As J.B. updated in his blog last week, Willy B, Mave, Dora, and Honey B are currently living together in a social group.
For those unfamiliar with their history, Willy B, Mave, and Honey B came to CSNW from Wildlife Waystation in 2019 as a group of 3. They had lived together for many years and got along well. Dora, on the other hand, arrived at CSNW in 2021 with the rest of Cy’s group. Once Cy’s and Willy B’s group were introduced (in late 2021 and early 2022), Mave and Dora became the ultimate best friends. We even gave them the honor of having a couple name, which is Mave + Dora= Mora.
Additionally, Dora and Honey B became great friends as well, often playing chase and making each other laugh. Dora is socially savvy and quite popular. So, in my opinion, having her be the 4th member was a great social opportunity for Mave, Honey B, and Willy B because she is a beloved friend to all. She’s always up for an adventure or lounging with her besties.
Since they’ve been living together as a group of 4, things have been going pretty well! It seems to me, that the anxious energy and overall stress has reduced, which is exactly what we were aiming for. Yesterday, for example, I found the 4 of them feeling pretty silly! Willy B was playing with Kelsi, Dora and Honey B were playing with each other, and once Mave had enough 3rd wheelin’ with HB and Dora, she played with J.B. and Diana. It was a fun moment to capture!
