Description

During your internship you will become mom or dad to baby raccoons, squirrels, opossums, deer, beaver and many more adorable little critters. You will have the responsibility of feeding and cleaning these animals from the day they arrive at our Centre. Babies are fed every two hours, 3 hours, 4 hours as they grow until they become weaned. This varies slightly species to species. You will also be responsible for sharing all household chores such as laundry, cleaning etc.

Highlights

The major highlight of your internship will be the rewarding feeling you get when your babies bond to you and when you see your babies thrive and grow from your love and care you provided over the term of your internship. If you stay long enough a further reward of seeing your babies mature and be released back into the wilderness where they belong.
