volunteering, mice as prey animals, otherwise dull
I got to clean the feeder mice tanks today. mice are cute, but very smelly. since the mouse tanks are in the nursery (nothing else is in there now), I also took my usual nursery/ward cleaning shift. only four enclosures needed cleaning in the ward--seriously, winter is *slow*. then cleaned a flight pen outside for a couple of recovering seagulls. most of what we have are pigeons and seagulls.
volunteering, dull
the bear cubs woke up briefly and made some unhappy gronking noises before settling back into hibernation; I didn't know, but evidently that's very common during hibernation, brief waking periods and "OMG SO HUNGRY" complaints before they pass out again. XD the bobkittens are doing fine, raccoons are doing fine--oh, we have one new raccoon, an adult with a broken toe; he's doing fine, but being a feisty pain in the ass, exactly as he should be. XD
volunteering, dull
also, we had a score or two of unsold Xmas trees donated, which are *awesome* for animal enrichment. the bobkittens have already mauled the crap out of one tree, and others are being appreciated by assorted pigeons, owls, and flickers.
the ward cabinets were torn out and rebuilt, and today I got to clarify some of the shelf labeling and get an extra peg installed to hang the mini dust pan and broom from. contributions to the long-term running of the facility! heh.
