These four babies—Camille, Tammy, Rio, and Davey—arrived on Saturday after being fed human baby formula for a week by a very well-meaning but ill-informed family. Because they didn’t receive the right nutrition for so long, they are a bit behind developmentally. Their legs aren’t quite as strong, and they are not quite as active as the other set of four that are a couple weeks younger than them. They have been thoroughly rehydrated, their little systems have been flushed of all of the human formula, and now they are on a more appropriate diet for growing raccoon babies. Please, if you ever find orphaned wildlife, please contact a licensed rehabber immediately. These little bodies have specific needs, and if they aren’t met, they will die. These friends will probably be ok, but it could have ended very badly.
