Baby Yoda and Smiggle

For those of you who saw my previous post with the bushbabies, I finally found their baby photos. How I raised them: Because they were so very tiny, I could not find a bottle that was small enough to fit their mouths, so I used a little dropper. I started them off on baby formula and as they got older I started making fresh fruit puree and mixed it with yogurt. When they started jumping around (and destroying everything) I started hiding berries and nuts so they could learn to search for food themselves. They are nocturnal, so during the day they basically just slept unless I waked them for feeding time. To keep them warm I walked around with each one on a side of my bra. At night time I filled a sock with rice and put it in the microwave, I reheated it every 40 minutes (with every second feeding) so they would not freeze. #naturephotography #wildlife #animals #southafrica #iamfromsouthafrica
