I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I appreciate that you tell us both the joys and trials of animal rescue. Some channels only want to show a soft focus on rescue, which gives an incomplete picture for people who are interested in going into rescue work, or who just think that a pet beaver (for instance) would be the best thing ever. Thank you!
Hear hear! There's not many people who would go to all the trouble of chasing down an available wildlife carer on a Friday night, then try to reunite her with a nearby beaver family _AND_ stay to check she was OK... let alone fish little Pya back out of the river when she wasn't OK & care for her until the experts arrived. Hikers - you are absolute legends!! 😎👍
Much love to the people who found little Pya and recognized she needed help, and then doing everything they could to ensure she got it. Including recognizing that it would be better to release her to what they assumed was her wild family, videoing and then double checking with Animal Wonders to make sure it was the correct family, AND THEN getting Pya out of there when it was apparent she wasn't a part of that particular family. A lot of thought and care went into the safety of this little beaver the moment she was found! And it goes without saying; much love to Animal Wonders for getting Pya to the point she is now!
Out of purely selfish reasons, I hope her and Huckleberry get along well! She is so incredibly cute and I would love to see her live her life over the next few years
"Probiotic poop slurry syringe" is one hell of a combination of words. 😶 But I'm happy to see Pya doing so well! That was a scary beginning for her life.
I’m in Vet Tech school and I’m interested in animal rehabilitation. This video is very helpful and I can’t wait to know what happens! I hope she and Huckleberry can be friends!
So glad you are able to help her! Massive props to the hikers for being so diligent. And massive props to you guys for everything you’ve been through with this little one! It’s such a bummer that she can’t be released. But at least she’s alive with a good quality of life!!
It’s so frustrating the limitations about crossing state lines. There’s a beaver rescue/rehab lady in New York who would have been willing to take a second one at the time of her first rescue but they couldn’t bring any across state lines and none in the state. I’m sure it’s the same now. It’s so much better when they’re raised with fellow kits…
Jessi I want you to know that I recently started working at Petsmart in pet care and your videos have helped me educate people SO MUCH. I always make sure the animals at my store are pampered and cared for, and that anyone who comes in looking for a pet knows how to properly give them a healthy and happy life. I can refuse sale of an animal for any reason, and have quite a few times if I believe it's the wrong home for them (i spend so much time with them I get super protective!!). Thank you for being an educational ambassador for ALL animals and the people who love them ❤
AAAAAH!!!! Piya is too cute. You are beautiful. Everyone at AWM. You are decent and kind and wonderful. Thank you for sharing this update about the lil flat-tail!!
Never thought I'd be on the edge of my seat waiting to learn the future of a baby orphaned beaver i saw on youtube but here we all are lol! you guys are the best !!
Aw Jessie, thank you for making this wonderful video of Pya's journey. Videos like this helps us understand the challenges of rescuing wildlife, and also shows how resilient you and your staff are, taking care of animals in need. Your YT videos introduced me to your amazing organization, I hope others can share, donate, or join the Animal Wonders Patreon page so you can help even more animals in need!❤️💕🦫
Oh my heart! But now she has a family with the other animals at Animal Wonders! Here's hoping she thrives, and becomes an ambassador for her species! Thanks so much, Jessi and friends
This was an epic story, what a fascinating and extremely beautiful species! Thank you for a wonderful explanation, may this little baby thrive and live a full life❤🙏🦫
Those folks were so good to rescue the little guy and even try introducing him to nearby beaver family. That would be so cool if she and Huckleberry can be pals--crossing my fingers.
Yay baby beaver Pya/Pia!! (you'll have to let us know the correct spelling!) I love that every photo of her on the scales she's in the same position, holding her treat with those adorable little paws & happily nom-nomming away - just ever-so-slightly bigger & healthier! Thanks for sharing her warts-&-all story of rescue & recovery to now... hopefully her human carers can take a breath & AWM can stand down from Animal Emergency Level 5 for a bit 🤎🐾 _Edit: is the high number of orphaned kits this year unusual? (eg. an environmental issue) Or is there a seasonal rise in rescues every year?_
I have 3 senior cats (one with asthma) that are difficult to take care of at times. I can't even imagine the effort it takes to care for a non-domesticated animal.
If you found her yourself and then happened upon the other beaver family, would you have done the same, or is there a safer way to find out if they were her family?
Comparing the size of the babies is a good first step. Also, just knowing that she was too small be even be able to get out of her lodge is a great indicator that she was displaced from her family, and if you don't see an adult beaver close to her then the likelihood that the parents were trapped is high. There is also the slight chance that a baby would be removed from the lodge at this young age if the parents think they are doing poorly. Sometimes I wonder if this is what happened with Huckleberry, but that's not something we'll ever know.
Maybee Jessie have to visit Huckleberry more regularly together with Piya... So that he'll get used to her, and that they can interact in an controlled environment... And hopefully he'll see her as his adopted daughter... But, who knows.
In the intergalactic ranking of the most beautiful and cutest baby animals (I am the only one entitled to vote), the first is the baby prairie dog. There, this little beaver is easily positioned in 3rd place, because the second place is still the baby prairie dog (another one pup obviously, i'm not cheater).
If you introduce Piya and Huckleberry, and they end up bonding, what will you do if you get a call back from a rehab center or zoo, saying they now have space? It's probably too late for her to be released, but do you think you would give her up to someplace else with more room, and save your space for a possible future beaver with a health condition?
We'll do whatever is best for her ❤ A larger amount of space would for sure be good. Release is less and less likely the more she's habituated to humans and gets comfortable in front of more and more humans.
To try to keep OSHA off your backs, including the vet....I know you can't always hold wild patients with the lead gloves, but the human hands directly in the x-ray beam are a huge no-no. Even inside the gloves, hands shouldn't be directly in the beam, the gloves are only meant to protect against scattered radiation outside the main beam. But, draping an empty glove over your hands will at least provide some protection. Ideally, you should be collumating the beam so that it covers only the part of the patient you need to see, in this case the chest, and your hands are safely out of the way. X-ray machines are made with dials to adjust the width and length of the beam, so you only irradiate the area you actually need to. A third person could be trained to collumate pretty quickly, put gloves over hands, and either step out of the room or duck behind one of the holders (and the lead apron they are presumably wearing) so you can quick take the image. I love all that you do, including your vet, and would hate to see any of you get in trouble! (And until then, cropping the image to only show the chest would at least avoid the OSHA problem...but the rules are there for very good reasons!)
I know you're talking about a beaver if you're not then I'm confuse what you're talking about anyways i Love animals and I want to meet some of your reptiles OK

Completely agree
major props to the hikers that found Pya! they handled such an alarming and strange situation very well
Hear hear! There's not many people who would go to all the trouble of chasing down an available wildlife carer on a Friday night, then try to reunite her with a nearby beaver family _AND_ stay to check she was OK... let alone fish little Pya back out of the river when she wasn't OK & care for her until the experts arrived.

Not going to lie, I hope her introduction to Huckleberry goes well, then they can be Huckleberry Pya (Pie)
Poor baby. That whimper is heartbreaking. Such a pudgy little child.
Her whimper made me wish I could reach into the vid and cuddle her 💔 🥺
"Probiotic poop slurry syringe" is one hell of a combination of words. 😶 But I'm happy to see Pya doing so well! That was a scary beginning for her life.
Definitely a brand new sentence! lol
I’m in Vet Tech school and I’m interested in animal rehabilitation. This video is very helpful and I can’t wait to know what happens! I hope she and Huckleberry can be friends!
She coudnt befriend hucklberry, so she befriended Justin, a different beaver
So glad you are able to help her! Massive props to the hikers for being so diligent. And massive props to you guys for everything you’ve been through with this little one! It’s such a bummer that she can’t be released. But at least she’s alive with a good quality of life!!
Your segues to your sponsors are absolutely incredible. I never see them coming.
😄
I follow a beaver rescue TikTok and it's so sweet to see the little beaver she's raising building dams all over her house.
thank you for rescuing these animals.. people like you are angels on earth.
Aaaa! Cliffhanger!! 😄 She really is adorable, and I wish her all the best, whether at AWM or another facility. She'll be a great ambassador!
There's a difference between rescusing and helping hurt animals, and capturing animals at a zoo, she helps them ❤️
It’s so frustrating the limitations about crossing state lines. There’s a beaver rescue/rehab lady in New York who would have been willing to take a second one at the time of her first rescue but they couldn’t bring any across state lines and none in the state. I’m sure it’s the same now. It’s so much better when they’re raised with fellow kits…
You are a great narrator. You explain the good and bad and the do's and don'ts in an interesting and positive way. Keep up your great work ❤️

Dang that's a journey but what great work you folks do! Hats off.
I remember when huckleberry was a baby, still love that fussy baby beaver sond its the best .
AAAAAH!!!! Piya is too cute.
You are beautiful. Everyone at AWM. You are decent and kind and wonderful. Thank you for sharing this update about the lil flat-tail!!
Never thought I'd be on the edge of my seat waiting to learn the future of a baby orphaned beaver i saw on youtube but here we all are lol! you guys are the best !!
I remember when huckleberry was basically that tiny
I used some baby Huckleberry footage in the video! He was even smaller than Piya when she came in and he was fluffier.

I knew you’d be doing everything to give paya the best life possible. But it’s always nice to see!
Ya'll are more than Wonderful!!! Keep Up The Great Work!!❤😊
So glad she's feeling better!
best wishes for this baby beaver! thank you for all you guys do for these animals!
I hope Pya will be well, and her introduction to Huckleberry goes well.💕
Oh, I hope she and Huckleberry get along! I wanna see some adorable Huckleberry Paya!
How unfortunate but fortunate for such a chance human beaver relationship. Wow ♡cool transformation 🐹✨
I am so happy that pya is safe with you guys!
So glad that she’s doing better 🥰
Wow,what a story!!!So interesting. Thank you!!But where did she go?
This beaver looks so cute just I would love to work for an animal rescue organization in the future
I have 3 senior cats (one with asthma) that are difficult to take care of at times. I can't even imagine the effort it takes to care for a non-domesticated animal.
Another Animal Wonders cutie ❤️🙂✌️
Love the video and sponsor!
The look on Huckleberrys face in the video you used 😂😂 best poop donor❤
Oh no! Cliffhanger!
Lol! Every day has been a cliffhanger for us! 😅
Awesome job!
Poor baby!! 🥺

@@animalwondersmontana Thank you!! Love your work
I would love to see a play date/ interaction between a beaver and a platypus.
'Orphan Baby Beaver Boom' is one unexpected tongue twister
I wonder if there's a reason behind all the baby beavers showing up in rehabs or if it's just a coincidence?
Beavers are so cute and their sounds are very cute I would love to hold one
I can’t wait to see her introduced to huckleberry.
I hope pya is ok now!
👍 nice work
Please let us know how the introduction with Huckleburry is going
6:45 Everywhere was full of beavers
My hopes are so high that Huckleberry gets along with her 😭.
Maybee Jessie have to visit Huckleberry more regularly together with Piya... So that he'll get used to her, and that they can interact in an controlled environment... And hopefully he'll see her as his adopted daughter... But, who knows.
That whimper was so sad
Yay Pia update
Yeah Pya!

So beavers DO eat wood?

Not to be dramatic but I would die for a baby beaver if I needed to 🥺
I need an update :')
I had a goat that died of bloat :'(
Nice woman !
I think it’s important to take care of your beaver
I love this on epic on school
Coprophagia would make a great name for a punk band.
I know you're talking about a beaver if you're not then I'm confuse what you're talking about anyways i Love animals and I want to meet some of your reptiles OK
Beaver baby boomer and poops
Hi
You’re gonna need to give Huckleberry abstinence training
Probably more like spay/neuter
L
Thanks!
