Since spring is upon us, at least in my part of the world, I offer a public service announcement: do not kidnap wild animal babies! If you see unattended baby birds, baby bunnies, etc., please do not pick them up and bring them in to a wildlife clinic. Their parents are very likely to return to take care of them after you leave, and they will do better in the wild than in a clinic. Moving them will probably do more harm than good!
Wild Baby Rescue Center, Inc. has a nice summary of how to know when baby wildlife needs your help.
And baby foxes. Wildlife Aid, one of our local wildlife rescue charities, are absolutely inundated at the moment and really shouldn't be...
