Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation

3R Rescues: Raleigh Rodent Rescue has a licensed small mammal wildlife rehabber on our volunteer staff to help care for orphaned and injured wild animals. Visit this page to see who we've helped lately...

Squeezle, Rikers, and Folsom: Squeezle was discovered running up to dogs at a training class at a local park! She had been orphaned when a storm destroyed her family's nest. Mothers often reject babies if the infant's body temperature gets too low. Squeezle was too young to understand the dangers of the world so she was taken in and cared for until she was properly weaned. Since squirrels do better after release if they are raised with other squirrels, so a kind rehabber from Wildlife Welfare transferred a pair of orphaned baby squirrels to us to keep Squeezle company. Folsom and Rikers grew to be two proud and playful boys. All 3 were returned to the wild in May. We wish them loads of luck and happiness.

Many many mice! A whole litter was brought in with mom when trapped by someone who found them in their home. They were ready to be released when this pic was taken, can you tell? :) Mom broke out and went on the lam for a few days, but was returned to the wild safely with the help of a live trap.
