Anyone know if they've said how long it will be before the baby can go out?

Oh this baby giraffe - so adorable. I love how sweet and curious he already is. I read online it was a Boy - is that confirmed? I just can't get enough of his cute little face.

That April is one great Momma! She's spent most of the afternoon cleaning up baby boy, much to his annoyance. He keeps pulling away like "Mom, I'm busy checking things out!" Lol. Every time he wanders over to the gate by Oliver, she is right there watching or nosing him away. Alyssa snuck in for a minute before lights out, and she was ok, but Dr. Tim got kicked at a couple times when he went in further to check them out. Don't mess with her baby.
I hope all involved and all that followed along here get a peaceful night. Baby is curled up in the corner now and his head keeps bobbing like a tired toddler. So sweet.

Did you see the vet (?) get kicked a few times. She did not like him in there.

Can anyone post a link to the current feed. All I seem to find is re-runs of the birth and soon after. I am assuming it is still live "somewhere".
TIA

I'm smitten with the little guy! He is so precious and April is such a good momma. It's adorable how he is 'hanging out with dad' so much.

Baby had a vet visit. Vet enticed Momma into the next stall and locked her in while he and another worker weighed, measured and checked out Baby's body. To weigh, one human just picked up Baby and handed him to the other human who was standing on a scale.
Meanwhile, Momma was pacing vigorously.

He just stood there like a big stuffed animal, but Momma April was not happy. She wore a path pacing in just a few minutes. I loved it when she got back in the pen with him and sniffed him all over, making sure he was ok.

Unfortunately there isn't one on the park's official channel (that I could find) and since I didn't know what time it happened I just looked for another. I think this is the one I watched. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITSQhMTjtsc

The baby was galloping around the stall this morning. April was standing in the middle and watching him like she was thinking "really? must you run in the house??" lol Anyone know when they'll let the baby outside? He stands by the door like he wants to go out and play.

He stands by the door like he wants to go out and play. I'm not sure when the baby can go out. Maybe he needs to be a bit steadier. I did read that the park will have a yard cam and they are taking down the barn cam soon.

I just wanted to post this park update, which will be the last I post since the camera is coming down anyway. It's been a fun time watching and waiting with you all. Animal Adventure Park post: We are well aware, long before the first email that April had a small twist of her leg today which has her favoring it. This is not unheard of in such long legged animals. Dr Tim was on site and all is well. We appreciate concern but the bogging down of email servers and other platforms is the exact reason the giraffe cam will need be pulled. While we appreciate the concern, it is interfering with normal park operations and preparation for opening; at a period when our resource of time is limited and cannot be hindered. Please allow our team to do as they are trained to do - we have their care covered!

I'm so sad to see the cam go, even though I've known it would. They mentioned in the comments it will come down between Wednesday and Friday of this week. Already feeling withdrawal, lol! It has been an honor watching along with all of you and welcoming this new little one into the world.

I just read that about the camera. I know we spent a lot of time (and data lol) watching and waiting for the baby giraffe to make an appearance, but I am honestly disgusted by reading some of the comments that people post on the FB page. Some of those people need to step back and get a damn life. Waaayyyy too busybody and know it all. Emailing the park because the gigantic giraffe twisted her leg? Do they really not think that park staff is not keeping an eye on those pens? I know the plan was to shut down the cam and at this point I don't blame them one bit for wanting it to all to stop.
