Black Bear Awakening

25 orphaned Black Bear cubs hibernated successfully at NLWS this winter. Now they are awake and getting ready for release in June of 2021.

In the wild when bears emerge from hibernation their first food source is the new spring growth. In our care we try to follow nature as much as possible so we start with greens such as lettuce, spinach and kale.

As they get more active we add higher calorie feeds such as root vegetables and apples. It usually takes a few weeks before we introduce sweet berries, grapes, avocado, meat and fish.
