Description
This is the last in our series of episodes on Eastern Cottontail rabbits. Laura and I had a great conversation talking about housing of cottontails at all ages. They are a little easier to house than many of the other animals rehabilitators care for. We also talk in depth about release criteria and all the details to think about to make their transition to the wild as successful as possible.This is a long one, so you may have to pause and come back to it --maybe while you are feeding baby buns! Check out the videos, if you haven't already, on stimulating young rabbits to urinate, doing an intake exam, and syringe feeding on the Wildlife Rehabilitation From Rescue to Release website.
