Jessi takes you along on one of her Night Rounds for the nocturnal animals. Doing regular Rounds to check in on the animals is essential for monitoring their health and observing their behavior. Caring for nocturnal species means that Rounds must be done even through the night.

When you said Ophelia was old I was like, "What?! She's a baby!" I still remember when you first got her when she was so small.
Sadly Virginia Oppossums like Ophelia have an average wild lifespan of 2 years and captive lifespan is around 3-4 years. there have been rare cases of them doubling that, so Ophelia might live a while yet! but she is definitely at a happy and comfortable old age.
😄😄😄
And 😫😫😫
When do you sleep Jessi?? I'm convinced there's at least three of you to get everything done that you do.
She has a couple of employees, interns and volunteers. The other staff are probably rotating with her
@@HercadosP would you be scared to check up on a laurel at night because they are aggressive at night time and bite
Thanks for taking us along. I really appreciate how you showcase the hard work that is involved in carrying for these friends. My wife is a wildlife rehabber for a non-profit, and it breaks our hearts how often exotic animals are abandoned by people that carelessly tried to keep them as novel pets without realizing the level of dedication required.
Seraphina has such a pretty voice. I’m curious what a timelapse of her day would look like.
I do think that's a catchy title for a children's book: Ophelia the Opossum Burped!
Oh man... When you were giving Seraphina her skritches she looked so comfortable and happy.
Seraphina's vocalizations were fascinating to me, and she seems very happy! That's the ultimate compliment, I think, for the work you all do.
Thank you for the video Animal Wonders!
Not to be dramatic but Ophelia the Opossum is the cutest creature in the whole wide world and I would do anything for her 😍😭💜
I love that you show us this. I love that anybody that comes to check out your channel is gonna find out at every turn just how much dedication and work it takes to really care for an animal. It's wonderful to learn what these incredible creatures are like, and what they need, and how they live. Even the sad stories are wonderful because they show how much YOU care, and also helps folks learn and accept that if you're caring for an animal - exotic or not - sometimes, there will be sadness. Animal Wonders is a treasure!
The amount of respect you give to the animals makes me give you my utmost respect!
It was great to see the difference with the sugar gliders, they're way more active here than in most of the daytime videos!
I loved their prison break attempt! lol
Opossums are my favorite animal and seeing Ophelia literally made me cry she’s so precious
How cute! Love seeing these type of animals. I wish the fox had a friend. He seems a bit lonely
We wish she had a companion too! We've gone through several attempts at getting her a good match, but sadly none have worked out. We'll keep trying though!
When I grow up I wanna work there it’s sounds super fun seeing adorable animals everyday rescuing them and caring for them!!!
I was wondering if you could explain how you schedule the day and night rounds since the more you post the more it seems like you do not have time to sleep let alone take a small break haha. You guys are fantastic, hope everything is going well for both you and the animals!
Do you ever get overwhelmed by the cute? I'm certain I would! It's amazing how much Sera seems to act like a "normal" dog.
My heart bursts multiple times a day from the cuteness!
@@animalwondersmontana same
Me to
Jessie really enjoyed the night view. The animals were all just adorable. Loved at the end when you went back to Ophelia. She was so cute laying on her blanket with her head on her paws. That was a picture moment. Thanks for sharing and all that you guys do for these wonderful animals. Blessings!
I love seeing how active animals like this get at night! I keep my 3 female mice and my leopard gecko in my room so that I'm able to see what they're up to at night when they're super active. I've noticed so many behaviors I wouldn't have if I wasn't constantly seeing them at night 😄
It's so good to see all these animals who are normally sleeping during the day! It's nice to see how active they can be!
Wow Seraphina's eyes are incredible so sweet! The sugar gliders are too cute in their hammocks
I love opossums! Thanks for showing us Ophelia :)
14:24 omg this is the cutest entrance...
You do a great job at giving them all a happy home!
So uh, Jessie, if you're doing rounds all night, and taking care of the animals during the day, when do YOU sleep??
Oh, here and there, lol! - Jessi
@@animalwondersmontana Would be pretty interesting to see a "day in te life of Jessie". Like how do you schedule a good routine and make sure you get enough sleep and time with your family?
Tickle's little sniffer 😭
My heart always melts in happiness when animals have a second chance I love new animals and new videos I wish I had a pet but I will in 5th or 6th grade I also have a question so even though I love animals I am a little scared of animals even though I am getting better I am scared of the smallest bugs so how do become not scared of animals?
For me learning about animals helps me dispel my fear about them. You are doing that right now by asking how not to be scared. I would recommend you research the bugs or animals you are scared of, and try to learn something new about them. Stay safe. Stay curious. And have fun.
Nerdensteins Monster is correct! The more you know about a species, the more you learn and appreciate them. Knowledge is power, which can also evolve into respect and love. Good luck with the future pet of your dreams!
Thank you so much☺️😊😊😊☺️☺️☺️🙏
Yes! Research and visits with some animals if possible. The zoo is fun, and visiting with friends pets is good. My friend completely changed my perception of rats after she let me play with hers.
I've seen both foxes and opposums in the wild but I never knew how cute they could be until I saw them on Animal Wonders ♥ (not that I'm going near either in the wild lol).
Very cool. What you're doing with your life reaffirms my faith in humanity.
Seraphina sounded more like Kemosabe than he did, today! Kemo was too busy eating to talk much, I guess. ;)
I saw a baby mouse in the grass the other day. They weren't newborn; their eyes were open and they had hair, but they still looked too young to be wandering around outside of a burrow (and in the day, too). I almost picked them up, but remembered not to touch. However, I saw a puddle of blood (I think it was blood anyway) on the sidewalk nearby, which makes me think the mom got eaten, and the baby was out looking for her or something. It was hard leaving the baby there, given what I think happened to the mom, but I don't KNOW that that's the case. So I had to leave and let nature take it's coarse. :( (Also, I was trying to hold my dog back away from the baby mouse...she was REAL interested)
Ophelia acts a lot like my cat did once she got around 13. Still slowly active and happy, still curious, but you can tell even thier fully active mode is a little tired, for lack of a better word.
Ophelia is such a sweetheart it makes me wanna cry!!! Thank you so much for giving her the rich and fulfilling life she deserves
I just noticed that Seraphina had vertical slit pupils like a cat vs round like a dog. Fascinating! They were really easy to see when you were scratching her chin.
Thank you for the sweet and fun video Jessie! I’d forgotten you have an armadillo there! Such wonderful animals!
Lollipop and Ophelia and Kemo are my favorites. I've never heard you talk about Ophelia's neuro damage before. Is that why her toes are all wiggly, or is that normal for an opossum?
This video made me so happy, thank you for sharing this with us! Seraphina is so cute I could cry!
Cute little babies!!!
Lol... Jungle Queen 😅... Thanks for this video!!
Such wholesome content!
I love seeing the animals so happy 💜
Danke!
Thank you very much! I think, this is my new favourite video from you!
Bitte 🙂 Thank you for your support!
@@animalwondersmontana Wow! A German word! I used that "Thanks" for the first time and hadn't figured out how to write something before sending. I like the feature and I hope it helps additionally if some use that. Thank you very much!
These nighttime videos are so relaxing!
Спасибо!
Thank you, this was super interesting
Cool tour! So cuuuuute
this was incredible to see !
What a lovely video
Very good videos
Really nice vid♥️
Kemosabe is my favorite
Loved this video so much!!! When do you sleep? 😂
Do you use a dimmer switch for your lights and flash light for the nocturnal animals when you check at night?
I usually do checks in the dark, but if I need a closer look, I'll use my phone screen as a light source. I need a bit more light than that in the situation to make the video viewable.
-Jessi
awwh too cute!
me and my classmates love your videos
with i think the porcupine you said named kemosasabi (i am unable to spell) i put on the subtitles it spelit it like kimo sabe but i am thinking kimosabe it looked like he wanted to eat then drink so kute
i moved away from the one state that allows me to own a puppy fox as a pet and aw such a kute puppy
i took care of my sisters dogs and it was so hard because i stay awake all night woke up early in the morning took the dogs out for a walk when i got back in i needed to take a nap wake up not much later walk them again and then household chores stuff and try to find time to nap again as well as real work (the real work i mostly got done at night)
this is free serotonin
yessssssss
Who does Gaia lives with?
I love Opossums they are so weird.
Can you do a QNA video please because I have some questions!!
What is your daily routine with the animals?
How can I tell if my ducks eggs are fertilized?
How do I hatch a duck egg without having to get anything?
aw see i needed a nocturnal pet i think my biggest mistake getting a day time pet i loved it but i struggled to take care of it (i didnt realize i had debilitating depression as well)
i still struggle so i am against getting any animal but the one i would love to take care of would be a chinchilla i think they tend to be up my ally for a pet
i would love to pet sit for one that got a good owner that gave squishy time because their cuteness makes me want to squishy them and love them with a fun bath time
wear it as a hat while i play nintendo so it got some entertainment and i think that i sit far enough away from the TV for it so its eyes stay fine
thats what i worry about with a chin and TV (my brothers friend owned a chin and during them playing nintendo it woke up and got taken out of the cage) it decided to sit on the owners head and he said his head becomes the chinchillias seat for TV time
Ophelia has my whole heart oh my god
How do you decide which animals would be good room mates?
💛
I would imagine that logistically checking on nocturnal animals while they’re awake can be kind of difficult. Have you ever considered using some kind of artificial light system to simulate it being nighttime during the day and daytime during the night for your nocturnal animals, so that they’re all awake during the day?
Why do opossums have such short lives? They seem like they should live a similar lifespan to rabbits in captivity
Ophelia is so perfect 🥺
The fox: heheheheheheheh
Do the nocturnal species living with diurnal species ever bother the friends that are sleeping? Or vice versa? Or do they leave each other alone?
Hey I'm not sure if you read your comments, but I was wondering if you had any tips on knowing if an opo (opossum) is overweight or not? They have so much long thick hair, I think it's just playing with my eyes haha.
8 mins she looks like an albino hedgehog so kute i love hedgehogs but i lean more to chins now i didnt know hedgehogs also stay awake at night i guess because so many people own them as pets and i see them in the light that i think they are day animals
You should use a red light at night.. It's less bothersome to nocturnal animal eyes..
I always feel so sorry for Seraphina; she seems so lonely.
When do you go to sleep because you spend so long time with your sweet animals. 😋
A long time ⌛
What was Kemosabe eating?
The past couple videos they've been making little balls of food mixed with banana. The recent sickness sadly took a bit of a toll on poor Kemosabe, and while recovery is going well there was still some reluctance to eat. That looks like a bigger version. Also why she was checking a little more thoroughly, Kemosabe tends to hide the usual signs of sickness so they have to monitor everything closely for the moment so they know if there's a relapse.
What a sweetheart ophelia. I saw baby on freeway off ramp other morning. Sadly it was alone but playing. Glad it wasnt crowded bcuz yes i braked bcuz no way would i want to run it over. ❤🤗 lovin opossums lately
what about Kizmit the porcupine

I’m new to your channel. Is this a rehab facility and are these critters unable to be on their own in the wild due to illness or injury?
@Sauber Flote awesome and go vegan if you are not already 💚🥬🌍
It's not technically a rehab facility, none of the animals there will ever be able to live in the wild. Many have some sort of injuries, and those that don't are too habituated to humans to be able to safely exist in the wild (either due to a rehab process that ended up bonding them too much, or due to them being kept as pets by people who couldn't handle them). As Sauber said, they do presentations to educate people, especially children, on why these animals are so amazing, as well as why they don't make good pets for ones that aren't domesticated (ie, not like their bunnies or budgies).
To summarize what QuasarJake explained already, AnimalWonders Montana is considered a rescue and educational facility, not a rehab facility.
Is it me or is seraphina’s pupil colors changing??? 🤔
What about the chinchillas😭
Watching you interact with and love on these critters is so sweet. Are you living a vegan lifestyle? That would be consistent with your compassionate nature. 💚
