Bear's regular diet

Bear cubs are born in January or February, about the size of a hamster, except they are hairless and helpless. The mother bear carefully keeps the cubs close to her while they are in the winter den

Vet carrying a little bear

Orphan cubs need specialized care.  Many are received as yearlings and some need veterinary attention. Most yearlings that are in need of care arrive under weight, weak, and in some cases need veterinary attention. The Algonquin Animal Hospital - Huntsville and the Parry Sound Animal Hospital - Parry Sound are a great asset in giving bears the needed medical attention as required
