Why do wildlife rehabbers ask people not to feed a baby anything?

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.

All baby animals need specific amounts of formula calculated by their body weight. The percentage differs depending on the species. The same reason human babies can’t drink cows milk, it isn’t suitable for human babies.

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. even better don’t touch the babies until you’ve spoke to a licensed rehab… Not googled the info… speak to an actual licensed rehab.

Good morning 😁
I am wondering if anyone could use this for their babies. I bought it originally for the opossums when they were babies, now they are on solid foods and I have this extra, it doesn't expire until December. If you could use it for your baby just let me know ok. It's free😁❤

When bringing wildlife to any wildlife rehabilitator, please keep a few things in mind.

Your state does not pay them to care for wildlife. They are volunteers.

Most people who bring them animals in need will not donate towards that animal’s care.

Raising a single baby raccoon to an adult costs approximately $500, if you consider the formula, vaccines, cleaning supplies, enrichment toys and healthy food when they are weaned. That’s only if the animal doesn’t require extensive medical care.

Raising your average squirrel will cost approximately $150. Baby Cottontails $50. Baby foxes are about $700-$1000 each.

If you can’t donate, they will understand. Believe me - they aren’t in this for the money. They will be happy you cared enough to help the animal and bring it to them.

But if you are able to support your local wildlife rehabilitator, it would be greatly appreciated. They work very hard. During baby season, there is very little sleep. When they aren’t caring for the babies they are generally working a second job or trying to raise funds to care for the little ones in their care. They witness a lot of sad situations and it can be hard for them emotionally.

Send them a note of appreciation. It will mean more than you will ever know. ❤️

The squirrels also like: peanuts in the shell, raw whole pumpkin seeds, pistachios in the shells, all fresh fruits and vegetables are vital to all of our animals diets, And this year we are so happy to announce that we have a new veterinarian on call, this is huge, but will be costly. I will be needing vaccines for the babies, antibiotics, deworming meds, and Syringes. Daily we use, laytex gloves, paper towels, baby bottles, bleach, p*e pads, towels(your old towels work great) dawn dish soap to rid babies of fleas, and other crawly things when they first come in.
