It is now almost May and babies are coming in to rehab. The trickle will soon be a flood of babies, but hwere are all the baby squirrels? They start coming in as early as January. All of us rehabbers are checking with each other to see if anyone has gotten any baby squirrels yet? A few have come in, but that is all. Did the cold winter delay the spring babies? Will there be one long baby season instead of two this year? We will have to wait and see.
There are some other babies in rehab now so the nursery is not empty. I just received my third litter of baby raccoons. A couple of days ago I received a call about a fit kit that had just run into a garbage truck. I picked the little guy up and brought him home. His injuries are consistant with a head hit into the wheel of the truck. We had a rough day or two but he is doing much better today. I have a video oh him I will load soon so you can see him. Fox kits are absolutely adorable. As soon as he is healthy again, I will put him with the other two kits I have in the outside pen.
The four litters of baby bunnies were ready for release and went on thir way Tuesday. It looked like a little furry herd grazing on clover. I hoep you are enjoying the wonderful weather as much as they are!
