These guys (Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Fooey) lost their mother in our woods this Spring; probably she was either run over or live-trapped and hauled away. I found them curled up in a ball out in the open, but left them there for two days, then for two more days took them in at night and bottle fed them and took them back to the nest during the day, but no mom, so took them to a raccoon rehabilitator (who I found out has only nine fingers, having lost one of them to one of her clients). Interfering with nature is NOT always wise, but hearing these little guys cry for their mother hour after hour, until they got too weak, would melt the hardest heart. As a reward, the next night a raccoon rolled all our garbage cans into a ravine full of poison ivy and scattered garbage all across it.
