How to Help Young Wildlife
Observe, don’t disturb -
- If the animal isn’t in immediate danger, the best thing you can do is observe it from a distance
Keep pets away -
- Cats and dogs, even the friendly ones, can unintentionally harm young wildlife
Avoid feeding or handling -
- Feeding wild animals, especially young ones, can make them dependent on humans and increase their chances of not surviving on their own. A shallow dish of water is fine
Create wild spaces -
- Leave some undergrowth or logs for hiding spots, and avoid using chemicals, creating a safe space for young animals to grow & thrive, whilst they find their feet
If you find a sick or injured animal -
- Using gloves or a thick towel, place the animal into a secure box with air holes
- Do not give any food or water; instead, contact local animal control and a wildlife rescue.
Seek assistance for large animals -
- If it is a large animal like a fox, badger, deer, or large bird of prey, please contact local animal control and a wildlife rescue
