On March 5, 2016 Critter Care got a call from a guy in Nelson who found two Black Bear cubs with no mom in sight. After notifying Conservation Officers and arranging with the airlines they were put on the next flight from Nelson to Vancouver. March 6, 2016 the cubs were admitted to Critter Care, the twin brothers came in at 4 weeks old weighing in at two and three pounds. Kenai (the older brother) came in with eyes partially open and Koda (the younger brother) was completely eyes closed. They were fed every four hours for the first week, as they got older feeds slowly started to drop. By the end of March they were both eyes open and starting to tumble around as they found their feet. They ventured outside for the first time the first week of April and by mid-April they were starting to climb stumps and logs. Once they found their balance they were unstoppable!
