 a great book to have on hand November 5, 2009
John Lumsden
This wonder book has such great information that has
truly helped me, I found a baby homeless squirrel and
didn't know the first thing to do for it. Thanks to my
neighbor friend that had a copy of this book, we gave
this baby a nice home and fed it according to the book
just what it needed. I grew up fat and sassy. We have
large birds that are killing our squirrels, but our baby
is safe so far. I was jealous that she had such a knowledgeable book, that I just had to buy one for myself.
Sincerely
The Lumsdens

I got this book when I became interested in wildlife rehabilitation. I read it and then started volunteering at a wildlife rehab center. The information in this book helped to give me a head-start in caring for the animals at the center (tho nothing takes the place of hands-on). I recommended it as a good starting point.

This is a great basic book for anyone rehabbing wild birds or mammels. Some things are outdated and you should always seek the advise of someone more experienced in rehabbing for their advise (or a Vet knowlegeable with wildlife)if you aren't sure or contact the National Wildlife Rehabilitation Ass. (NWRA). Always ask yourself, what does it's parents do for it or how does it survive in the wild.I found Practical Wildlife Care, by Les Stoker to be a more indepth, very helpful book to use and add to my ever-growing library

This book is really helpful to me because I am currently taking care of a wild baby bird.I read information on how to feed it,treat any injuries,and the importance of a nest and warmth.The bird is doing really well now.Care of the Wild,Feathered,and Furred also has lots of information on squirrels and other small mammals.

This is a handy book to have on any rehabbers bookshelf. HOWEVER, it better not be the only one. Much of the information it contains is old - much advancement has been made over 25 years of rehabbing animals and even though this book has been "revised and updated" the diets and feeding information seem to have remained the same. For example - baby birds should not be encouraged to drink milk or water. You are more likely to drown them than help them. Baby birds get their water from the food their parents (or rehabber) properly provides. Still, as a resource for splinting and caring for injuries, there is some valuable information. Just be sure to supplement it with some newer publications as well.
