This baby Aardvark was found during one of our camel safaris on Aug. 28th. This morning I took him to the vet for an x-ray after sleeping with him in the same bed. He has a broken leg and rib. The leg surgery on Thursday will be long says Dieter Rottcher the leading wildlife vet here. We just hope he will make it till thurs….

Oh my…poor thing…much bigger than I expected though!! I hope he heals quickly.
Amazing story – and my favourite animal (another one!). Can you get a video – I’ve always wanted to hug an aardvark.
Will be holding thumbs for the poor little thing keep us posted thanks a lot for pics
Such a cute one. Do you think he was hit by a car? I pray the surgery goes well and this little one pulls through.
awe. i have never seen a real ardvark! they are much cuter than depicted in the ant-eater cartoons
I am thankful at the blessed luck that found you to this small life in need.
Crossing fingures hang on little guy. I didn’t understand in what condition did you find him and what do you think happend to him?
If he is in Dieter’s hands he has a great chance of surviving – Dieter is the greatest vet! He saved my dogs life when we lived in Kenya – she ate a poisoned lion bait and was given a 5% chance of surviving – she is almost 15 years old and still going strong – all thanks to Dieter!!!
Wow sooo cute! I want to write about this story for Animal Planets blog. Email me I want to get some more details!!
I hope he is doing well. I just made a donation, I hope it helps in his healing process. My Bhudda bless this wonderful living creature.
The kind words you have all written as well as the tidings you send, are very kind – people like you make the world go ’round.
We will keep you informed about tomorrow.
Oh my gosh! He is so cute! Bless his sweet little heart! I really hope he will make it! Thanks for helping him!
What an adorable, but sad looking creature. So happy that you were able to help him. Let’s hope he’ll make it. I’m also sending you a donation and hope it will help even a little bit for you to know that we all appreciate the work you do.

very kind of you to help us with his surgery. It is supposedly going to cost us well over 700$ so every bit of help is greatly appreciated. He is at the vet now and I just hope he will be ok. I’m afraid ive gotten quite attached.
cheers, Jamie
Jamie, I made another donation to bring the amount up a bit. Thank you again for taking care of the little one, whatever the outcome may be.
he looks just like ET
how old is he?
