Conservation through Rehabilitation

Step 1

Handle with care and caution.

• First, determine if the animal needs help

• Wear gloves and use thick towels, even with the smallest animal

• NEVER touch an animal with bare hands

• Use extra caution with skunks, fox, raccoons and bats

• Get it into a secure box right away

Step 2

DO NOT feed or treat the wildlife.

Improper feeding can cause:

• Bloat

• Diarrhea

• Aspiration Pneumonia

• Death

Wildlife can stand a good amount of time without food or water.

Step 3

Keep the animal stress-free

• Put the animal in a secure box

• Place the box in a dark, quiet and warm place

• Do not handle or keep looking at the animal

• Stay very quiet and keep pets away

Step 4
