New Years Eve 2019

Civilizations around the world have been celebrating the start of each new year for at least four millennia. Now, most New Year’s festivities begin on December 31 (New Year’s Eve), the last day of the Gregorian calendar, and continue into the early hours of January 1 (New Year’s Day). For Ken and I, we celebrate our nineteenth wedding anniversary. I chose that date so Ken would not forget. But when I was explaining how we were open today and closed tomorrow, he did not have the concept that our day was today. Regardless, the celebration goes on. We are also celebrating those who helped us most this last year. Companies who donated services or product. Without these, we would have accomplished far less. Those such as Litigation Solutions Beyers Fence Sealife Aquarium Wisetax Atkins Tree Care And lots of people too! We have a list of you guys on our website, the list is so long! Look for an update to it on Friday too! Here is the link... https://crazycrittersinc.com/donate-t... This year we finished the bog system. Made progress on the winter barn and greenhouse. Built a new greenhouse. And created many projects that make the facility more self-sufficient. Babies to brag about. Life losses too. The good and the bad. The bad and the ugly. Through sickness and health. Our future is so bright and we are excited to create a place where people can go to get there herpes. Yes, I said herpes. Does anyone follow us from the old days when I used the old English form for herps? It is proper to spell it herpes, so it would spark conversation. Believe it or not, it connected us to so many awesome people. I guess I have always used social media to connect. We have helped over 300 people in their time of need. Many find us on social media. We are blessed to be able to use the same needy and wayward animals to create good honest content for the average exotic pet owner. Thank you once again for all your support in 2019.

How Is Popeye The Sulcata Tortoise Healing After Having CPR?

While turtles and tortoises do not need to breathe very often, they do still require oxygen. We had found Popeye unresponsive last month after an apparent tortoise brawl. After doing CPR for 20 minutes, he came back to life. However, he is still fighting to regain strength. What to do and how do you know your turtle needs reviving?

Inside The Greenhouse - Feeding Lots Of Turtles

#FeedingAquaticTurtles #GreenhouseUpdate #AnimalSanctuary What you feed your pet turtle will largely depend on what kind of turtle you have. If it’s omnivorous, your pet turtle will eat commercial turtle food pellets, feeder fish and insects, and fruits and vegetables. If it’s herbivorous, your pet turtle can eat only fruits and vegetables. Baby turtles need to eat higher amounts of pellets and/or feeder fish relative to fruits and veggies.

#GivingTuesday Fundraiser Because Facebook and Paypal are Matching Donations

Giving Tuesday was started in 2012 by the 92nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation as a response to commercialization and consumerism on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The date range is November 27 to December 3 and is always five days after the holiday.

Last year, we raised $1,000 to purchase heated mats needed for exotic animals. We purchased them and also built an entire barn so we could keep multiple animals safe and warm during bad weather. Click here to see this project.

This year Crazy Critters kicks off their brand new GoFundMe Charity page. All funds will be matched by Ken and Cherrice Purvee during #GivingTuesday, for use to build more stalls in the critter barn.

Please show us support for our first fundraising campaign using the new GoFundMe approved charity page! Click here to see how the project is used at the facility.

Are you interested in helping a mission such as ours? Click the following donate button! Donations are matched today and tomorrow!

Raising Jo Jo The Crow

I know we have not posted in a couple of days. But we are working on so many administrative duties that it was hard to create content. So we are sharing a video that we have made using short shots of the crow. Rearing Jo Jo has been awesome! This video is over the last few months. We have fledged him after we rescued him as a chick. As of now, he lives with the iguanas at night. Most days he free flies aroung the farm where his family comes to visit. For this reason, we thought he would fly off but I suppose he is socialized. It was fun getting him to this point. We had to show him how to eat and live. Eventually, he was able to go off on his own. But the Mocking Birds had another thing in mind. So it took a while for them to settle down. Then the hawk came. He can hold his own with him now too. Click to see the last few months that we have had raising this awesome bird...(Corvus brachyrhynchos) American crows are protected internationally by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. Despite attempts by humans in some areas to drive away or eliminate these birds, they remain widespread and very common. The number of individual American crows is estimated by BirdLife International to be around 31,000,000. We want very much for Jo-Jo to go off to other crows. One day he may go off with his own family, which do come for daily visits and only live three Oak trees away. Until then, he enjoys his time with Ken.

Guess How Many Eggs Turdie The Redfoot Tortoise Laid?

Turdie laid eggs for the first time and we caught it on film. Redfoot tortoise breeding can occur at virtually any time of the year, but most breeders say it tends to take place either during or just after a rain. There are many reports that more than one male is needed for successful redfoot tortoise breeding. It seems that the presence of at least two males appears to stimulate the urge to reproduce. Others think only one male is necessary for successful redfood tortoise breeding. Click to read more about redfoot tortoise nests from our website...https://crazycrittersinc.com/redfoot-...
