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. Let me know your thoughts on this series! gailbuhl@umn.eduSpecial thanks to Partners For Wildlife and The Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine.

This podcast is dedicated to licensed wildlife rehabilitators and the veterinarians who support them.Each episode tackles topics about the rescue, care, management, reconditioning and release of wildlife found in North America - diving deep into each topic. Our aim is to give rehabilitators practical information they can use, because they’re already going to great lengths to rescue and nurse animals back to health.An injured or orphaned wild animal’s journey to restored health and independence in their natural habitat is delicate and complex: We draw techniques and expertise from many disciplines. We'll get into the three possible outcomes for wildlife in rehabilitation: Release, Euthanasia and Placement.
