Rhino Orphan, Baby Bula Enjoys Milk Bottles, a Weigh-in & Mud Baths

- A new day with rhino orphan Bula!
Adine has been assisting from afar, as she has been travelling. She has been on the phone with wildlife vet Dr Peter Rogers and Saving the Survivors veterinary assistant, Dot to give support and advice regarding the treatment and care of Bula as the orphan rehabilitates at HESC (Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre).
Adine will be back in Hoedspruit this week, but fortunately Dot has captured beautiful moments on camera for us to share with you.
In today’s video, we see Bula getting a weigh-in and enjoying a pampering session. Dot collected day from the road and gave Bula a full-body clay mud mask, which made him fall asleep quickly…
Bula enjoys a diet of milk formula, teff, a little dung from other rhinos and vegetation around him. He has a good appetite and drinks his bottles well. Dot believes he is possibly going through a growth spurt and is teething as he has shown signs here and there of agitation, rubbing his lips, gums, sides of his face and horn on anything he can.
Bula is a seven-month-old calf whose mother was an old cow who could not produce enough milk to feed him, and since passed away.
Taking care of a baby rhino is hard work and involves round-the-clock monitoring and all hands on deck. Adine offered to assist with the new orphan, joining a nurse from Saving The Survivors and Dr Johan Marais at HESC.
Adine got stuck in trying to get Bula to take a milk bottle as the calf would need fuel and sustenance to stay strong. He was blindfolded to keep him calm, as this experience can be very traumatic for animals. Adine has continued to visit and spend time with Bula, ensuring he drinks his bottles and settles into his new life at the rehabilitation centre down the road from us at HERD.
We have shared about Adine’s work in rhino rehabilitation briefly before, and while this chapter of Adine’s life has mostly been in the past, before she founded HERD, she was called on recently to return to the side of this animal species she will always love and cherish.

Oh my goodness. Melts my heart to see Bula so tentatively accepting milk. Who knew rhinos could be so endearing? Beautiful Bula...wishing a full happy life being loved and cared for. Watching his mud spa made me tearful. So trusting!
Yes he's so beautiful. He's trusting and also I think I saw him smile ❤
He absolutely loved his spa mud massage 😂😂❤!! 🦏
So endearing. Makes me want to put mud all over my face and body. Bula is so special and clearly trust his human carer. Love learning about baby rhino!💞☺🙏🦏
Thanks very much for your kindness to Bula 👍👍👍. If all humans were so kind all animals would be happy 👍
All humans can’t be “kind” because we have flawed souls & are all sinners. Animals don’t have souls & don’t know right from wrong. Even the kindest human has evil in them but know not to succumb to it.
With respect, I disagree. I believe animals have feelings and beautiful souls.
@@kp8381 me too. I believe the same 👍
For Sure they have a soul!
Baby Bula deserves a happy and safe life. ❤
I AGREE!!☺️🦏🦏
He will have one here for sure
Milk,mud and a massage. The birds singing. Life doesn't get much better. He's a beautiful boy. 😊
There was a somewhat recent video of Adine in her truck coming across two rhinos on the reserve that she had helped raise. One had always been very wary, but the other one, a male, approached her, and she talked to him and cried. You could tell that he knew her. It was a very lovely moment.
That’s Gertje 💜🦏there’s also some video of him & Adine together 5 years ago back when he was a little one on HESC’s YT channel.
Yes that made my eyes water, a beautiful but sad sight
Besides learning from Adine that rhinos can be helped as babies I never really thought about them. But now with Bula I am so excited to see this. Thank you for taking him in and helping him. Outstanding!!!
I felt as if I was watching an incarnation of Adine! She must have been so like this beautiful carer Dot. 🫶
Baby Bula was enjoying his pampering spa day. Bless you all for the care you make possible for this Rhino orphan.
❤ 🦏
My soul is crying . Please 🙏 let's stop the madness against nature.
Thank you to anyone who cares enough to care. You are all special souls.
So - what did you do at work today? You know the usual and you? I covered a baby rhino in mud! Love the way he lifted his leg so she could get to his tummy.
It's so good to see Rhino calf Bula doing so well ❤
Rhino calfs are so good natured. It makes me so happy to see this innocent rhino receiving gentle care.
Thank you Dot!
How proud your family must be, with your kind soul, & healing, gentle hands. This how God intended humans to be. Bless You, Dot, & Bula!
I love how he fell asleep under Dot’s strokes. So much love for a beautiful boy.💗
In the description it is mentioned that bula is consuming dung. I’m assuming for the microbes as with elephants? Bula is very comfortable with Dot. Can’t wait to show this to my 9 year old granddaughter who has a very prized stuffed animal of an African spotted dog named………Dot😉
It's spa day for big beautiful baby Bula. He will never forget Adine.
It will be interesting to see if Bula remains so human friendly as time goes by
Although I care about all wildlife, Elephants and Rhino are the closest to my heart. As saddened as I am that Bula is orphaned, I'm so glad you've featured him on HERD. I think many people view Rhino as "pre-historic", not particularly cute creatures and Bula has helped many view Rhino differently. Just like Elephant babies, they are grief-stricken and traumatised at the death of their mothers. Bula's mother died from natural causes but most Rhino and Elephant babies witness the slaughter of their mothers and can be heard crying and sobbing, even in their sleep.
Adine's previous "life" working with rescued Rhino has been invaluable with recent Rhino rescues. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience, and the same love and care she holds for Elephants. Bula is looking healthy and he's certainly in good hands at H.E.S.C.
Thank you for sharing these videos. Good Luck little guy. Keep Zooming! 🩵🦏🩵😊🙏
The Sheldrake Trust also rehabs other wildlife.....thank goodness for these amazing people putting in so much effort to create these sanctuaries...it is sadly so needed at this time, but the results are proof that it is worth all the hard work! I hope to one day soon be able to help these sanctuaries with regular donations.
Dot is taking such excellent care of Bula and he is enjoying every minute of it. He's living the life now. Wishing him continued good health.❤
Baby Bula is the sweetest baby rhino. He just loves the attention. I remember the video you did Adine with the mama rhino at the watering hole. You helped raise her and now she has a baby of her own! She also remembered you. What a wonderful love she has for you Adine! And our sweet Bula will be the same way Adine and with all of his loving carers. God Bless you all!! With a Loving heart for all of you... Jeanne Jones from North Carolina ❤️❤️❤️❤️
🫶🦏🌿That roll over, was just confirmation that Bula was in the midst of spa bliss. Dot, you’re a legend and a hero. 🌟Your caring, attentive and meticulous mud lathering, completely transformed Bula and us, the viewers, into what a thorough spa, really is. The holistic joy of the cooling, mud. Thank you Dot and everyone for your dedication to these beautiful animals 🦏💞
That's a spa day 🧽🛁💅 he is really enjoying it laying around being pampered.... Nice! ❤ Thank you!
Bula is in rhino heaven with this wonderful mud treatment.
Your patience was rewarded. Glad Bula is doing so well ❤
Loved the way he moved his leg so she could get into all the nooks and crannies!! 🥰🥰🥰👏🦏
Precious little Bula, he couldn't be in a better place to be loved and cared for so deeply ❤️...
Handsome Bula is enjoying all the TLC from Dot! ❤❤
Good grief 😲. Never before have I seen such contentment in a rhino and such commitment and love from a rhino carer 💞. This totally melted my heart.
That baby was hypnotized by her soothing, loving touch! 🫶
I think that is called trust... beautiful spa-experience! ❤❤❤
@@Beth-ds3mj So true! 👍
Absolute bliss for Bula, and let's be honest...who wouldn't enjoy that!

La aplicación de barro en Bula es una de las cosas más encantadoras que he visto en mi vida. Es emocionante ver lo bueno, inocente y confiado que es Bula. La chica es magnífica. 🌟🌟🌟
Thank you Dot for your loving kindness & devotion to wildlife. You are very good at it. Your work is so important. Thank for sharing with the world. ❤
I ❤ the tufts of hair on Baby Boy Bula's ears ❤ from California,
Oh, what a little sweetheart, so cute.
"Ahhhh! Don't look at my stomach! I just had my bottle! " 😅😊
Bula ❤❤❤. Cute!
My all time fav animal. I have just been watching the greatest spa day on earth. Love you Bula.

Im so glad for the videos you share of baby Bula. You are all so dedicated to take care of these animals, both rhinos and elephants!❤👍🇸🇪🌸
Beautiful cute baby Bula 😃🥰🦏. He enjoys mud massages and baths. Lovely to hear that Bula is doing well ❤. Just wonderful 🥰. God Bless 🙏❤.
How completely relaxing to watch Bula get his massage and personalized mud bath...found myself getting drowsy!😂 Clearly Bula and wonderful Dot have a great, loving relationship in the making that will end up like Adine and Gert! Perhaps it's been mentioned and i missed it, but what was Bula's initial weight when he came to HESC? Many thanks for this adorable, calming update.🦏🍼🦋🕊💜🇺🇲
What a beautiful video to wake to in snowy Alaska USA! Oh Bula, you are certainly thriving and what a sweet day yer having with Dot! Dot, you have a soothing sweet voice that Bula obviously, reluctant with the scale, but responds to beautifully. I loved watching the mud spa and was wishing for one also!! Your compassion and attention to this fortunate growing calf truly moved my heart! Keep up the good work! Go Bula!!!! 🦏 🥰🧡
What a GREAT video!!! So happy Bula is doing so well!
Wow! Bula's getting huge! He is so lucky being loved and cared for! Thank Dot and this team!❤
Es muy emocionante ver vuestra gran labor y amor. Y es tanto o más emocionante poder ver como Bula es feliz y se deja cuidar con tanta confianza. Gracias por compartir tanta belleza con nosotros. ❤
Is Bula not sure of the milk bottle ❤. Oh I see you are trying to weigh Bula.
Oh, sweet Bula. You are doing so well. The young lady is so good with him. I'm sure it's frustrating at times, but the reward is worth it.
Thank you to all who have saved these beautiful animals.
🦏❤
Enchanted watching this, so caring and dedicated, so beautiful, thank you for sharing ❤️🙏❤️
Cheating is not allowed when getting weighed, Bula. LOL Dear, sweet boy. 💙💙
Bula is so cute. I wonder how the pretty pink Princess would react if she saw her human mom Adina taking care of Bula❓😁👀❤️❤️🐘🦏
I think her pinkness would turn to green out of jealousy. 😂😂
That is so true we can see how jealous she gets when Adina shows Timi some attention and love.😊
This is Dot, Khanysia would be so jealous if Adine did this
What a handsome young Rhino!!! 🙏🏻❤️🌟✨🌟❤️🙏🏻 God bless Bula and all the wonderful Carers!!! 🙏🏻🥰🦏🦏🦏🦏🦏🥰🙏🏻🌟✨🌟✨🌟✨
I'm so glad that HESC is back open to visitors again - not that Bula will be visible. But there are so many other precious animals to see, especially the cheetahs and wild dogs.
Bula needs a friend like the once beautiful and loving Lammie.
Bula is beautiful he trust Dot ❤️💯 loves his mud rubs🦏
He's a beautiful boy!. It took some convincing but he finally got the message about his bottles of milk. He also did not resist the mud bath
Very patient of giving milk bottle for weighing-in Bula, and Amazing mud massage from Dot to beloved Bula ! Bless All.
I just love rhino ears. The way they can flutter them is so amazing!
What tenderness on the part of Dot and trust by Bula!!!❤❤❤
Your care for these orphans is exceptional. Bula is in a 5 star sanctuary😂. Watching your tenderness with baby Bula lifts our hearts when the world seems tragically sad at the moment. Sending love and good wishes to you all and thank you for your beautiful video.❤
Bebé hermoso ❤
Tummy is full, now for a relaxing snooze at the mud spa. He's so beautiful and a very lucky little boy 💙

He's grieving for his mama, Dot has the Adine touch for sure
