Did you know Raccoons are more intelligent than domestic animals? In fact they're proven to be almost as emotionally and mentally intelligent as monkeys. Did you also know it's Illegal to trap and relocate wildlife, even with a furbearers license? And it should go without saying that Spring is baby season for ALL animals! Yet everyday people are trapping these Raccoon Mom's and then days later realizing "oops, we didn't know any of that". It's a serious issue and it needs to stop. If you want Raccoons, Squirrels, Opossums etc.to leave your premises then please do it the natural way by playing music, using bright lights, or sprinkle cayenne pepper in the area. They will relocate on their own and you definitely don't want dead animals in your attic or underneath your porch etc.

THE REAL REASON WILDLIFE
REHABBERS ASK YOU NOT TO FEED THAT BABY…

It’s not because we want to hog all the fun for ourselves, I promise. It’s because wild orphans aren’t typically healthy enough to digest food, when they are found.

Many are hypothermic. The body can’t even handle water when its temperature is too low. All energy is going to crucial body functions in that state. If the body has to divert energy to digesting, it will likely be fatal.

Many are very dehydrated. Animals can’t digest properly when they are dehydrated. The body pulls water into the intestines to aid with digestion. If there isn’t any water to pull from, this could cause a domino affect of problems.

All wild baby animals require a specific diet and that diet generally isn’t available in local stores. Feeding the wrong milk could cause an upset stomach or worse. And please, NEVER cow's milk.

All baby animals need specific amounts of formula calculated by their body weight. The percentage differs depending on the species.

Not every animal can drink from a bottle. The correct instrument must be used to prevent aspiration and over feeding.

Bring me a thin, dehydrated, hypothermic animal and I can probably save it. Feed that same animal before you bring it to me…there’s likely nothing I can do to bring it back.

So please, don’t feed any wild orphans that you have found this baby season. Keeping them warm is a huge help until you find a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. And please be honest when we ask what you've provided. We NEED to know if they've been fed or given anything.
