Baby birds are not fed overnight. Baby mammals can go without feeding overnight.
What babies need is warmth and quiet until you get them to a rehabilitator.
Contain the baby. Provide warmth using a hot water bottle or heating pad set on low. Do not use a heat lamp—it can burn the baby.
Do not attempt to feed the baby. If it is too cold, too dehydrated, or too injured, you will cause further harm. If the baby dies overnight, it will not be because it wasn’t fed.
Please have your phone with you in the morning so that you don’t miss our call.
Fellow Mortals is not funded by your tax dollars, which is why we don’t have 24-hour staff. If you keep the animal contained, warm, and quiet overnight, we will be able to help tomorrow. If the animal passes overnight, you will still have made a difference by providing a safe and peaceful place.
