“Yummmm!”

“I love Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom sugar-free popsicles!”

“Mmm sugar-free is still delicious!”

One of their favorite treats, especially on a muggy day like today, is sugar-free popsicles.

Baby Camel is 5 Months Old!

Baby Miley is now 5 months old. She weighs around 230 pounds. She is slowly being weaned off her bottle and now only receives one a day. She is okay with this process and sometimes doesn’t want any formula at all. She is still enjoying her walks around the Zoo, but it takes her a little while to settle down. Miley enjoys playing with the keepers’ tools while they try to clean the exhibit. Keepers enjoy it less. They have given her a few toys to play with including a ball and boxes.
