Zwierzanie pod lasem

Matylda is making a guest appearance at my parents’ place. I took her with me because she needs eye drops and care, and Maciek stayed home alone for a few days and already has more than enough to do.

Matyldzia is absolutely delighted with the garden and the pond, although unfortunately she could only enjoy the water for a short while because of her sore little feet.

A moment of calm after another long day. A magical evening with mist rising over the fields, as if the world itself was breathing a sigh of relief. The animals are all taken care of. Time to sleep.

Today is rainy and stormy. I spent all our walks running away from the rain.

I’m not entirely sure why, but this kind of weather always puts me in a nostalgic mood. It makes me want to look through old videos, photos, and all kinds of little keepsakes, of which — as a proper goblin — I have quite a lot.

I dug up this video: a true blast from the past — tiny Gloria and young Bemol. It feels like it was yesterday. Little Bemol passed away last year, and Gloria is now an older lady.

Greetings from Ash, Łatka and Matylda — our duck.

Good morning and have a lovely day from messy little Tadzio 🐷

A few days ago, we released our last winter guest — little Stefan. He was the boldest huffer of the whole trio. Even in the video, you can see that very little is able to throw him off balance.

The release took place under Jawa’s supervision. She carefully oversaw the whole process, especially whether the right amount of kibble had been put out 😆 We had to catch her and take her back home right after, otherwise there would have been no “soft release” at all — Jawa would have eaten everything 😅

We’re happy to report that Pirat and Ciapka are doing well and growing like crazy 🙂 We know they are “just” mice — often called pests and mercilessly exterminated in all sorts of ways — but to us, they are a tiny miracle. Proof that every living being has the will to survive and deserves a chance ❤

It is hard to say goodbye after eight months of living together, but this is how it should be — their true home is in nature.

They are healthy, each weighing over 900 grams. They were treated for fleas and parasites, and we also carried out a “soft release.” For the next few weeks, we will continue to provide food at the release site to give them the best chance to adapt to life in the wild.
