Hi guys Ted here, long story short we live in Florida and have rehabbed a ton of animals over the years. We just had the hurricane come thru recently and am now rehabbing squirrels which is second nature to me. Buuuutt,
We finally got our hurricane debris picked up. Wife was observing it on our security cameras. Then all of the sudden the crane operator stops and gets out and walks over to the debris he was picking up. She tells me he stopped and is looking down at the debris pile. First thing I think is, crap some type of babies.
I walk out, ask him whats up? Some animals in the debris he said. I walk over quickly fearing the worst and it happened. The crane claw had grabbed thru a nest on the ground. I saw those huge ears and realized they were baby Eastern Cottontails.
4 of them. The crane de-capitated one, squished another, paralized the backs legs of one, and one got away unharmed.
So, the healthy one is doing great pooing peeing and taking formula, hopping all around however the paralyzed one is not peeing. She poo's tiny specs and drinks, water, formula but no pee!!! Because of her condition I soak her in warm sink of water and she LOVES it but no pee. Anyone have any insight?
Thanks!!
