点评:I had the most wonderful experience at Cuddly Colony! Spencer and her husband do incredible work rescuing and rehabilitating sugar gliders; animals that, sadly, are often misunderstood and not well cared for as pets. Their focus on education and welfare really shines through, and I loved that everything was done entirely on the animals' terms.
My friend and I learned so much during our visit. The experience was meant to be forty-five minutes, but since Spencer and I both work in animal rescue, we couldn't stop chatting and ended up staying nearly two hours!
The sugar gliders were adorable. They snuggled in their pouches on our laps and popped their tiny heads out for treats.
It's the kind of animal encounter I wish there were more of: compassionate, educational, and respectful. I left feeling inspired, informed, and completely smitten.
(Oh, and meeting Chuck and Squab, Spencer's rescue dogs, was the extra highlight I didn't know I needed!)
翻译:我在Cuddly Colony度过了一段美好的时光!Spencer和她的丈夫在救助和康复蜜袋鼯方面做得非常出色;可惜的是,蜜袋鼯常常被误解,作为宠物也得不到很好的照顾。他们对动物教育和福利的重视令人印象深刻,我尤其喜欢他们完全以动物的意愿为出发点。
我和朋友在参观过程中学到了很多。原本体验时间是45分钟,但因为我和Spencer都在动物救助领域工作,我们聊个不停,最后待了将近两个小时!
蜜袋鼯们太可爱了。它们蜷缩在我们腿上的育儿袋里,时不时探出小脑袋来讨要零食。
我希望这样的动物互动体验能更多一些:充满爱心、寓教于乐、尊重动物。离开时,我感到深受启发,收获颇丰,并且彻底被蜜袋鼯迷住了。
(哦,还有见到斯宾塞收养的狗狗查克和斯夸布,这真是个意想不到的惊喜!)
