Here are some of the products we use frequently!
Alfafa cubes
Alfalfa Cubes are a huge staple in our ungulates diets and right now we feed these hydrated cubes daily to our Moose Calf and Yearling Deer!
Buying us a bag goes a long way!
Beet pulp
Along with Alfalfa, we supplement our ungulates' diets with hydrated beet pulp and currently use this to feed our Moose Calf and Yearling Deer.
Sweet feed
Loved by our ungulate patients, Sweet Feed is a great supplement for their diet and helps them to put on good weight stores before release in the spring.
Apples
Apples and essentially all fruit are always in high demand as they expire quickly and get ate even faster by our patients. At the moment the most urgent fruit we need are:
- Apples (any kind)
- Salmon Ash Berries (preferably in bushels)
Nutrical Supplement
Due to its expense it is hard to buy in bulk for us but CRUCIAL to our young patients! We add this in young mammals and bird's milk to give them an extra caloric and nutritional boost when they're at their most vulnerable.
Buying us even one tube goes a long way!
Meat
We are ALWAYS happy to accept meat of any kind. Feeding our carnivorous patients is costly and donations are always a huge help. We prefer no ground meat if possible but freezer burnt meat and fish is great!
Hay
Hay is a big expenditure for us at the CEI but a big help! We use Hay not only for substrate for enclosures but we use it to feed our ungulate patients! Whether its a bale or a block we will always use it!
Bleach / Disinfectant Spray
With the number of patients we get in, we are constantly disinfecting to make sure our enclosures are safe for all of our patients. Bleach and Bleach disinfectants run out so quickly and we'd always love more!
Dawn Dish soap
The magic soap! Dawn is what we use to help clean enclosures, patients and all dishes used in the health center for our intakes. Whether its a small bottle or large refill it is so HELPFUL!
Batteries
Want to support the research we do? Currently we are studying bat behavior and we use AA batteries for our bat recorders and sound meters! Batteries go a long way and allow us to continue to do important species research in our area.
32GB+ SD CARDS
Want to support the research we do? Currently we are studying bat behavior and we use 32GB-128GB SD cards for our bat recorders and sound meters! Some recordings are three weeks long and SD cards go a long way and allow us to continue to do important species research in our area.
Chicken Hearts
Our birds of prey need the nutritional value that comes from Chicken hearts! We don't get them in from normal meat donations, if you know of any please don't hesitate to donate!
