Vancouver Island Marmots eating at a supplemental feeder

Supplemental feeders help Vancouver Island marmots recover and maintain body condition. These marmots typically lose about 30% of their body weight each year during hibernation. Female marmots then mate and give birth, placing even demands on their body's limited reserves.
Supplemental feeding provides a high quality food boost, and may help female marmots produce more pups by improving their body condition. The feeders also make a great place to monitor the marmots.
