Until now, wildlife related calls from the public had nowhere to go. The conservation departments, rabies control, animal control, humane societies and animal rescues were bombarded with calls that they just couldn’t give the proper attention to. Some calls were going to our police and fire departments in a desperate attempt to get any sort of assistance at all. When callers were told that no one

could help, people were left with just the option to call pest control companies to handle their conflicts, often spending hundreds of dollars they don’t have, and ultimately resulting in injury or death to the animals. The Wildlife Hotline is here to assist in these cases. While we cannot always be “on-site” to assist, many times all that is needed is a telephone consultation to educate homeowners of how to handle these conflicts on their own, safely and humanely. The caller gets the information that they need to resolve their conflict, the homeowner gets to keep the hundreds of dollar that they may have spent with a pest control company, plus the animal conflict is settled humanely and efficiently.

Happy Easter! Ok, they're not quite your typical easter bunnies, but who's to say we couldnt have an Easter Opossum delivering goodies to girls and boys? It could happen. 🐰❤️🐰

Hoppy Easter Everyone! Just remember, those baby bunnies you find in the yard this weekend are not "a gift to you" for Easter. They're babies, with a Mom who is caring for them, and they most likely don't need help from anyone. Take your pictures and ooh and ahh at their cuteness, but please leave them be and let Momma Bunny raise them. ❤️ They are NOT the same as a pet rabbit and they will NOT make good pets, and it is against the law to take wildlife out of the wild and keep them as pets. Use this opportunity to teach the kids the difference between wildlife and pets and how unhappy a wild animal would be in captivity. 🐰❤️🐰

Tiny faces likes these will be on our doorstep in the very near future. 😍 It's starting to look and FEEL a lot like 🌻 SPRING 🌻 again, and for us, spring means lots of orphaned baby animals that come to us hypothermic, emaciated, dehydrated, sick and injured. These little lives deserve a second chance. If you are able (We know, times are tough out there!), please make a donation today to help us prepare for another sleepless, crazy, exhausting, taxing, 💕 AMAZING 💕 year saving these precious lives and granting well deserved second chances. ❤️❤️ Donate online at https://zurl.co/brSvy

Did you know that mange in foxes and coyotes is directly related to the use of rat poison? The mites that cause mange are a normal part of living in the wild. Normally animals groom themselves to keep the numbers of these mites to a minimum. However, if a fox or coyote consumes a mouse, rat, mole, vole, etc. that has been poisoned by rat poison it makes them ill for 5-7 days, with nausea and vomiting, similar to human "food poisoning". During this illness the animal stops grooming themselves, and the others in their group keep their distance to preserve their own health. When the animal recovers, the damage is done. The mites have become overwhelming in quantity and the mange disease process has begun. Soon the fox/coyote will begin to intensely itch as the mites burrow into tunnels just below the surface of the skin, and spotty hair loss will become noticeable, usually starting at the tail. They also start to become less adept at hunting prey as they become sleep deprived and the mange spreads to the face where it can impact their eyesight. This is the result of a local business, restaurant or new housing development in your area using inconspicuous, black rat poison bait boxes to "control the rodent population". 🥺 There has to be a better way! In the meantime, if you see a fox or coyote with hair loss, low body weight or emaciation, scratching incessantly and in trouble, please visit our Mange by Mail Program page to help: https://zurl.co/3gTqw

Love is in the air, quite literally in this case. 😁 It's mating season for many different species right now: raccoons, coyotes, fox, and skunks, amongst others. Male skunks will travel long distances tracking the scent of a female and they will cross roads, highways, people's yards, and side streets to find the right lady friend. ❤️ Sadly, skunks also have terrible eyesight, and don't know to run away from cars. Skunks have never met an adversary that doesn't back down when they challenge and spray it, and they often think if they stand their ground and spray the oncoming car it will back down too. 🥺 Please be extra cautious in the next month or so when driving and be watchful for our black and white friends, as well as all of the other wild lovers out there. ❤️🦨❤️

Mange is a parasitic infection that causes starvation and hypothermia, resulting in death in 4-6 months in coyotes and foxes in the wild. Studies show that this infection is often caused by the ingestion of prey animals that have been poisoned. To help prevent mange please don't use poisons. To treat mange and save the lives of infected foxes and coyotes sign up for our Mange by Mail Program at https://www.wildlifehotline.com/mange . If you have used our program before and saved a life, please help us spread the word by sharing this post, sharing your experience in the comments, and/or donating to support the program's continued existence at https://www.wildlifehotline.com/donate
Thank you for caring about our native wildlife. ❤️

Keep wildlife in mind this holiday season. Regretfully, this time of year we don't have any cute little baby photos to show you, but we're still picking up sick raccoons, hit by car opossums, and other various critters that need a helping hand. We're also hard at work with our nationwide Mange by Mail Program every day! ❤️ If you're able to do so, we sincerely appreciate your support, as we receive zero state or federal funding to provide these services. Please donate today at https://www.wildlifehotline.com/donate
Happy Holidays!

We believe in helping and supporting our native wildlife whenever possible without disrupting their lives or risking their freedom, especially when the harm done to them is a result of human error (often completely unintentional). If you agree, and/or have used our Mange by Mail Program in the past please support our efforts by making a donation today in celebration of Giving Tuesday. The animals are counting on you!

Ok, we're supposed to say that feeding wildlife is discouraged because it can spread disease, habituate animals, teaching them to get too close to humans (and not all humans are nice to wildlife), among 100 other legitimate reasons to not feed wildlife, but we're also animal loving human beings and this was too adorable not to share. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! 🤣❤️

Michelle Belan of Parma, Ohio, leaves a Thanksgiving feast for her "outdoor friends" - the animals that live in her neighborhood - ahead of the holiday on Nov. 27. Visitors include cats and an opossum.
