#9 Baby Skunk Fell Asleep In My Hand Yesterday As I Returned It To Its Burrow
Not a pet. My son found it in the driveway. I’ve seen its mother on the hill above my house, always in the same spot. Figured it was where they lived, and I was right; there was another baby sleeping outside a hole in the ground. It ran into it when I approached, so I set its sibling down next to where it was sleeping. It ran inside.

#29 One Of Our Baby Raccoon Rescues Is Waving “Hello”
My wife has her wildlife rehabilitation license in Florida, and the doctor at the veterinarian clinic she works at sees wildlife pro bono, so we often have all sorts of wildlife in our home. The patients we have eventually “graduate” to another local rehabilitator who has much more space and resources than we do, but sometimes we get to facilitate a release.

#34 I Moved In Recently With My Friend, Right After She Got A Puppy

#35 Javelina Baby
We’re still getting javelina babies (also called “reds”) this time of year. If separated from their mothers and the herd, it can be touch-and-go for a few weeks because they’re pretty sensitive to the cold. For these adorable (but feisty!) babes, a heat source is a must for survival. Depending on their age at arrival, we offer a warm incubator, ceramic heat lamps, heating pads, or heated mats in their enclosures until they’re several months old and ready for life with a new herd. Oh, and they all get a cuddle buddy!
