Baby Rhino Interaction
EXPERIENCE RHINOS LIKE NOWHERE ELSE
Rhino calves that would not have survived in the veld are brought to our rhino nursery.
Reasons for baby rhinos being orphaned range from the death of the mother or the mother abandoning her baby, to her not having sufficient milk to raise her young. Injured or sick baby rhinos are also cared for at our nursery.
We've had 250+ births at Rockwood, so an expert on-site rhino nursery is a necessity.

Our baby rhinos are hand-reared by qualified rehabilitation staff, with multiple daily feedings of a milk substitute and supplementary food until they are ready to be released into the reserve.
