RMRP rescues dozens of babies each year. Sometimes they get accidentally bumped out of the nest. At other times, the babies grow so fast that one is inadvertently pushed out. Spring storms create a steady stream of admissions to our facility when nests are destroyed or trees are blown down. Trauma is the leading cause of admission to RMRP, but orphaned babies are the second most frequent reason. Babies need lots of “whole foods” such as mice and rats, initially cut into small pieces, but before long, these voracious babies are eating them whole. Click “Read More” for additional photos.
