You just never know what a day will bring. 😞 So

You just never know what a day will bring. 😞 Sophia had to be rushed to an emergency vet visit yesterday. She woke up with a full crop, dark floppy comb, seemed uncomfortable and was unmotivated to eat breakfast. The emergency vet was able to flush a mass out of her crop (several times) and she was sent home with antibiotics we will administer 2x / day. Once Sophia was home, she perked up a bit and had some moist layer feed with best friends. 🥪

We are hoping this impacted crop isn’t due to any underlying reproductive issues, but we will try to rule any other possibilities out in the coming weeks. Please send healing vibes. 😓

The staff at the veterinary hospital loved Sophia and thought she was just the sweetest. They’re right. 😍

Feel better, our brave girl. 🏆

Thank you to Jen and Joni from @moms4momsvendoreve

Thank you to Jen and Joni from @moms4momsvendorevents for choosing us as their beneficiary last month at Veggie Fair 2022 in Aurora. 🌱 Another big thank you to everyone who bid in the silent auction and stopped by to chat at our table. Moms4Moms was able to raise $845 (!!) for the care of our residents at the sanctuary. We are grateful for your support as a growing non-profit. 🥰

As of today, Monarchs have officially been listed

As of today, Monarchs have officially been listed as an endangered species according to science-based, independent organization IUCN. 😔 Climate change, habitat loss, and toxic farming practices have all contributed to this horrific decline in Monarch population. 📉

How can you begin to help? Check out our To-do list. ☑️

Just this morning, we just found a “chunky” little pollinator munching away on some of our Swamp Milkweed. Mm, breakfast! 🥞

In the photos, we have also included some ideas of pretty cool native nectar sources we have here at Mystery Meadows. They provide delicious nourishment for Monarchs along their journey.

Can we count you in for our events in 2023?! If you’re feeling inspired, keep an eye out for more info over the coming months.

Have any questions? Reach out to us- we’d love to help. 🖤
