 The baby season has begun at Greenwood! There are about 28 squirrel babies at the Center, and luckily, there were plenty of volunteers to help with the seemingly endless task of feeding all the hungry babies. There were also two baby rabbits that had recently been brought into the Center. While Greenwood accepts them, baby rabbits are very difficult to rehabilitate and young ones are transferred to a home-based wildlife rehabilitator who specializes exclusively in rabbits. The one pictured below is about the size of a fingerling potato and so cute! Soon the raccoon babies will start filtering into Greenwood and then things will really pick up. What does Greenwood need in order to care for all these animals? Money, of course, and volunteers who have had their rabies pre-exposure vaccinations! There are plenty of other volunteer positions available, too, so if you're interested in helping out, just give them a call (303-828-8455) or send an email ([email protected]). Thanks for reading and thanks, Greenwood, for all you do to give wild animals a second chance!    Comments are closed.
