Our Sanctuary Wishlist
If you are planning on visiting the area, you can bring the items along with you. However, if you would like to donate while you are still in the U.S., please contact us here and we will send you our latest shipping address (which changes based on who is heading down to Costa Rica at any given time). We thank you for your support of the sanctuary!
Enrichment
OurPets IQ Treat Ball Interactive Food Dispensing Dog Toy – this increases foraging time for our animals and helps prevent boredom
Kong Classic Dog Toy (the “extreme” version is preferable as many of our animals have sharper teeth than your average dog)
JW Pet Invincible Chains Rubber Dog Toy – Boogie the tayra’s favorite!
Children’s hammock for the monkeys – they love to sleep in them, and easy-to-clean ones are best (not cloth)
Green slow feeder – small for the squirrel monkeys and regular for capuchins to increase foraging time
Medical/Nursery
Gummy Vitamins — Children’s Chewable Vitamins
Culturelle — Kids Chewables Daily Probiotic Formula or Kids Packets Daily Probiotic Formula
Paws & Pals Dog Crate Double-Door Folding Metal - Wire Cage w/ Divider for Training Pets – these large crates provide our babies with plenty of room to explore and play while still keeping them safe
Choco Nose H128 Patented No Drip Small Animal Water Bottle.– these are used to provide babies with a constant supply of water that they can't dirty by playing in (which they love to do)
Goat's Milk Esbilac – We depend on this to provide milk to our baby animals, many of which cannot safely ingest cow's milk
Squirrels & More Miracle Nipple Collection – basically, small nipples that fit on syringes so we can feed our small animals
Squirrels & More Syringes–“slip tip”, both 5mL and 10mL syringes. These are the syringes that are specifically made for nipple-feeding small and baby animals.
Squirrels & More Catac Nipples & Foster Bottles – the ST1 nipple to feed and hydrate small animals and babies. The ST1 nipples are appropriate to use on the syringes, and thus the size we most often need.
Squirrels & More Fecal Diagnostic Kit – these are important when we need to collect fecal samples for our vet to run diagnostics. Fecal samples can give us a lot of information, including parasite presence or if an animal is pregnant.
Flexible Coflex, 1” and 2” – if you can find the ½”, we use that in birds.
20 oz. formula mixer bottle – the milk we feed our babies is actually compromised of many different components to make sure every animal is getting the appropriate nutrients for their species, age, health, and more. These formula mixers make it easier to make
Colostrum oral gel 30mL – important in providing newborn infants with nutrients its mother would usually be providing
Small animal carry bonding pouch
