New arrivals*

Kittens always brings a smile to anybody's face except when you have to get up every 4 hours to feed them...
Our two new arrivals are two serval kittens of about 3 weeks old.
They came from our own wild life centre and is being hand-raised by our staff and students.
"Apollo" is the lighter one of the two boys and "Oryn" is the darker one of the two.

They get fed every4 hours, and are both on 28ml of Esbilac puppy. Esbilac is a milk replacer which gives them the required nutrients and vitamins they would have gotten from their mother.

Feeding animals is part of our daily routine. It takes a lot of time out of your day having to prepare all the food for the different animals we have. There is the birds that we need to prepare fruit for, all the animals eating meat that we need to prepare meat for by cutting it and giving each one the correct amount. And the babies that still get milk. The exact amount needs to be weighed off for each animal according to their body weight

When lion cubs aren't feeling to good

Toska, our one lion cub wasn't feeling to well. She had a bit of diarrhea and she wouldn't eat. We took her temperature, which I'm sure must have been quite uncomfortable and her glucose value from a drop of blood from her ear. Luckily she's looking a lot better now! She's back to her old self and eating like a real lion.
This is Toska lying inside the cage in their enclosure.

Wild Life Centre

Flies can be really irritating so shoo fly is always a good option to put on the cubs ears. Keeps the flies off of their ears and stop them from being irritated.
This is one of our 7 lion cubs we have here at Sondela. They are 6 females and 1 white male lion Kodee.
