Please do not...
-
Give a wild animal food or water. This prevents us from accurately assessing the animals condition, and most of the time advice on what to do/feed from the internet is not accurate, which can be harmful and may result in the death of the animal.
-
Remove an animal from its situation unless they are clearly unsafe (such as in a roadway).
-
Try to raise the animal yourself. It is illegal to raise or keep wild animals without special permits. Raising wildlife is not the same as raising a domesticated animal and is often very difficult to do. Animals raised by humans often become habituated to them and cannot be released into the wild. Wild animals belong in the wild and do not make good pets.
-
Pickup with your bare hands or let pets interact with wildlife. As they may transmit diseases to you and your pets.
