Giving Nature's children a second chance
Frequently asked questions
Who is Lauren?
There is no one at LWR named Lauren; we are located in Laurens County, Georgia, named after John Laurens, a Revolutionary War hero and military aide to George Washington.
Can I keep the baby squirrel/bird/possum/rabbit I found as a pet?
No. State and federal regulations prohibit the possession of wildlife without the proper permits.
What can I feed the wild baby I found?
It’s best if you don’t feed wild babies anything at all unless directed to do so by a licensed wildlife rehabilitator in the event that you can't get the wildlife to the rehabber immediately. Improper diets, even for a short time, can create serious, long-lasting and sometimes deadly problems for wildlife.
Keep the baby warm and in a quiet, safe location until you contact a rehabber--and do this ASAP. Not tomorrow, not next week--TODAY. That baby's life and health depend on your getting it to a properly trained and licensed individual ASAP.
