Some pics I took today while they were outside for a potty break. I went to my feed store today and got goats milk replacement. I also had to get another nipple because 1 nipple between two hungry fawn just wasnt working out, lol. They are both doing great.

Here in Delaware it's illegal to keep any animals that would normally be in the wild. We're supposed to call the Wildlife Preserve, and they will pick them up. Believe it or not - it applies to rabbits too.

I guess you know that I did not make any calls to them, and I successfully raised some wild bunnies.

Another note - sad tho..On my way in to town this a.m. there was a baby red fox dead on the shoulder of the road. Poor little guy.....

These little guys are adorable. Best of luck raising then!

What will you do when they get bigger? Is there a place you can take them to be released or do you have enough land yourself?

It is also illegal in West Virgina to rehabilitate wild animals without having a permit. Same goes for Wisconsin, where I am. Fairly hefty fine and jail time if found guilty. http://www.wvdnr.gov/2007news/07news069.shtm

Luckily, there is a rehabilitiation center not too far from my house - I make numerous stops there with critters. Most recently, an injured hen mallard - she had the majority of her scalp missing. I'd post a pic, but it is too graphic. How she was still alive I will never understand. I have a feeling they may have put her to sleep ... at least she is out of misery.

The pictures of the faws are adorable! Makes me wish they'd stay that small!!

How sweet they are! I love the photo of them looking at your dog!



Two nights in a row I've seen a doe standing by the side of the road by my building (one lane in each direction and the speed limit is 40). They blend in so well with the trees, and the street lights are far apart. I like to see them, but they move so fast and I am always afraid I won't see them in time while I'm driving. I also saw one in the same spot coming home from church on Sunday. I saw her way in advance, broad daylight, so I was able to slow down in case she decided to walk into the street. She didn't, thank goodness.
