📺 SLOTH TV
IMPORTANT NOTE: We have a juvenile male three-toed sloth with a broken arm who has been spending a lot of time on the playground for rehabilitation exercise. Despite his young appearance, he is old enough to be independent so he is not a part of our nursery class. But because we have had a lot of inquiries about him, we wanted to introduce Theseus! His injury stems from a serious fall during a storm that resulted in the fracture of his arm. Stay tuned on our social media later this week for his official announcement and the launch of his CUDDLY Campaign!
🦥Sloth Preschool Update:
NEW ARRIVAL Opal, 2F sloth: Opal was brought in by SINAC just this week after she was found alone, clinging to a fence in Guacimo, Costa Rica. So far she has been active, responsive, and seemingly healthy but only time will tell. We are closely monitoring her and providing regular health checks until we know for sure that she is stable.
Bonnie, 2F sloth: Bonnie has been doing better, but her elbow may be dislocated. We are hoping to get her to a specialist this week for a second opinion before we begin any treatments. Still with a reserved prognosis at this time.
Clyde, 2F sloth: Clyde had nasal secretions, so we started him on preventative nebulization treatments and so far he has been responding well. Other than that he is stable. Still with a reserved prognosis at this time.
TayTay, 2F sloth: TayTay has started to be weaned onto smoothie! She is still spending nights in the incubator due to her small size, but is in good health. We are closely monitoring her progress.
Waylon, 3F sloth: Waylon is progressing well! He has started eating more leaves and exercising regularly on his structure. He is still spending nights in the incubator and has a reserved prognosis at this time.
Beanie, 2F sloth: Beanie’s transition onto a captive diet is taking a lot longer than expected, as she still prefers smoothie. We are working on it!
Fiesta, 2F sloth: Fiesta is almost at her goal weight and will be graduating to Sloth Elementary in the next couple of weeks! Our Vet Team is keeping a close eye on her.
Bruno, 2F sloth: Bruno is growing well! He is stable and getting plenty of exercise.
Nevada, 2F sloth: Nevada has had some nasal secretions, so she is undergoing preventitive nebulization treatments. Other than that she is stable and growing well!
Pixie, 2F sloth: Pixie is officially spending nights outside of the incubator with the other babies! She is growing so fast and we are extremely happy with her progress.
🌳Sloth Elementary / High School Update:
GRADUATE Wyatt, 2F sloth: We are so excited to share that Wyatt has officially graduated to Sloth Elementary, although we think this little loner would have preferred to stay by himself! Wyatt is having a hard time getting used to being with other sloths, but this is a good thing, as adult wild sloths are very independent. His climbing skills need some practice, but he is healthy and growing fast.
GRADUATE Tulip, 2F sloth: We are so excited to share that Tulip has officially graduated to Sloth Elementary! Unlike Wyatt, she is thrilled to spend more time around the other juvenile sloths and has been very enthusiastic about climbing.
Rose, 2F sloth: Rose’s nasal secretions have cleared up and she is stable once again. She has already started the weaning process and is doing very well.
JJ, 2F sloth: JJ has officially finished nebulization treatments and is stable once again. He is being weaned off of smoothie and spent his first day in an outside enclosure with Mimi!
Mimi, 2F sloth: Mimi is starting to be weaned onto a leaf diet and she recently spent her first day in an outside enclosure with her buddy JJ!
Moose, 2F sloth: Moose is gaining weight again and growing well. We have restarted his weaning process and so far so good!
Grover, 2F sloth: Grover is doing great! He is almost entirely weaned off smoothie, but has to gain a little more weight before we can fully transition him to leaves. He is spending an increasing amount of time in an outdoor enclosure.
Phoenix, 2F sloth: Phoenix was displaying some respiratory symptoms, so we have started him on nebulization treatments again. Due to this, we have temporarily halted his outdoor time to ensure his quick recovery.
Binx, 2F sloth: Binx has hit a stagnant period in her weight gain so we are back to supplementing her diet with smoothie. She is doing much better outside and gaining more independence, but still prefers the company of classmates Grover and Phoenix.
🎓Sloth University Update:
REWILDED Myrtle, 2F sloth: We are so proud to announce that Myrtle was successfully rewilded this week! Her bloodwork came back healthy and she showed no signs of anemia. In addition to a clean bill of health, Myrtle had been trying to escape her caretakers for weeks–this girl was ready to go. We will be tracking her movements and behavior using a telemetry collar and a microchip for the first couple weeks to ensure she is doing well.
Marina, 3F sloth: Marina is almost at her goal weight to be released! She is so ready to be #backinthetrees!
Natalia, 3F sloth: Natalia only has a few months left until she hits her goal weight! She is healthy as can be and very independent.
Ken, 2F sloth: Ken’s leaf intake is being closely monitored by our Vet and Animal Care Team, as his weight has plateaued. His behavior is promising, as he is independent and showing aversion towards human contact.
Roo, 2F sloth: Roo is recovering from some digestive issues and is back to eating like a champ! Healthy and active.
