A Baby May Need to be Rescued

A baby may need to be rescued:

• If the mother is known to be dead or has not returned to the babies in more than a few hours. If the babies have eyes closed the mother will not stay away for more than a few minutes, depending on species.
• If it is injured or has been attacked.
• If it is lying on its side, stretched out and cold.
• If the eyes are still closed and it is out of the nest.

Here are a few things you should NEVER do:

• Don’t give water or food, including milk, which is especially  deadly, to an injured or orphaned animal.
• Don’t leave pets or children outside when a fledgling is on the ground.
• Don’t cut a tree down without looking to see if there’s a squirrel
  or bird’s nest in it.
• Don’t allow pets or children to disturb a rabbit’s nest.
