"Garrett", "Maverick", & Cleo ...Ferrets...

We maintain one of every color- sable, silver tipped, and albino. All are friendly and safe with anyone. Very intelligent animals with the ability to learn almost any behavior a dog can be taught...




	"Ramsey" Male Raccoon ... and a super friendly one - so far. He's young and HUGE and his demeanor could change but so far we couldn't be having a better time with Ramsey.


	"Elvis" Male Red Kangaroo who was born in December of 2001 and arrived at Wild Things 0n 2/1/2002. So you Kangaroo lovers keep checking back with us for his debut photo. This is the definition of cute!!!

"Theador" male Mara Patagonian Cavy

The definition of oddball, came to us to work in our educational program and prove to all that there are animals out there they never knew existed. He does a good job! Kind of half rabbit / half wallaby...

"Barbie" female African Crested Porcupine

A newcomer but boy are we having a good time. Friendly around all and learning to travel quickly.

"Cloey" two toed sloth

A very special and unusual creature. Very friendly and unique. A "must see to believe". This animal spends its life upside down. Cloey has appeared in several feature films as well as the TV show BORN FREE. She also made a guest appearance on Jay Leno's Tonight Show.




		Arrived at Wild Things 2/5 at 7 months old. What a SWEETHEART !!!


		"Maizy" female Kinkajou And has literally moved right into the hearts of anyone and everyone who meets her. Just simply a wonderful animal!

"Guido & Pierre" male Ring Tailed Lemurs

They're actually primates but seem to fit into our oddball page also... visit our primate page for more on these two little fellas.

"Lucy" female Coati

just 7 weeks old on 8/12/04, Lucy is our newest arrival and what a charachter. PERSONALITY PLUS!!! We sure hope she stays this way.


	"Harley" female Bennets Wallaby Born with a deformed tail that bends the tail 90 degrees like a kick stand, we had to have her... Another hero in our education program, rumor has it she will grow into those feet and that head. WHAT A CUTIE !!!

		"Mario" male Tamandua (lesser anteater) Mario arrived at Wild Things in January of 2005. He was two yrs. old when we got him so we were a bit worried about if he would allow us to handle him but he soon set our fears to rest. What a sweetie! A wonderful addition to our educational program & family.




			8/2004

"Sugar Baby" female Sugar Glider

This little misfit was brought in by an individual who had her illegally. Although they are extremely cute, we strongly urge folks not to keep illegal pets for if caught by the authorities, the fate of the animal is often bleak. Don't forget you can always enjoy such animals by visiting Wild Things

"Pete & Re-Pete" Male Hedgehogs

Again, refuge pets from an illegal owner but fortunately, we were able to adopt them and enroll them in our educational programs.

"Chip and Dale" Male Capybaras

Newcomers to our education program in 2008, we're hoping these two will stand as proud examples of the largest rodents in the world...

"Ed" Hyena

Male or female still undetermined...

Well, it just doesn't get any more oddball than this! What a treat. An opportunity arose to adopt an orphaned hyena from Africa and we grabbed it ~ and what a treat its been. Unlike any relationship we've ever had with any other kind of animal. They're not a cat, they're not a dog, and the boys and girls have the same anatomy. WOW. He's born black and turns yellow and black stripped and spotted. We'll definitely keep you posted on Ed. Be sure to check back, we might even have to dedicate a page to this guy ~ or gal ... ???

Feb. 2007

An update in June of 2007. As you can see, Ed is changing colors and starting to develop his spots and stripes he is so named for.

Personality wise, he is still the love of our lives but he's getting much more ambitious, far less intimidated by strange people and strange things. He plays a little rougher with his mouth but our fingers are crossed that we'll be able to keep him handleable, a difficult task with captive raised hyenas.

Left: Sept. of 2007 - and Ed is still doing great but what a handful! 100% energy! You simply can not wear him out. He is still one of the greatest challenges we've ever worked with at Wild Things and we're still lovin every minute of it.

Rt.: December of 2007 - 80+ lbs. and growing like a weed. To answer your question? NO, he hasn't slowed down a bit! Yes, we're still lovin every minute of it. Ed's wish list has allot of toys on it because THEY DON'T LAST LONG WITH HIM!!!




		3/08. CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS GUY??? HE JUST KEEPS GROWING AND GROWING AND GROWING ...


	BIG CATS - SML. CATS - BEARS - BIRDS - REPTILES - HOOFSTOCK - ODDBALLS - DOMESTICS - PRIMATES
