He was found out in the open, lying on the ground, in an urban area.
00:09
It's fairly common, unfortunately, with these guys.
00:13
He was the smallest bush baby I've ever seen.
00:15
He only weighed nine grams when he came in.
00:18
I always think of the tiny bush babies as little baby yodas because they have enormous
00:24
eyes and ears and this big round face.
00:30
As babies they're almost bald, so they look quite alien-like.
00:38
But he was a special case because he was so tiny and we all kind of just fell in love
00:42
with him when we first saw him.
00:44
Initially I was quite concerned because he was so small.
00:48
He wasn't doing much, he slept most of the time.
00:53
After about a week or two he started growing really nicely, he almost doubled in weight
00:58
and he was drinking really well and looking strong and moving around.
01:01
So by that point I felt a lot more optimistic that he was going to make it.
01:06
He was alone for quite a while, which is unfortunate for them because they're fairly social and
01:10
it's really good for them to have siblings to grow up with.
01:17
Around two to three weeks old he started getting more adventurous and exploring a bit more
01:21
and being willing to sniff and hop around a bit.
01:29
Because they're primates they have hands that look very similar to ours but they've got
01:33
very powerful hind legs.
01:34
They can jump very far distances, especially for their small size.
01:39
Once they reach a certain age you can kind of see the light bulb go off and they realise
01:43
that this is something they can do.
01:46
When the second bush baby came there was a bit of a risk initially of introducing them
01:51
in that Pebble might be a bit too boisterous, but it was actually the other way around.
01:56
He was a bit terrified of the new one.
01:59
But within a couple of days they were snuggling together.
02:02
I'd already had Pebble for about three months when he went to his soft release.
02:07
You need time to adjust and learn skills like hunting insects before they can actually be
02:13
fully released.
02:16
So we put them up in a big enclosure outside in the bush.
02:21
He's going to stay there over winter until the first rains come.
02:25
He is now in a group of five and they're all getting on very well.
02:29
They all sleep together in a tiny little house during the day even though they have lots
02:33
of sleeping options.
02:37
Once they go off in spring they should form a little family group and they should start breeding.
