Why Most Animal Rescues Fail (And How We Made It 25 Years)

Описание: It’s February 1st, 2026, and we’re starting the day with fresh snow at The 10 Acre Woods in Anola, Manitoba. Join Mark and Tara for a full winter morning routine on the farm, from feeding ponies, goats, sheep, rabbits, and ducks to checking on barn systems, Wi-Fi cameras, and animal health.

We talk about:

How close spring really is 🌱
Bunny tracks and barn wildlife
Winter barn heating, airflow, and fire safety
Pony coat issues, itching, and eye care
Feeding fruits, veggies, grains, and treats
Berry the Continental Giant rabbit
25 years of The 10 Acre Woods
Why most rescues fail—and how to start small
Large animal seizures and rehab work
Sheldon’s incredible story of survival
Winter duck care (yes… duck butts ❄️🦆)
Groundhog Day and early spring predictions

If you’re new here—welcome! We’ve been documenting farm life and animal rescue for over a decade, sharing real experiences, hard lessons, and lots of heart.
