I would like to thank Karisa Bethune-Zinsmayer for the donation of Force Flex trash bags and one dozen towels to Operation Orphan Wildlife Rehabilitation. I use A LOT of towels. They are used to put on the bottom of the bins that baby animals are in, to wrap around the snuggle-safe heat source for the babies, covering the babies and the bins. Plus, they are used to hold the babies when I am feeding them. The right supplies and equipment to work with make life easier! – Fran.

Baby Season | groundhog | Mammals

On a day that was pouring down rain. I got a call about a baby groundhog that was on a sidewalk outside a dorm at Kent State.

It was under seven (7) days old and it’s toes were still fused together. At first I thought he had been washed out of it’s den from all the rain. After inspecting the little guy, I found three small puncture holes. Two on the shoulder and one on its back hip, which indicates a predator,…
