The babies are flowing in. Would you consider helping us raise this years wildlife? Our last box of mice was $570, lasted 6 weeks, and we have added 2 more owlets. There are many items on our baby registry we need. You can also purchase gift cards from our food distributor Rodent Pro. Links to registry in comments 💚💙.

We have our first reptile babies of the year! These 2 Yellow-bellied Sliders were found before the last freeze. They still had their yolk sacs. We will get them released once the temperature stops freezing.

We are up to 5 baby Great Horned Owlets. We depend on donations to help care for the hundreds of patients we will take in this year. You can help by purchasing from our baby registry, donating on PayPal, or buying a rodent pro gift card. We are also in need of deer or rabbit meat. Please see comments for links. Tell a friend.

It is Baby Shower time. Would you please help us provide for the babies? Link in comments to baby registry. FB seems to not like links attached in the main feed. There is also a link to Rodent Pro if you would like to help feed the baby raptors.

Our newest patient took a hit to his face. He has a crack in his beak and a fairly bad concussion. If you would like to contribute to his care you can use our PayPal charity link

Sharing again, still no raise funds button. Thanks FB 🙃

This Bald Eagle 🦅could use your help. For some reason the donate button on FB posts isn't available so here's our PayPal link. You don't need to have a PayPal to use it. You can also donate directly on our FB home page.

This is eagle 3 out of 4 in last 30 days. He came in from the Newport area. His blood test revealed he had lead poisoning too high for the lead test machine to read. In most cases, this is a death sentence. We had to get xrays to make sure the lead had passed through his system, it had. Then we started chelation treatment, the process to remove the lead. Tonight we rechecked his bloodwork, and we are down to a readable level (16.5 ug/dL). He started a second round of chelation tonight, this should clear his system once complete. Chelation medication is expensive and having to treat this bird twice took out our supply. If you are able to help us replace this life saving medicine, future wildlife patients would be very thankful. We are also in need of deer meat if you can make a donation of deer. We are always asked how they get lead poisoning, its from hunting with lead shot. Please make the switch to nonlead ammo. If you hunt with lead you are most likely eating lead too. Shout out to Carolina Rehabilitators of Wildlife Inc. for picking up this bird and transporting him.
