Ranch Animals
Giraffes
Blue
I am a one year old giraffe born in April of 2020. I am excited to have a new best friend named Google.....besties....BFF....
I am going to show Google the ropes here at Blue Hills and introduce him to all my animal friends.
Nibbles, the mini horse, will now have to move out of the barn and into the new horse area. He has four new friends coming in a couple of weeks. We will still see each other and talk everyday 'cause I will be right next to him.
​
We are excited to announce that our friends at "Zebras R Us" have entrusted us to adopt and provide for Google the baby giraffe. He will live out his days here with Blue, our one year old giraffe. We are excited to see Blue and Google play and grow up together and be the best of pals.
​
Google's beautiful mother was a first time mom and wanted to explore the world, rather than be a mom. The tough decision was made to pull him from his mother because the weather became cold and wet. Google has been hand-raised by Dominique Ferraro who has become his mother for the first 6 weeks of his life. Dominique has successfully got him to bottle feed every four hours.

Otters
Otto
I am a baby Asian small-clawed otter donated in March 2020, and I am as cute as can be! I am very patient with my sister Sweet Pea, who always demands eating first. Come and watch my swimming skills while I eat my favorite treat - fish popsicles!
Sweet Pea
Don't let my brother Otto tell you I am not sweet. I ALWAYS let him eat (when I'm done.) I am not such a good swimmer yet, but hey, I'm only one year old! I love to "talk" and play with shoestrings. My favorite treat is shrimp! (I have expensive taste.)
Zebras
Thelma & Louise
​
We are the official "Aunts" of Blue Hills Ranch. We watch over the cattle and the baby calves, and stand guard to let the other animals know if we see any possible trouble. We are a little shy but getting better at letting you see us.
We are wild zebras and came to Blue Hills Ranch in September of 2019.

I was born April 2021. I am the newest zebra here at Blue Hills. I'm pretty shy so i need my baby blanket with me at all times. I like hanging out with my friends Google and Blue!
Mini Horse
Nibbles
​
I grew up with my brother Blue the giraffe. I am now going to be the lead horse out here and I need to show the new horses how we do it here. We are excited to soon start offering horseback riding tours of the property.
​
I am a bit of a nibbler; hence, my name. The world is so new to me and I want to taste it all.
Mary-Ann & Wanda
​
We are the new girls at the ranch. We are very loveable but you'll never see one of us without the other. We love getting to be with all of our new friends and getting snacks.

Mini Donkeys
Bonnie
I got my name because I escaped the first night I was at Blue Hills Ranch. I wandered down to the neighbor's and hung out with the goats for a couple of days. Not much scares me, and I even go hang out with the giraffes from time to time.

I'm Irwin, named after the famous, Steve Irwin! I'm a red kangaroo, and the most laid back kangaroo you'll ever meet. I enjoy sunbathing in the grass and hanging out with all my friends in the backyard. If you give me some rubs on my chest, I'll hug you because its my favorite!
​
I enjoy munching on grass and taking naps on the couch!
Wally
I am the new baby of the ranch. I look up to Irwin and want to be just like him! I'm still a little shy but warming up quickly. I still love being in my pouch and hanging out with our new kitty, Polly!

Cows
Jamie​
​
I am a special little brownish-red girl cow that was donated to the ranch in October 2020. I am blind and needed a good forever home. I was named after a special little boy named Corbin "James" who is our favorite visitor here.
My mom is my guide to the world and is very protective of me. I am still learning all the new sounds and smells of the different animals.
British White Cows
​
We British White Cows are nicknamed the "Mickey Mouse Cow" because of our black ears and noses. Our herd continues to grow! This year we had 11 calves born, bringing our total to 36. We all have our own names and you can see it on our ear-tags!
**These cows are pets and will not be used for beef production.
