daphne #shaggy #spicebabies #pepperpoppycinnamonandsaffron #babyraccoons #babyraccoon #babyseason #babyanimals #animalrescue #texaswildlife #wildliferehab #wildliferehabber #wildlife #raisingwildlife #raisingraccoons #raccoonsaloon

We release them because we love them. #wildliferehab #wildliferehabber #texaswildlife #raisingwildlife #babyseason #babyanimals #returntothewild
