Wild Things: The fainting fawn

Yes, fainting fawn!

So, I know that I just did a post on Wild Things, but this video just has to be posted:

The beginning has the fawn's back story, and if you fast forward to 3:28, that's when he faints, the poor baby.

Wild Things update

Here's an update on that wonderful wildlife sanctuary, Wild Things!

In addition to the many baby animals they get this time of year, WT has had several fawns, two of which are being bottle-fed by me and my mom in the picture.

(Note: that's not Pepsi we're feeding them, it's a special fawn formula. We just recycled the bottles.)

Remember, if you see a fawn hanging about without it's mother, leave it. chances are, the mother will come back. Fawns are very good about staying put while their mom goes off for a while. But if you know that the fawn is an orphan, or if it becomes continually starved and cries for hours, than call a wildlife rehabilitator.

Wild Things

Just an update on Wild Things Sanctuary.

This is one of their newest additions: an orphaned squirrel. He was so young when he was found that he hadn't even opened his eyes (he has in the weeks that have followed however). And he is syringe fed a special formula for babies, as shown in the picture.

Wild Things Sanctuary

As well as volunteering at the SPCA Annex, I also volunteer at the Wild Things Sanctuary in Ithaca.
Wild Things is a non profit wildlife rehabilitation center. It is dedicated to helping wildlife however it can, and once the animals Wild Things take in are healthy and happy, they are released into the wild.
