her brain is a survivor when she was hit by a car many of her bones were broken during. the local vet wanted to put her down but donna stepan doesn't give up on a woman. she's building a sanctuary dedicated to saving one by. its own sleepy bar and the life here is anything but sleep in one word but would you describe your daily schedule of. insight because that's what everybody tells me i am.

every year more than 301 back to me to help brought here to her property sound while. most of the one bets are off and after they bother us we keep our calm. to donna and her husband built their own individual net bag that is most generally cats can all this is casual. and this is eminem's kitchen frankly and i'm sure it. got. quiet. now they are. the youngest one bats live in 3 rooms of the house and so to make themselves at home. solicitous positive.

octagon brought which won. many cheering. in the 9 and on and on and on and. on get into trouble. playing she's not that. it might not seem like it here but wombats. solitary territorial animal has done his job is to prepare the food it's easy for eventual release into the pool. so the 1st one that it's better to around 6 am. come back to cloth one around 11 pm so since all of this is . an old a job and frankly i don't think i'm cut out for a while whoa whoa whoa but.

when they're not close ignite him the young woman sleep in boxes and bags set up to replicate a borrowed or a mother's pouch this used to pay a living room and as you can see now. it has. completely the idea was never to have them in the house it was to keep it secret but the centuries just point now that it's not it's not possible. we were at 200 percent capacity. so if this is. the youngest. who survived after a car killed her mother if she was. just 50 grams when she emerged from the pound ammons quite literally a handful of. what i do is i tend to boil them before me. so that

when i feed her she's come to thank. you she's already gone to the day. and this is her 4th week so she's she's. always nestled under donors should abba requires feeding every 2 hours. she's making good progress. 65 grams. of fiber and. i am happy. every cheerios with. another one. is. playing with the family dog. but domestication problem. does appear in the c.c.

and he was fed dog food and only type out saw it on car trips. one but it's normally about. before they're ready for release into the wild but former pets like eddie. we hear of people who have the mill eagerly all the time you go to remember some of these one but have never been outside. he didn't know what day it is this is beautiful and that i can interact with him i can be with him but at the same time it makes me angry because it's not how he should be. but we'll fix. it was a callous one way to use a guard that sit on the path deciding. she sorich hour of you run over warm about rising by the roadside then drive away. they probably didn't

even know about them but it was probably just a night of fun. there was no thought to what would happen afterwards to the animal how long it would take to die the fact that they drove off laughing. i promised it to that animal that i would make a difference. i knew i could create something good with it so. sorry. what has come out if that as horrible as it was is something i harp is more powerful in the long run for one bets. since then donna has built sleepy borrows. the pens around the sanctuary prepare them for last doc in the wad this is one but primary school in each of these compartments there is a bar which the young juveniles will go into i will bring them in and then only for

short periods of time but that's to replicate what would be happening with their mothers and through that they will gain just that slight bit of confidence being on their own and they move it got back into the studio. by the time this would get longer and longer and longer when they get to a point where they actually don't want to come inside with me that's when we actually move them up into one that high school it's a long drawn out prices like rising a toddler multiple toddlers sitting. on the outer edges of the century place he's caught by working with a lodger wombats as they become ready for a relationship we go to so good why pretty quick he'll still start running. smooth running with the. big bags was just a bag but. now this briggs keeps feel on his toys how do you determine
