Back To Nature Wildlife Refuge -Raccoon Rehab

One of my babies, Rufus; about 7 weeks, found a mirror while he was out -I was cleaning his enclosure. 🐾 “Ah…., my protector!”

( I do have a special “rehab room” to keep them from making too many messes or destroying my house!!) If you have any questions…let me know by first adding- “QUESTION” What does a newborn raccoon, squirrel, opossum, owlet, etc. look like? And I will try to get get back asap. 🤙

👉 If you’d like to see more pics of your favorite resident or rehab ….just let me know! (I did work there for 10 yrs and just volunteer now (after getting Lyme disease, Fibromyalgia,CFS W/ P.O.T.S.) I still raise them and mentor our UCF college interns. Visit our website: btnwildlife.org

✋ 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄: ITS ILLEGAL TO KEEP WILDLIFE AS PETS W/O A PERMIT. 𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐄𝐕𝐄 𝐌𝐄 .....Raccoons 𝐃𝐎 𝐍𝐎𝐓 make for good pets. These, the ones I show, are orphaned, injured, or seized in peoples homes by Fish and Wildlife officers, for housing an illegal “pet” without a permit! They only come to me or my family Bc I AM the only mom they, usually, have known.

BTN Has a Facebook, Instagram sites and please, visit our website to see the 50+ refuge residents (they were too injured to be released or exotics from websites and are not native to Florida...so we can’t return them - “back to nature”…heh,heh 🤙) we call them our “Educational Ambassadors”; like 3 Lemurs, 2 Fl bobcats, CA Cougar (we've had since he was seized at 18 mo. Old -he just passed at 16yrs old!)
