OTI, TOFFEE, & MARBLE

Recently landed: Oti, Toffee, & Marble

Instead of our typical single release of a plushness of ringtails in autumn, this season, we soft released an additional two groups. The extra two groups comprised of Bill and Jean, after a rescue of an adult ringtail, Juniper, resulted in her casting aside her young upon our returning her to her home, and Oti, Toffee, and Marble, who came into being when Jean rejected, quite pointedly, Oti from their union. While it may not have been the plan, and snowballs do as snowballs will, we wouldn’t have had it any other way, and so we are delighted to report that, as of last night, the last group, the Overflow’s Overflow, comprised of Oti, Toffee, and Marble, threaded their way into the night. The hatch to their soft release enclosure is now open. They can come and go in their own good time, as they feel their way in their new home in Batesford. And while plentiful, fresh browse will no longer be put inside the enclosure, so as to gently encourage them to move out and pick it for themselves in the trees, they have the safety of its familiarity.

All that awaits, in the fullness of time, Oti, Toffee, and Marble, now that the hatch to the soft release enclosure is officially open. Which branches will they traverse first? We’ll have to wait and see.

With paws crossed their first foray into the splendour is a good one, here’s to our third group of autumn-released ringtails!
