We’re waiting for a date next week for the veterinarians to examine Ted. Having to wait might be a blessing. We’ll see how Ted responds to his increased rations. He has a good appetite. This might give us a better idea how much natural food the bears eat from the forest and the clover patch. At times, they don’t seem hungry and leave food we provide. Perhaps they had just been eating wild food. We’ve never had a bear cooped up without access to wild food as long as Ted has been (3 weeks).
No more news on the mother bear killed on the highway.
Thank you for all you do.
