Bruiser's Buddies Wildlife Rehabilitation

Bruiser's Buddies Wildlife Rehabilitation Bruiser's Buddies is a NY state licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/381N8GTAQESE?ref_=list_d_wl_ys_list_1

We help injured & orphaned wildlife, particularly grey squirrels, but we can take any small mammals, and birds. Bruiser's Buddies Wildlife Rehabilitation is run by NY state licensed wildlife rehabilitator Casey Wright, with assistance from her family. Our goal is to provide temporary care to injured and orphaned wildlife with the goal of releasing them to the wild. We are also connected to a group

of 27 rehabilitators across western and central NY, so if we can't help you with an animal, we can likely connect you with someone who can. We currently accept a limited number of birds, as well as squirrels (our primary focus), chipmunks, voles, moles, groundhogs, opossums, and turtles. We do not accept rabies vector species-raccoons, bats, or skunks- but can connect you with resources. We also do not accept or have transport for deer, geese, turkeys, or foxes. We are able to accept and transport birds including hawks and owls. Any and all funds raised through this page will be used exclusively for supplies and veterinary care for the wildlife we receive. We do not currently have a local veterinarian to work with so we have to take animals to Cornell for treatment. They will treat releasable animals at no cost, but we may also use funds collected here for gas.

Hi Bruiser's Buddies! As you all (probably) know by now, wildlife rehabilitation is volunteer work. As rehabbers, we're able to partner with Babywarm to get high quality incubators with crowd funding. Y'all helped me get two incubators years ago, and now one of our new local rehabbers, Vicky, is raising funds for her first incubator. Vicky has stepped up right out of the gate, taking bunnies and squirrels, reading everything she can about their care, and asking good questions. I'm asking you, my Buddies, to chip in if you can, because an incubator can make such a huge difference for our wild babies. If you can't, please don't, but do share the post and we'll get her there in no time!

ALSO huge thanks to the Buddies who sent Amazon wishlist stuff this week!! I'm no longer getting gift receipts in the boxes 😭 so I don't know who to thank but Finnegan (pictured admiring his mountain of snacks) and friends are most appreciative!!

Adult intake time. Instill have my three late spring babies who won't be in release for another three weeks so I'm trying not to get more babies just yet! Injured adults continue to come in though, and unfortunately my loss rate is pretty high right now 😕. But this one seems to be in better shape, and might also be pregnant so fingers crossed we can get her through!

Update, all 11(!!!) babies in the pouch were alive and have been taken in by Tina, the rehabber behind Nature's Rebound. They all weigh between 15-18g, which is good news because anything under 12g is typically too underdeveloped to survive outside mama. Some of them are pretty banged up, but fingers crossed that they can make it 💗
Shout out to Bruiser's Buddy Barb for stopping to check a deceased opossum for babies, finding live babies, and dropping everything to take them to an opossum rehabber on the other side of town! Always keep some gloves and a box in your car, and if you have time, stop and check pouches! It's better to leave the babies in the pouch and bring us the whole mama, as upsetting as that can be, because opossum babies swallow the ni**le into their stomach and stay there, and there's a very specific way they have to be removed to avoid issues. Finders are the first step towards releasing healthy animals, and we appreciate you!!!

Sometimes a squirrel comes in and people think it's a bunny, or vice versa.
Sometimes a squirrel comes in and IT thinks it's a bunny, and then you get a Squabbit.
Slowpoke demonstrates.
I believe he has the longest ears of any squirrel I've ever had. He also loves watermelon.

How they started and how they ended up 💗
Note Fidget, who came in with the badly broken front leg (dog attack) hanging upside down, which he did for a solid 15-20 minutes with no issues! Bibarrel was cat caught, and Skwovet was found injured by an unknown predator soaking wet after a storm.

Yesterday was pre release day for Bibarrel, Skwovet and Fidget!! Long time release host Adrienne will provide food and water for the next week or two ,(these guys are older than usual for pre release and may need less time to acclimate) and then we'll open the doors to freedom. But they seem very pleased with their new digs and were taking in all of the sounds and smells. 💗🐿️

Hi Buddies! Bucky and Barnes are enjoying their freedom! Barnesy however decided that once he was out, release host Mama Jes should lead him around the yard 🤣 he's so cute and his tail is so fluffy and I'm just so happy he gets to be a real life wild squirrel. This is the payoff for months of work, waking up every four hours for weeks, chopping endless salads, going through pounds and pounds of pellets and seeds, I don't know how many branches get sacrificed to the squirrels every year but based on the discard pile out front...it's a lot. Thank you all for your support, I couldn't do this without your help!
I've still got six squirrels left to get outside, so if you're inclined to send more supplies, our wishlist is at https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/381N8GTAQESE?ref_=list_d_wl_ys_list_1&filter=unpurchased&sort=date-added&viewType=list

And venmo

Thank you all, as always!
