Due to the EXTREMELY high volume of bunny nest robbing going on we are posting this fun infographic. In the last 3 days we've sent more than 20 bunnies back with their finders.

PLEASE PUT THE BUNNY BACK!

They live outside! Yes, it gets cold outside, they will be fine. They have fur coats and their moms make good fur lined nests.

PLEASE PUT THE BUNNY BACK!

The whole flour/cornstarch string thing is completely false, don't waste your time...have you ever seen how a momma bunny feeds? She spreads her legs and straddles the nest...she's never going to touch the flour/cornstarch that you so carefully placed right next to the nest. Any kind of string left outside is dangerous for wildlife, please don't do this! This is an excellent way to provide a strangulation hazard. INSTEAD, call a wildlife rehabilitator and for the love of all things holy, stay off of Dr. Google (he really doesn't know how to raise bunnies)

Seriously, put the bunny back in the nest and contact a wildlife rehabilitator BEFORE you touch the bunnies. You are not helping them, you are kidnapping them from their mom and although we specialize in bunnies...we will NEVER be as good as their real mom. The nest robbed bunnies are taking up spots for bunnies that really need our help.

PLEASE PUT THE BUNNY BACK!

Poachers take note: You can run, but you can’t hide.

A former Pennsylvania resident who fled to Kentucky to avoid facing a host of game-law charges was brought back Wednesday, May 26, 2021 by state police and turned over to the Pennsylvania Game Commission.

Zachary L. Scheffel, 41, formerly of Milroy, Mifflin County, touched down Wednesday at Capitol City Airport in New Cumberland and immediately was taken by game wardens to Mifflin County Prison, where he is jailed in lieu of $10,000 bail on 72 counts – including two felonies – of violating various game laws, as well as a charge of making, repairing or selling offensive weapons. Scheffel was charged in September by State Game Warden Amanda Isett after the ex*****on of a search warrant uncovered a multitude of game-law violations, including two felony charges for the unlawful killing or taking of deer.

Presently Scheffel faces two felony counts of unlawfully killing or taking of big game, two counts of unlawful acts concerning licenses, 33 counts of unlawful taking or possession of game or wildlife, two counts of unlawful devices and methods, 18 counts of exercising the privileges granted by a permit without first securing the required permit, 15 counts of unlawful acts concerning the taking of furbearers, and a misdemeanor count of making, repairing or selling offensive weapons.

There is a very good chance you may see a nestling/fledgeling great horned owl on the ground this time of year. This is normal and the parents will take care of them on the ground. Please observe before interfearing, and look for any obvious injury, flys, blood or unable to stand or the owl seems to be in distress or trouble please contact us. Also, take a picture and send it us to see if the animal needs admmitted.

This large owl is sometimes called the tiger of the air. It is an
adept aerial predator with powerful talons capable of crushing
the spinal column of prey larger than itself. The great horned
owl weighs up to 3.5 pounds, is 19 to 24 inches in length and
has a wingspan range of 3 feet to nearly 5 feet. Females are
slightly larger than males. A great horned owl has soft brown
plumage above, mottled with grayish-white; undersides of
light gray barred with dark; a “collar” of white feathers on
the upper breast; a rust-colored face; and prominent ear
tufts, the so-called horns, up to 2 inches long. Great horned
owls are often mobbed by crows and other birds because of
their predatory habits. The great horned owl is the night-time
equivalent of the red-tailed hawk.

The great horned is known as the “hoot owl” for its call,
three to eight (usually five) deep, booming, uninflected
hoots: hoo-hoohoo hoo, given in a pattern somewhat like
a Morse code message and has great carrying power. The
hoot of the larger female is higher pitched than that of the
male due to her smaller syrinx. These owls hoot to stake
out territory and as part of the species’ mating activity. The
courtship of great horned owls extends from fall into early
winter, providing many nights of hooting serenades with pairs
dueting in synchronized hooting sessions. In Pennsylvania,
nesting females are on eggs in February and early March and
occasionally as early as late January. After fledging, the young
owls beg from their parents with a high-pitched call that
sounds somewhat like a barn owl’s call, but less raspy. These
night-time barking calls are sometimes given from prominent
posts like tree tops and utility poles.
