All of the cubs at ABR are growing, including the two very underweight cubs rescued most recently. We’ll start with those two cubby brothers in Hartley House. To fatten them up, curators are giving them bear milk replacement formula, shelled peanuts, walnuts. honey, peanut butter, and sliced apples (although they may not eat the fruit).
Scruffy is trying to upend the leaf-filled pool, while Rags has a late night snack.
Scruffy fell asleep. Rags explored the room and dug in the leaves.

Rags climbed down and left the room. Soon, Scruffy woke up and went to find his brother.
