As much as nescessary - as little as possible
We provide temporary care for sick, injured, diseased or orphaned wildlife until it is capable of fending for itself with the aim: “To give each animal the best chance of post-release survival in its natural place in the wild”.
We provide care, not vet treatment – if an injury is severe or a condition threatening, seek expert advice.
Long-term care is highly stressful for an animal and often results in the break-down of the immune system or in complications (new injuries).
