Since we’re reconnecting, here are a few things I wish someone told me early on about cob houses and natural building.
No gatekeeping ... just the good stuff.

1️⃣ Cob is WAY stronger than people think.
Once it fully cures, it’s basically a stone wall. Not a mud pie.

2️⃣ Lime plaster is your best friend.
Protects against rain, adds breathability, lasts for decades.

3️⃣ Most of the work is mixing + stomping.
It’s cardio, therapy, and madness all in one. But in the best way.

4️⃣ You don’t need land to start learning.
Small test builds, sculpting, mixing ratios — anyone can practice.

5️⃣ Cob attracts community.
If you start building, people WILL show up.
Some to help.
Some just to stare and say, ‘Wait… you’re making a HOUSE outta dirt?’ 😆

THE REAL REASON WILDLIFE REHABBERS ASK YOU NOT TO FEED THAT BABY…

It’s not because we want to hog all the fun for ourselves, I promise. It’s because wild orphans aren’t typically healthy enough to digest food, when they are found.

Many are hypothermic. The body can’t even handle water when its core temperature is too low. All energy is going to crucial body functions in that state. If the body has to divert energy to digesting, - it will likely be fatal.

Many orphans are very dehydrated. Animals can’t digest properly when they are dehydrated. The body pulls water into the intestines to aid with digestion. If there isn’t any water to pull from, this could cause a domino affect of problems.

All wild baby animals require a specific diet and that diet generally isn’t available in local stores. Feeding the wrong formula could cause an upset stomach or worse.

All baby animals need specific amounts of formula calculated by their body weight. The percentage differs depending on the species.

Not every animal can drink from a bottle. The correct instrument must be used to prevent aspiration and over feeding.
Bring us a thin, dehydrated, hypothermic animal and we can probably save it. Feed that same animal before you bring it to us…there’s likely nothing we can do to bring it back.

So PLEASE, don’t feed any wild orphans that you have found this baby season. Keeping them warm is a huge help until you find a licensed wildlife rehabilitator.
