Today the nicest man with the best of intentions found a flying squirrel rolling in the road. He decided to try to help it. The 1st thing he did was throw a Carmel nut bar in with it. The squirrel was so hungry he dove right in. Not only can feeding wildlife kill them if they are dehydrated cold or can aspirate this poor guy was covered in sticky Carmel & his eyes were stuck shut. He had all the food stuck to him. Wish him luck he is in really bad shape.
Perfect timing Sunny Kellner! Thanks for sharing! ❤️

Our baby squirrels are growing up & moving out. Our 1st group of 4 have been released. They are still using their release cage as the safty zone as they acclimate.
The squirrels that were furless are now fully furred & in their release cage getting used to the area. They will be released in a week or so.
We open a small hole in the cage. They can come & go for as long as they need until they build their own nests. Predators can not get in.
We still support feed them as they acclimate. We could use some help doing that. We can use peanuts sunflower seeds, & pumpkin seeds to give them a meal during the day.
Please check out our Amazon wish list if you would like to help. There are other things on the we are in short supply of right now. Disposable gloves , paper towels & laundry detergent.
Any support would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for following & caring.

Sadly this is spot on. All I wanted to do is help people help wildlife to give them a 2nd chance at life. Each year it gets increasingly difficult. 💔

Would-be wildlife rehabilitators in Connecticut face a hostile public and a lack of veterinary support, veteran rehabilitators say.

Remember our bald baby squirrels??? They are making great progress!
Won't be too long before they can go outside. Good thing too! They are extremely wild! As they should be.

Finding volunteers that understand how much work goes into wildlife care is so difficult 😪

Please write to any of the CT State Representatives on this extremely long list of names... and tell them that you support a BILL (HB5219)(ACC Standards for the Spraying of Herbicides Along Railroad Right of Ways as amended with LCO 4156) to BAN the USE and the SALE of SGARS statewide. SGARS or Second Generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides are responsible for countless unintentional victims across the globe. These super lethal and toxic ingredients should not be allowed to be used ANYWHERE since they are so dangerous and there is no way to streamline these ingredients to target only one animal. Poisons kill all who ingest it... including non-targeted wildlife, household pets, and even small children.

This baby Great Horned Owlet died because of someone using SGARS instead of the many alternatives available. To learn more, visit our website under alternatives.

THIS LINK WILL BRING YOU TO THE
CT HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Please take action on behalf of the countless victims that do not have a voice.

Squirrels are here! A family of 4 came in about 3wks ago. Their tree was taken down & home owner took them in instead of giving mom a chance to come back for them. Reuniting is always best. Moms will create new nests & move her babies in. They are thriving, starting to eat solid food & getting wild.
Then we got in an almost hairless baby girl. I have seen this a few times over the years. It seems to be a vitamin deficiency. We have corrected it in the past by a healthy diet & lots of leafy greens. This girl was being harassed by crows. She is terrified of us but will nurse on formula.
We could use support filling all their needs. If you would like to help their are many ways. We could use financial help to do the necessary repairs on their pre-release cage. You can go to PayPal & donate by putting in [email protected]. You can go to our Amazon Wish list. We can use mouse & rat rodent block, Applesauce & walnuts to make nutritious food. You can DM me & I will let you know what fresh foods we can use in the moment. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for following & caring ❤️

THANK YOU CT Environmental Committee for passing HB 5217! and to all of you who wrote legislators in support of HB 5217 to help get it passed through the CT Environmental Committee as a BAN on the use of SGARS statewide. On to the House, then the Senate. Keep writing Legislators to move this all the way through as LAW. Don't let the countless unintentional victims die in vain...

The Coyote pup Woohitike this morning.
Well my work is done. Woohitike hanging with her two siblings and she is looking great. She went from pulling herself along the ground with her front paws only, a bout with mange along with other issues and look at her now. Her name says it all... Strength and Courage.
And thank all of you for the support you have given me while I helped her along.

Fox fun!

Scavenger hunt for live meal worms 🪱. They are digging it!

Just a couple of stinkers playing in the dirt. Meanwhile the baby Coon believes I have forgotten to feed her. No coons were starved in the making of this video. 😄

Happy hops are so much fun!

Feeding & cleaning this morning. Running errands this afternoon. Picking up food for me & the animals. Home for the next feedings. Ha! I'm finding it difficult to find the energy clean my house! It really needs it.

Afternoon snack. Strawberry applesauce. 🍓 💕

This mama possum came in on Friday. She was hit by a car. She has severe head trauma & will loose one eye. She has 7 babies in her pouch that are too small to rehab. She is under a veterinarian's care & is improving in leaps & bounds. She likes my cooking. Wish her & her babies luck. 💕

Welcome to the neighborhood.

I got to watch my fawns interact with a young wild buck this morning. The buck was practicing his courting skills. He needs more practice. 😆

Thanks for the help

Otis & the hurricanes! They sure can jam! Wish you all could be here! Great day thanks to all

This is what it's all about!

We have been enjoying the best part of rehab these last several weeks. Setting them free where they belong. Everyone was ready, except for 1. The world looked too big. With a litte encouraging he moved on. A huge thank you to Sam Bucur & her friend Austin for their help filming editing & volunteering! Thanks for following & caring ❤️

Tons of fun!

Our small herd on their morning romp. So awesome to see them having fun! It's a jolly good time!

1st fox kit of the season.

Our 1st fox of the season! She was orphaned & has a bad wound on the inside of a rear leg. She has been in the care of another rehaber before she came to us. She still limps & has some healing to do. As you can see she is feeling a lot better. We are hoping to find her some buddies soon. ❤

The neighbors getting to know each other.

Tons of fun!

Fingers & toes are so fun! She is really feeling better.

Poor beautiful baby.

THIS is why we still need to push CT Bill SB 239 with amendments. Please write your legislators to ask them to support this bill so that we can put an end to the devastation these poisons are causing. Enough already. https://www.cga.ct.gov/asp/menu/CGAFindleg.asp is the link to find your local legislators. Please write in support of SB 239 before this session is over. This beautiful fox kit came in today seizering. The homeowners have been enjoying watching the family grow & play. By the time I could find a vet to examine her she passed away. It looks like she died from ingesting rodent poison.. a very teachable moment. We could not have saved her no matter when I got her to a vet. The fox baby was not the target animal, but lost her life. Poison kills more than just rodents. There is a huge ripple effect. Raptors fox dogs cats & more will die. Please inform yourself on the effects of this. Snap traps are humane & it is safe for any other animal to eat the rodents. So many animals come into rehab because of humans. We can easily change that! All rehabbers are dealing with animals that didn't need to be there. We do our best to help them, but we get overwhelmed with wildlife that come in because of human failure. Please inform yourself on the best ways to deal with wildlife issues. We are all gods creatures. We all have a right to share mother earth 🌎. I'm waiting to hear if this will also effect the rest of the fox family. :(

Moving on up!

Our squirrels spent their first night in their new cage. All 7 are together. Now grow some more & go through complete the weening process & they will be ready to go out to their pre-release enclosure.
