Spring is Coming! It may not feel like it now, but spring is fast approaching! I can see it in the days that are getting progressively longer. Today we worked outside until 6:30pm, and it seems that not so long ago it was dark by 5pm. While we look forward to warmer weather, I know […]

It has been just under 3 weeks since two of our Silver Fox does kindled. It has been cold most of that time so we have only seen two of the kits venture outside of their nesting box. We checked in on them today to see how they are progressing and were pleased with the […]
