How has your first Baby Warm incubator helped you?
Our first Baby Warm incubator has been a tremendous help and undoubtedly saved many fragile lives! We have incubated babies of many species so far, including opossums, squirrels, parrots, monkeys, and more. We have also used it for several critical care patients whose body temperatures needed regulating during metabolic crashes (several howler monkeys, a sea gull, and a royal tern). None of this would have been possible before we had our Baby Warm incubator.
How will this additional incubator help?
With the rate at which our rescue center is growing, we have lots of animals in need of incubation at the same time. Right now, we are getting into "baby season" for many species here in Costa Rica, so we're expecting an even bigger influx of patients soon. Our first Baby Warm incubator is currently being shared between 3 animals! A second incubator would give us more space to incubate different species at once, and it would be incredibly helpful to have a portable incubator we could use on the go, as many of our rescues require at least an hour's drive!
