Urgent need - Incubators Wildlife baby season is coming!

Urgent need -  Incubators with oxygen kit.  Wildlife baby season is coming!

Did you know that incubators are an integral part of animal rehabilitation, especially for wildlife?

It's true, and we have an urgent need for two more for the upcoming baby season. A second incubator for the nursery and one for our isolation building, the Sophie Jam Bird House.

As an organization who receives over 350 animals a year, these machines aren’t just helpers, they’re full-time employees!

What do we use these incubators for?

Well, with baby season just around the corner, incubators are used to help our babies keep a regulated body temperature because many of them can’t do that by themselves until they’re much older.

Is it only for babies?  Surprisingly, no!

We’ve had many patients, big and small, furry and feathered, take up residence in our incubators while they’re healing from various injuries and ailments. The main goal of this incubator is to keep the animals warm and regulated, even when their own bodies can’t.

The addition of an oxygen kit to the incubators allows us to use oxygen therapy which can be an important treatment for wildlife in rehabilitation to help stabilize them, improve their respiratory function, and support their recovery. For example, oxygen therapy can help birds recover from head trauma.

How can I help? Donate and spread the word!

Every set of eyes we can get on this helps us get that much closer to adding these two integral pieces of equipment to our facility before the babies start arriving.

From all of us here, feathered, furry and human, thank you!

Note: Any funds raised above our goal will be used towards the many additional costs of the upcoming baby season including food, medical treatment, other items from our Amazon wishlist etc.
