Small Mammals

The Folsom Zoo is home to a veriety of small mammals such as domesticated ferrets, rabbits, racoons, ringtails, and grey squirrels.

Isabella - Rabbit

DOB: January 2005
FCZS: 12/6/06
Sex: Female
Weight: 7.5 lbs.

Isabella was lucky to be rescued from an abusive situation and brought to the zoo sanctuary for a safe and loving home. Nicknamed "Bella" (to avoid confusion with fox Isabella), she is in the zoo’s outreach program. She is a furry ambassador helping share the zoo’s philosophy of "Teaching responsible human behavior toward all animals."

Unfortunately, along with some confiscations due to abuse, there are also over 50,000 rabbits voluntarily given up to shelters each year. Far too often people buy rabbits as pets when they are cute little bundles of fur, only to abandon them as they grow.

Scout - Raccoon

DOB: Spring 1998
FCZS: 10/2/98
Sex: Female
Weight: 19.4 lbs.

Scout was taken as an illegal pet. She can be identified by a small notch on her ear (an old injury from an apparent scuffle).

Scout has been successfully trained to respond to various requests from her keepers. Curious, energetic and greedy animals are good candidates for training, as they never tire of treats and are eager to work to get them.

Raccoons are omnivores and get a diet of meat, vegetables, fruits, greens and even nuts. At feeding time keepers have the option of putting the raccoons in separate lock-up cages while cleaning the exhibit. If the doors to their lock-ups are not secured, Scout easily uses her front paws to lift the gate. She is quick to come out to see what new thing might be in her home and if there is anything to eat or explore.

Crash - Raccoon

Info coming soon!

Gizmo - Skunk

DOB: unknown
FCZS: unknown
Sex: Male
Weight: unknown

Ringtail Cat Chaos and Skunk Gizmo reside in the Miners Shack. If you look closely you may see Chaos sleeping on a top shelf. This replica of a California foothill Gold Rush mining camp is the result of many people's imagination and efforts. Each are native nocturnal animals common around mining camps. The arrangement suited them both.

Stinky Pete - Skunk

Info coming soon!

Orchid - Opossum

August and Cinnamon - Ferret
