Petunia, Tulip and Stormy. Happy Friday!

Edit** Beavers are not “obligate” noctural species. This means they dont have specific physical adaptations requiring them to be active at night. They have horrible eyesight day or night and rely on hearing and smell. They are nocturnal in areas that have day time predators. The only real day time predator in MS are human. In areas where they dont have hunting pressure, they are comfortable being active day or night. Our rehab babies like to be active from 3-4 pm until midnight. Stormy came out at 9 pm and went to sleep at 5 am.
Thank you Neil, Michael, Laura and Lenora for the thoughtful and very helpful donations! We are preparing for grading and fencing of the “beaver paddock”. This fenced area close to the barn will be used for multiple purposes including being a secondary containment for the beaver enclosures, have a large yard play area and a small mud puddle/mini pond. We will have to move Stormy to another part of the yard to do it. Giving her a few more days of consistency before that.
I broke my microphone 😩 I’m working on finding a tougher one. Sorry for the sound quality.
Great news! Stormy’s blood is just indicating malnutrition and exhaustion. Dr’s orders are to rest and eat. It may take a few months, we don’t know how fast beavers put weight back on, but then we can assess her for release. The other factor we have is that she is alone and that is never good for a beaver in an unknown territory. We will evaluate the situation to see if Stormy, Petunia and Tulip are compatible for becoming a group. I got some night footage of Stormy and let’s just say sweet potatoes are becoming a favorite!
Petunia is perfect and Tulip is too!

Fantastic to see Stormy on the night vision camera, eating and grooming and being interested in her environment. Along with the news that she has no really serious health issues to contend with, my hopes for her full recovery have just shot up 100%. Thank you Holley.

[@deannamunro8148]

nothing sweeter than a baby sleeping!

[@jeanine1410]

Thank you Holley and Family. So glad to see Stormy grooming herself a bit, she is looking good, thanks to all.

[@beeble2003]

Stormy looks like she's doing better and starting to take care of herself.

[@ulexite-tv]

Stormy is looking good on night vision. Hurray!

[@mllewendy1]

Protective puppy! ❤

LOVE THAT PAETUNIA PLAYING WITH Her Favorite Toys.!🦫🦫🦫🦫🦫🦫🦫😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@LChalifoux]

So cool to see what Stormy gets up to at night! Great to see her grooming. 🌪️🦫 For some reason I got the really strong impression today that Princess Tulip seems like a more grown-up beaver. I can't point to anything specific, she's just as affectionate and playful - probably it's entirely my imagination. 🌷🦫 Baby Petunia is really strong for such tiny beaver! So sweet that she has a canine nanny. 🏵️🦫 🌪️🦫💕 🏵️🦫💕 🌷🦫💕 💚💕 💙💕

[@heatherjones6647]

Stormy has enough energy to groom now!

[@birbluv9595]

Oh my, Petunia playing with her plushies and then sleeping on them 💕💕💕💕 She’s the cutest fuzzy little baby! Tulip doing her laps - and maybe getting a bigger pool? But Stormy! Sleeping during the day, but so active at night! It’s great to see her eating, and even grooming herself! Thank heavens the bloodwork came back fine, except for the malnutrition and exhaustion that we already knew she suffered from! She’s going to be fine, after she has a big long rest and lots of good food! It would be nice if the three females got along and could be released together. I agree that Stormy should not be out there alone again. She had a horrible experience and should be with “family” from now on. I still haven’t heard from the emergency vet hospital about how to donate.

[@bmyra]

I didn't know you had a night cam. So many encouraging events on there: eating, grooming, curiosity, sniffing. Bright eyed and bushy tailed. Not the listless disengaged look from earlier. I wonder if she can hear her neighbor chatterbox Tulip, and if thats comforting to her.

[@gfriedman99]

Are the enclosures next to each other?

[@mom.left.me.at.michaels9951]

​@@gfriedman99 I'm not sure but if I recall Holly doesn't have tons of space outdoors so most likely. Definitely close enough to hear and smell her at the very least. ❤

[@gfriedman99]

@@mom.left.me.at.michaels9951 Oh that's good! Tulip is probably telling her all about the great food especially the bananas at club muraco. lol.

[@stardust949]

It's very satisfying and a relief to witness Stormy slowly coming out of shock. What an amazing journey you're on with all this rehabbing!

[@beckyl1090]

So good to see Stormy grooming!

[@margaretgarls153]

Stormy is definitely making herself at home. Love precious Petunia-so sweet! Tulip is devoted to her Mom! Happy Friday 😊 !

[@maudessen573]

So good to see Stormy’s great appetite and normal nocturnal behavior. I bet she’ll build herself back up in no time.

[@Dreamer-fz7lg]

Stormy is very lucky that she came to you! I wish her a speedy full recovery!

[@judys5638]

Such a sweet video of your three guests, thank you for sharing Holley🇨🇦♥️🦫

[@cookthemveggies8155]

That night camera is SOOOO COOL!

[@crumblecrafts2963]

So wonderful to see Stormy being active at night.

[@snowysnowyriver]

I love to hear Tulip crooning. I swear that is her showing affection to Mom! 😊❤ Little Miss Petunia has her own bodyguard already!! 😂 Nobody is going to harm her while her devoted doggo is around! And sweet Stormy Lady tucking into food, little bit of grooming, little bit of exploring..... it's all good. Good news on the blood work too. Have to say it's heartbreaking to see when she grooms how loose her skin is. 😢 Long way to go to double her weight. ❤

[@pezsworld2909]

The way she curls her cute little hand up when she sleeps….ohhhhh just so incredibly precious❣️❣️❣️

[@courtney1709]

They all make my heart melt…❤️🫠🥰

[@carolync7142]

Thank you for sharing the night vision camera of Stormy, its wonderful to see she's eating and grooming. Tulip is adorable and Petunia is so cute 😊

[@AlisonFort]

Night shots of Stormy were great - she’s quite an appetite❤

[@maryfrey]

How wonderful to see sweet Stormy active, eating, curious, and grooming! Way to go, Stormy! 👍 Petunia is hilarious and adorable, and is so blessed to have a fierce guard dog! And Tulip, growing by leaps and bounds and as precious as ever. I love them all. ❤❤❤ Thank you, Holley and family. ❤

[@Hadenufyet]

How cute 🥰. Feel better soon,Stormy ❤❤

[@melissainman9667]

Stormy looks Great!! Due to the incredible loving care she receives. I am a beaver 🦫 lover for life . Thank you Dr. Holley and family ❤❤❤

Happy Friday to you too Holley ❤❤ aww Baby Petunia is having fun and worn out by all her activities, Miss Tulip gorgeous as ever and Stormy eating and night footage is brilliant! Thank you for sharing with us all! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@elfblood9127]

Great video! Thanks for sharing wonderful, classic moments and the night vision peek into Stormy's active side.

[@user-oi6ln4eq7b]

These lucky beavers have more toys than a crèche! Very, very lucky - wonderful.

[@catharinadohrn213]

So good to see Stormy come out at night to groom herself and feed! Tulip now seems positively huge compared to little Petunia!

[@amyhall2202]

Oh so very happy to see that Stormy is grooming and eating and moving around. Bless her heart ❤, Beautiful girl. All these sweet beavers are Beautiful!!! Precious Petunia, love her, she is so adorable and playful!!! Beautiful sweet Tulip, such a vocal girl, her fur is more blonde!!!! Spring/Summer Blonde!!! So full of life, fiesty and ROUND!!!!!!!

[@flok.8317]

My God, can Petunia get any cuter? How is it possible? That shot of Petunia on her side, fast asleep, her little hand curling up... I started melting. As for Petunia's bodyguard... well, we, her fans, are going to sleep tight tonight. It's always fabulous watching Tulip grooming, while making her plaintive little noises... oh, my heart! And that tender moment between mom and Tulip, with Tulip gently nose-kissing mom's cheek... Sigh... so sweet. Beaver rescue is tough work, but it has its amazing perks! And then we got to watch our wonderful Storminette as she munched heartily on sweet potato, as she groomed, and as she explored a bit. That was just incredible to get to witness that, Holley! Oh, what a video! It was just so rewarding, so magical. Thank you!

[@loui1064]

Great news !!! And lol poor Neptune who's trying desperately to access the pineapple bed since Tulip...

So sweet seeing Petunia dreaming blissfully❤

[@rosem6604]

That Petunia, my goodness! So glad she's so well guarded from the dangerous tigers in the house 🥰 So good to actually see Stormy at work and not just the aftermath of the night before. Good for her.

[@squorly]

Petunia's getting bigger. It would be great if Stormy and Tulip could be friends.

[@Maureen-nr7rf]

What a little fur ball 😂 adorable!🥰 I wish I could squeeze them😊

[@user-xo1kt5pc9b]

They all seem to be feeling secure with their surroundings. Thank you Dr. Holley and family providing such a safe and nurturing environment . Michael S.

Wow, the night vision pics are fantastic! Great to see Miss Stormy eating and so active. Sweet potatoes reign supreme! 🍠 🦫👏

Petunia is fierce! That narwhal never had a chance! 🐳🦄🦫 I love Tulip's vocalizations! Stormy looks like she's doing well. So glad to hear Stormy's bloodwork was encouraging!

awwwwe petunia is just a cutey / tulip is a luv muffin / stormy eating and eating and swimming and cuddling : I love the Camera for Stormy ; that worked out well :)

[@user-fs5fh2vz3w]

Look at Petunia, such a fierce girl, like a lion! Those plushies don't stand a chance.

[@pinetree909]

Stormy is so happy with her new home!! She must have been starved. Looks like her weight is normalizing.

Evie just won my heart! I love all animals but dogs are simply amazing. Good girl, Evie!

[@jaykirschenman]

Look what it did to that tie die blanket! The killer instinct is strong with this one.

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

With some ingenuity and your critter cam you could set up a digital scale to see Stormy's weight daily.

[@EMB238]

So nice to visit with the cuties!!! Looks like Stormy might be putting on weight??? 💕

[@EmilyJelsomeno-bi9lc]

Petunia seems so quiet! No baby beaver noises!

[@marybethsinn6792]

Too much sweetness!!!

[@laureltarbis8097]

❤❤Stormy is a MiDNIGHT MUNCHER! 🍎🍌🦫

[@steve10]

Has Tulips fur got lighter ? The dog seeing that the cat was in stalker mode and then scaring the cat off was interesting, thats real maturnal signs over the baby. Stormy eating is great news , having the night camera is fantastic as we can now get to see her. She does look healthier, a bit more weight and she will hopefully feel 100% again. Beavers have become one of my favourite animals now

[@mortalclown3812]

Littlest pup 🐶🩵💪 with a lion's heart, tho we know Neptune's the best 🐈❤ 🌷 Tulip reaching up for a kiss is a calendar page. 🎉❤ Seeing Stormy grooming, eating, getting pets. Thank you, Holley! 🌎🩵🦋🦫🍌🐕🐈🌲🐦🌛✨️🩵

[@another3997]

Thanks for the updates Holley. Petunia is adorable, much like little Tulip. She has so much growing to do, but she couldn't be in better hands. It's good news about Stormy too, so looking forward to seeing his return to full health.

[@joepatriot6431]

She's just so adorable. She seems to be happy with you.

[@johannageisel5390]

Awwww, Petunia is such a fluffy little baby! I wish I could cuddle her! And Tulip is very adamant in her rejection of the camera.

[@jataim4197]

I❤this pup. Ditzy like me 😂

[@SarahKeough-tn1it]

I think tulip is becoming a teenager and she knows there are others like her around. She's kinda saying "I'll help you Mom".

[@jessew8568]

Stormy looks much better at night

[@flok.8317]

Petunia wrestling with the pink and purple penguin? My money was on Petunia from the getgo!

[@gfriedman99]

This cheered me up. The night cam and Stormy news were great. Is Stormy nocturnal? Seems out of the norm.

[@19lilyhudson]

🥰🥰🥰

[@timdowney6721]

The dog likes having a reason to put the cat in its place. 😄

[@johannageisel5390]

I'm so happy to see Stormy eating with such appetite and grooming herself. And am excited for your upcoming attempt at grouping the three. I hope it works out.

[@womanoftorches]

If I were you, Dr. Muraco, I'd just carry Petunia around everywhere LOL

[@sharonj.1240]

Another day in Paradise, right? Petunia sleep = heaven. It's great to see Stormy eating with gusto. He's probably still trying to figure out how he got there!

[@susanh3342]

Yay!!!!Stormy

[@natashaw401]

Beavers nocturnal?

[@shannagardner5322]

What is your stuffed toy budget?

[@Helena-tw7pj]

Petunia is smaller than her toys

[@houston7787]

Как я горжусь тем, что смотрел этот мультсериал в детстве

[@ruthkickinit87]

I am beginning to think petunia had something personal against neptune

[@youtubeobserverz]

Phoebe and Keanu are filing a grievance for not being included in this video, so Dr. Muraco will have to lawyer up... 🥰

[@christinepierce874]

What happened to Turnip and Tater? Did they get relocated to a different rehabber? I love Tulip's personality. She's so animated and upbeat.

[@pamelaparker508]

They escaped , months ago.

[@marissawolff8491]

How do you adopt beavers as pets? Do you need a special licence?

[@bmyra]

They're not pets. This is a rescue op.

[@ogieogie]

You don't keep beavers as pets. They're wildlife only.

[@beeble2003]

They're not pets -- they're wildlife rescues being rehabilitated for release back into the wild.

[@Theguys1]

Yes…they don’t belong in our world. But you could support Holley Rescue.

[@snowysnowyriver]

I don't know how much you know, so apologies if this is redundant information. Beavers are incredibly complex animals with extremely specific environmental and social needs. A fully grown healthy North American beaver weighs up to 70 pounds. They are incredibly strong muscular rodents with chisel-sharp, iron-coated incisor teeth which are 6 inches long and have a bite strength of up to 200psi. The iron content is why beaver teeth are orange in colour. They grow up to 4 feet long (without the tail!). While they are by nature a peaceful and gentle animal, they can be dangerous when they are upset. An angry beaver can (and has) killed human beings. They are not suitable to be kept as pets. Holley's set-up here is rescue and rehab sanctuary, and she is an expert who is supported by a large network of expert support. The three beavers that Holley is looking after here are all young.

When do Tulip and Petunia meet?
