Taking the whole animal as well as the nature of its kind into consideration guides us in how to best steward each animal in our care.
The foundation of holistic stewardship is a species appropriate diet and lifestyle – including living in a pack/herd/flock/colony etc as appropriate, on clean ground, with access to fresh air and sunshine, clean pure water and appropriate exercise and attention, interaction and affection with a caring steward.
Following the laws of nature may seem contradictory to modern beliefs about wellness, which are heavily clouded by unnatural fear but trusting in the natural laws and raising our animals accordingly produces a vital, balanced immune system and a long, healthy life! If any of our animals ever get out of balance, we support their body’s healing process naturally.
