Little Bit is convalescing in the nursery, living in the HRH 4000 carrier (provided by ABR’s generous friends!). Soon, she’ll move to a larger cage close by. At this stage, it’s important to keep her hydrated, on antibiotics, fed, and fly-free (flies lay their eggs in open wounds). She’s eating well, and demonstrating the spirit that has kept her alive this long in the wild. We hope that with care and time, she’ll be well enough to go back there.
