Baby Beaver Swimming, Eating, and Playing

Baby beaver: This male baby beaver was rescued from Big Valley, where he was found huddled on top of his dead mother near a stream. When he was admitted to AIWC he was only a few days old. The tiny baby was covered in mud and dangerously hypothermic. He received immediate supportive care to raise his body temperature, and was fed special beaver milk replacer every 3-4hours. In this video, he is about 2 months old and is fully weaned. He has an indoor enclosure (where he can be seen eating at the end of the video) and is taken outside for walking and swimming once or twice each day. The beaver will stay at the center until late spring 2012. Thanks for watching! Visit www.aiwc.ca.
