Freedom day!! Cottontails look so little when released. When raised by mom, they are on their own at just 3 to 4 weeks old. When they come into rehab, they are a little older when released. It's a delicate balance between holding them to let them grow and not stressing them. This little one has been eating quite well on its own for well over a week so it was time for freedom day ❤️

I've released a bunch and moved more outside but the inside cages are still full. Opossums, squirrels and cottontails are everywhere 😆 All the critters are growing, eating and of course pooping.

What does this mean? Supplies are needed!!
Puppy pads, dry cat food, squirrel food (Oxbow Mouse and Young Rat Food), Smartwater, cleaning supplies and donations towards fresh produce.

SIXTEEN squirrels had the doors open on their release cages today! They've been outside now for four weeks and were definitely ready to get out and explore.

Squirrels are a little different from the other animals I rehab. After opening the door to the outside, they will continue to use the outside cage for shelter and food until they build nests and find food.

It's always good to see them climbing and free. Stay safe little ones!! 🥰

This fella was found today in our local Ferguson's store. He's very happy to now be flea free!!

He also told me he was just looking for a good job. He's hoping once he gets bigger they'll hire him as their mascot. I think he'd be perfect...just look at that smile 😃
