I found an orphaned fawn in a field one day and had to find a rehab. I found RIVER ROCK WILDLIFE REHAB and they needed volunteers, since I love all animals I volunteered and as I learned more and more byelping , I became an apprentice, now I'm on my way to my own rehab. As of now I am using heating pads under the cages to keep them warm, but all of the heating pads now come with auto shut off. So in the middle of the night when it cuts off many of the babies that need to stay warm for weeks to survive pass away. Having an incubator to keep the babies warm and be able to control the temperature would save more than 100 animals per year. I rehab an average of 75-100 baby animals a year and this would help ensure that they always stay warm so they will eat, as well as allow me to take on more animals to help in the process and save more little furry lives.
#1 rule of rehabbing babies, ALWAYS KEEP THEM WARM!!
Anyone who donated I thank you in advance.
