Beavers have endless love for building a dam. It’s their instincts. They do this even when they’re living inside the house. They build it with any household items found in their path like pillows, tissue boxes, statuettes, metal frames, buckets, or plungers.
The rescued baby beaver named Beave in this story is no exception. The cub starts building a doorway dam in its rescuer’s home using random household objects.

Beave was rescued when had been left abandoned by the side of the road in May of 2020. He was just 3 weeks old at that time. Nancy, a licensed wildlife rehabilitation specialist spotted and rescued him.

Nancy decided to help the baby beaver. She brought him home. The cub will stay here for 2 years until he’s ready to go back to the wild.
Beave got difficulties in fitting the new living environment at the beginning. He learns everything from his parents. Nancy shared stories of daily life (shenanigans) of Beave on the Internet, from eating solid food, building dams, swimming, bathing, wandering, to sniffing around.
Beave now has his own TikTok channel with over 370,000 followers. People much get interested in his daily life.
One of the most favorite activity of the baby beaver and the best thing that he could do is to build a dam. Mother Nature-given instincts.
“Beave is just starting to dam with household objects, but has not yet started outside or in water,” elaborated Nancy. “He dams pretty much every evening. When I clean it up, he just rebuilds!”
He builds his dam at doorway, using various household objects, including statuettes, pillows, shoes, metal racks, blocks, buckets, plungers, cloth, toilet mats, brushes, boxes, and toys. If you find anything along his way, he adds it to his dam. And this “project” repeats day after day.
The wildlife rehabber made video of the beaver building his dams. They got hundreds of thousands of views. One particular video even garnered over 700,000 views with nearly 100,000 likes and around 9,000 shares. People fall in love with the mischievous animal.
Sharing about the process of rehabbing the beaver, Nany said: “The most challenging part about rehabbing a beaver is trying to teach him to learn all the things his parents would teach him. He does chew everything in the house, but with each rehab, there are unique challenges.”
