2005 Well now I have the big goods news — I recieved $791 of donations through the website.I'm just coming from the bank and now I'm going to look for a freezer and I'm really exited about it. To answer a question we received, there is no animal babymilk here to get, so we use mostly powdermilk as they sell it for human babie. A little howler monkey that arrived while I was in Manaos and was in VERY bad state; he gets human babymilk for new borns. The coati gets the same, but she already feeds on worms too. When the monkeys get bigger, they will have babyfood, which is milk with different cereals and vitamins . . . and it does them really good. With the anteater and Lola when she was small, we had to mix the milk with cooked oat. In the beginning it's always a problem with a new animalspecies until we find out how much milk we can give to it — many times they get diarrea and we have to put more and more water into the prepared milk until we get it right. Love,
Gudrun |
