I’ve always been an animal lover as my family and friends can attest to. I try to help all animals in need no matter what the species is. We live in the woods and keep a trail camera out so I see what’s around and enjoy watching the wildlife. Not only do I get the pleasure of watching their shenanigans but also see those that may be injured. Last year, our local wildlife rehab organization helped me twice within the summer with injured and orphaned wildlife. I met some great people and learned so much through them about rehabbing. I’ve now taken their class, working under a wonderful mentor as an apprentice, and currently rehabbing a squirrel and an opossum, with more to come I’m sure. The ultimate goal is to rehab and release back into the wild where they will go on to live the life they were meant to live. Obtaining an incubator will provide babies with warmth and healing especially for tiny babies that aren’t old or big enough to regulate their own body heat. Also, an incubator will control the heat and atmosphere much better than a heating pad which can be too hot and hard to regulate with babies. An incubator will be a blessing.
