  • Hello handsome face!

  • Hi dude! What do you think? Do you want to come eat some breakfast?

  • Here, do you need some help? Here, yeah, up we go! [baby beaver noises]

  • Oh! Nice work! There you go, here!

  • Would you like an apple? Yeah, there you go, don't fall!

  • Hi guys! I wanted to give you an update on our little baby beaver here who's growing so big,

  • so let me tell you all about what Huckleberry has been up to...

  • [Intro music]

  • Huck is about nine weeks old now and he has tripled in size

  • you can see he's eating solid foods now, his favorite are apple slices and

  • rodent blocks, which - this is really good for him, gives him lots of his nutrients.

  • Yeah, eat it all in your mouth! [laughing]

  • Good job! He loves eating! He's a really good eater, he loves social interaction

  • but there are some other things that we're still working on. Huck has mild

  • neurological damage and it was diagnosed through watching his behavior and working with our vet.

  • He has trouble balancing - he'll often step sideways and stumble.

  • He has trouble moving over objects and we're still determining If it's safe for him to full-on swim and dive.

  • We're also concerned about his eyes.

  • They water quite frequently and we're wondering if he can see out of his right eye.

  • Further behavioral assessment is needed to determine what his abilities are.

  • What do you think? Here! Here! There you go!

  • Good job!

  • He is really social and I love that, but like in the wild he's particular about who he's familiar with

  • or social with. So he's bonded very strongly to me, but he's still quite wary of strangers.

  • Because he's so comfortable with me, and we've established a really strong trust bond,

  • I've actually been able to take him out on public presentations already

  • so we can educate about how amazing beavers are.

  • Since he is a baby beaver right now my favorite part to talk about during public presentations is the fact that

  • Baby beavers actually have to fart in order to get all the air out of their belly, to leave their lodge.

  • So it's a perfect time to talk about it, he's a baby!

  • One of the things that I'm working with him right now is trying to get him to practice some gross motor skills,

  • so getting him to balance. You got it buddy! Oh, that was -

  • That was a pretty good one, look at him go! Yeah!

  • I want to work on his gross motor skills so that he can be the best beaver he can be,

  • and I can offer Him an enclosure with varying levels, and different substrates,

  • and he can manage it well.

  • A couple weeks ago we moved him from his temporary enclosure in just the kiddie pool

  • to this larger space. This is actually our late American mink Frasier's old enclosure

  • but it's working out well for Huck here because we could put his kiddie Pool right inside

  • and let him explore at his own pace.

  • Something exciting that happened in the last two weeks is that he - he started eating solid foods,

  • but then he started chewing on his wood, and you can see that he has

  • chewed the bark off of these aspen branches and ahh he's growing up so fast!

  • As he continues to grow we'll continue to make modifications for his needs.

  • I'm hoping to be able to remove the kiddie pool and get a deeper tank that he might be able to swim

  • and fully submerge if he's able to do that.

  • For now we're just gonna keep going at his pace and whatever he needs, we'll give him.

  • Thank you guys for going on this adventure with me and Huckleberry!

  • If you'd like to go on an adventure with us every week subscribe to our YouTube channel Animal Wonders Montana.

  • Thanks! And we'll see you next time.

  • [Outro music]
