Orphan mammals

IMG_1619.HEIC

If you have a baby opossum, fox/coyote, mink/weasel, chipmunk, ground squirrel, muskrat/beaver or woodchuck and it was found alone, this is NOT NORMAL. These species are almost always with their mothers so to find one alone likely means it needs help! Please contact us to discuss the situation and possibly set up drop off!

 

IF you have found the animal after hours, please get it in a box and keep it somewhere dark quiet and safe (garage or bathroom tends to work well) on a heating pad on low and do not feed. Thank you!
