Safety Precautions
Thank you for saving for the animal you have found.
Birds of Prey - Hawks and owls have strong, sharp talons and will use them.
The larger ones can do serious damage. Call for advice on handling large raptors.
Adult Mammals - Raccoons, opossums, squirrels, and other mammals are strong and will bite. Use caution.
Wear gloves and use a towel to cover the eyes.
Baby Birds - Small birds are very fragile. Be extremely gentle.
Children often squeeze these birds too hard and cause fatal internal injuries.
Baby Mammals - Baby raccoons, opossums, bunnies, and squirrels require special formulas and feeding techniques.
Please, do not feed.
Skunks and Bats - Never touch a skunk or bat with bare hands. Use gloves. Occassionally, they have rabies. Keep them safe by keeping yourself safe.
