Luna continues to challenge our staff on new and innovative ways to deliver 40 grams of nutritional supplement. At this point, the new protocol includes offering her a tray of meat varieties to see what she's willing to eat on a given day, then once she's committed to eating, the supplement is hidden in several meatballs. Patience and time are the requirement for this job. Luna continues to enjoy the larger carcass feedings on Saturday night as well as a mid-week feeding of beaver or moose heads. We have been a bit challenged in the recent heat spell, with the growth of her winter pelage, the black color phase definitely heats up faster than the other wolves. Luna took her first swim in the pond, which is good for cooler as well as muscle development. She is gaining weight, but definitely slowed down when temperatures reached the high 80's again. Luna is far more active in both feeding and interactions on cooler days.
