10:00 a.m. Just saw apples flying through the air one at a time. Staff must be tossing them from the tower!

Oh wow! Thanks nef, Deb in PA and Connor for these super s'caps of the cubs. I've a soft spot for Double Pinks--they never disappoint!

Deb in PA

Ursa, I know what you mean about Dbl Pinks...they always seem to become my favorites!

Thank you so much, Connor. By the way, have you noticed any possums coming your way?

Lauren, WCV

12:30

Connor is busy at the moment, but I did notice a very special and wonderful opossum join our shared office space

Connor Gillespie, WCV

3:48

I did! Thank you so much! That made my whole week. I showed everyone at the Center and placed the opossum on the windowsill by my desk.

Patte

12:42

Lauren, I am relieved to hear it is being taken care of.

Is what they are being given to supplement their diet like what was given while in the building or more of the things that they will find when they go on their new adventure in a few months? Thank you for the cams and care. May be too costly but years ago the alligator farm had a cam that on lookers could control for a few seconds/minutes. Could be a way to raise funds as so many seem interested and it would save you all some work.

Connor Gillespie, WCV

The rehab team tries to replicate their wild diet as much as possible, but there's no way to make it exactly the same so we have to work with the produce items we get donated or purchase. We do have a "drive the cam for a day" auction item at our Gala. It takes a little technical setup to get it working, so that's why it's not a year-round thing, but we are looking into the possibility in the future!

WCV- How many cubs are involved in the play time? Two? Three?

Connor Gillespie, WCV

3:54

It depends! I usually see two or three playing together, but have seen them all playing together.

Deb in PA

3:54

Hmm, looks good! Care to share? (WCV)

Hmm, I think this tree will hold me! Oh, sorry, didn't know anyone was already up there! (WCV)

Hi Connor. I was asking about how many cubs were in the WCV s'cap at or around 1:20. I couldn't tell.

Connor Gillespie, WCV

5:51

Oh, oops! I count all seven on screen.

Ursa

5:51

Oh Deb, I am in awe of your cub s'caps! Thanks so much for these delightful views of our growing little bears!

Patte

5:51

My pleasure, Connor.

Connor Gillespie, WCV

5:52

Thanks again. It was one of the best gifts I've gotten since joining the Center. And I loved the parchment paper you used in the letter!

jakermo

5:54

Okay, one more time. I'm sorry for the confusion. I mean the s'cap below the one of all Seven.

Connor Gillespie, WCV

5:54

Haha no worries. That is two cubs.

jakermo

5:55

Thank you, Connor. I guess one Big Cub with one Little Cub. Thanks again!!

So did Patte give you the Opposum.

Connor Gillespie, WCV

5:56

She did, and she made it herself. She also sent a very kind letter thanking me for a tour.

jakermo

6:03

Oh that is so nice!! And I'm so glad you got such a special gift.....

6:41

Connor, on Hospital Cam someone asked what the ID number was for the Goose they were treating. I wrote it down and just checked and it said "your search yielded no results". Do you think I got the number wrong? 24-2815

Connor Gillespie, WCV

6:41

No, you got the number right, but the goose isn't a featured patient on our website so that's why you didn't get any hits. But keep an eye on our cams tomorrow! I hear the goose may be moved into an enclosure with a cam...
