Wandering around HESC during the day
Wandering around HESC during the day

It has been a busy time at the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre (HESC). Surrogate mom Esmé, along with faithful Pedi sheep companions Mielie and Liquorice, have been diligently making sure that the calves go about their business in an orderly fashion.

Each morning, they are let out of the boma to enjoy their time wandering around the Centre or lie down under the shade of the trees to take a nap – a favourite pastime. They also love to hang around the carport area where the safari vehicles are parked that take the visitors on their daily tours.

All the calves are growing up fast, with Thaba and Mango now being considered the oldest in the group. Bula is fully weaned and received his final milk feed on the 30th of September last year. Peter is now down to a single milk feed per day of 6 litres (around 1.58 gallons). He will be weaned in February.

Angie is still enjoying all her milk feeds, so no signs of any weaning just yet.

While the milk feeds are getting less, the lucerne and teff requirements are increasing. Rhinos are rather large and require an equally large amount of food to keep them going.

We are grateful to you, our faithful donors. Thanks to your generosity, we can continue to keep our rhinos’ tummies full.

We look forward to bringing you more developments as they happen – but in the meantime, please continue to follow us on our social media platforms, where we post regular updates.
