Took a bunny we rescued there. They were very friendly. They said we could call with a status update.

My husband and I found an injured squirrel at Lititz Springs Park in early October; he was crawling along not moving his back legs. We tried calling several wildlife rescue centers that all said they weren't accepting any animals. We were so fortunate to find that Red Creek would be able to take him. I just received a follow up call today after leaving a message last week to inquire on his status and was so happy to hear it was a minor injury and he's recovering and receiving "squirrel physical therapy" and will plan to be released into the wild in the spring. The amount of care given to these animals by Red Creek as well as the follow up they're willing to provide to those of us dropping off the animals is simply amazing. What a great organization!

I had some baby birds in my fireplace. Called several wildlife rescue centers and no one would take them. Red Creek was very enthusiastic and helpful. Gave me some pointers in preparation for travel. Dropped them off the next day. Met a staff person in parking lot who took them, explained what type of bird, and said they should be fine.

I am grateful that we have such a wonderful place with dedicated people to take care of our wild and injured animals here in Pennsylvania. This morning I went to move a possum from the side of the road but quickly realized that she had a full pouch of babies that were still alive. The dedicated attendants at red Creek did not hesitate and told me to bring them for their safety and recovery. They accept all injured wild life with the exception of bear cubs. Please support this organization and all the work that they do!

Do they take orphaned bears? There's a tiny one hanging around my daughter's house.

No. In Pennsylvania, ALL bear calls must go through the PA Game commission first.

I have a alligator snapping turtle. She will soon be a year in October. I am wonder what my options are for a rescue or will it be safe to let her go back into the wild. She is friendly and hand fed.

They could probably tell you the answer to all the questions you have by showing it to them. I'd say at the very least give them a call.

Hello . I found 3 baby birds .. NO fur .. Just born .. In my dryer vent . They are very cold. I live in Berwick, can you come get them ?

Jean George | Jul 8, 2018

You will probably need to need to run them. You should call them. They give advice. Maybe they will know of a closer rehab. They may tell you to put the nest in a basket & hang it near the vent. They may say to warm up the baby's gently with a heating pad , not direct heat. Keep them dark & quite. Time is of the essence. I would call now someone may pick up the phone. They must eat soon.

What are the chances of a baby squirrel with pneumonia surving under the care of an experienced care giver?

Becky Weiman | Jul 8, 2018

When feeding a baby squirrel you must be very careful that they don't aspirate the formula. It needs to be a milk designed for squirrels. All mammals have their own different formulas. Wild animals should be taken to a rehaber as quickly as possible. Animals must not imprent on humans. Rehabbers have pain relievers, antibiotics and the knowledge. Red creek is free & the public should call & get advice. Well-intentioned people often do more harm than good when it involves wild animals.

Found a bat in the house today 1/18/18. I managed to get it out of the house in the box I trapped it in. Will it fly away on its own once dusk comes? Dose anyone know if it can be picked up at no charge.

Mary Mcmenemy | Jul 8, 2018
Kathy Turner | Jul 9, 2018

This bat will die unless you take it to red creek. It needs to be kept warm & quite in a box. It will not survive because it is out of hibernation at the wrong time of year. Red creek will probably not be able to come for it. If you call them they are helpful as far as giving advice & providing the care that wild animals need.
