Adopted the little guy shortly after he arrived at Herd. He seems brighter here. We all just want him to to be completely well. There is no doubt Setombe ADORES her son and Klaserie her brother. The entire Herd care deeply about this little bull and we know his human family are doing EVERTHING possible to help him reach his potential. Love, Respect and Appreciation to you all and Doc Rogers and his staff. For those unable to contribute financially, your love, care and prayers are so important too. Thank you Everyone who is supporting Beni and the entire Herd 💙🐘💙🙏🙏😊

The best way to start my day is watching my beloved pachyderm Phabeni. I'll help them when I can.

You need to get younger people on board. I get the impression that many fans and contributors are older and retired and perhaps of limited means. Yours truly does his best but I wish I could pay for the solar system outright or even spend some time at Jabulani, which is prohibitively expensive--and highly justified!. Phabeni and crew help us get through tough times and we shall remain grateful and mindful of what you need.. All the best from Montréal. And hundreds of kisses on the little One's forehead.

@@MrRobot898 lol...my statement is based on pretty well nothing except the tone of the comments leads me to believe in a "mature" demographic. As well, the near-absence of typos seems to point in the same direction. "Mature" could apply to any age group....Bottom line: Herd would need really sensitive hedge fund managers who melt at the sight of an elephant. I'm sure Adine has amassed a great deal of fund-raising expertise. I just wish I could contribute more. Cheers 35!

Phabeni we all love you so much. I wish I was a millionaire, I would by you the world...

Watching the adverts on HERD's videos is an easy, free way to contribute, they get revenue for the ads we watch. I do that when I can't give money. Also if you happen to be living in South Africa you can make HERD a beneficiary on the My School/My Planet card at Woolworths, they get a percentage of your grocery spend and it doesn't cost you anything extra.

If you click the link to adopt, it gives a bio on every Elephant! I go there to view personalities and background. Thank you so much Herd!

I adopted Klaserie. It’s enjoyable to look for her in the videos. When I see her, I think “there’s my girl”! If you can adopt, I encourage you to do so. You will be so glad you did. Watching from Florida 🇺🇸💕🌺💗🌴

He is cute and spunky. His little rumble was so sweet.

We all love you Beni, and are so glad you are on your way to feeling better and happy to be with your herd!❤ You are always in the best loving hands and trunks, you’ll never have to worry about that!

Maye Musk, a South African, wouldn't be interested in scoing virtue points by donating to HERD?? You have such a special place-- it's so distinctive for its virtue and exceptional spirit.

Even though his hip wound is closed, the area around it still looks wierd, and has a dark color. Do you know what that is? I would love to adopt little Phabeni, but I've already got Kumburu and Sebakwe. 🥰 Lots of love to the wonderful little trunkmeister and all at HERD. 😍

Ай бұрын

Has the left hip lesion been checked for a foreign body or bone chip? Ie ultrasound? Has there been a pus swab to see what infection is to possibly give a course of antibiotics? Usually the body forms pus to eject foreign bodies and will make abscesses. Something is causing the lesion to persist and something is causing him.to reject his milk so start with most obvious. If little Phabeni has an area of chronic infection it will wear down his overall health.

@jk-bw8gf

Ай бұрын

Has the hip lesion been scanned for foreign body or bone chip? Swab pus to check type of infection. Lesion will persist if Phabeni's system thinks there is a foreign body in situ. While skin is closed over, the lesion remained swollen which means reaction is still occurring and has been an issue since his arrival. Chronic infection/lesion could gradually wear down his overall health. Antibiotics don't usually help cure abscess but may reduce secondary infection. It's so hard caring for those without a voice. Did Phabeni drink his bottle when he can see Setombe and other cows? Maybe adjust feed times to get as much fluid in as possible when he can see his elephant mum.

I check on Phabeni every day 🎉🎉🎉

Is it possible to use a reward for good behaviour with baby elephants like we do with dogs? Ie each time Phabeni drinks his bottle...praise then reward him. it was called operant conditioning and used with many animal species for training purposes. Elephants are very clever so would this approach work with them?

I’ve been so worried about Baby Phabeni. I’m glad to see updates. Sending prayers for his recovery.

Is Phabeni drinking his milk bottles rather more willingly when with Setombe and the herd outside? Maybe he still has just this inner restlessness and agitation resulting from the trauma he experienced… Who knows what happened… Or maybe mainly a physical cause after all… so difficult to know what's going on in an animal's mind 🤒😘❤‍🩹
