Who to Contact: Mammals: Bats: Call Nor Cal Bats at 530-902-1918 and/or California Native Bat Conservancy at 530-642-2731. Bats are flying mammals that eat mosquitoes, termites and other insects. They can be very small and can appear very docile. However, if they are picked up they will try to protect themselves by biting. So, for your safety and the satey of the bat, DO NOT TOUCH BATS WITH YOUR BARE HANDS! Click here for more information on what to do if you find an injured or orphaned bat. Fawns: Call 530-885-0862, 530-621-4661, or contact Kindred Spirits Fawn Rescue at 916-847-1471. During the first two weeks of life, fawns are often left alone by their mothers. The mother returns every few hours to nurse. Fawns who are found curled up and quiet should be left alone and checked again in four to six hours. Only if they are standing, crying and appear very weak, or are injured should they be rescued. Please be VERY sure the parent is not coming back before touching a fawn! Opossums: Call 916-965-WILD (9453). Baby opossums stay in their mother's pouch for about ten weeks. When they emerge from the pouch, the tiny youngsters are often seen accompanying their mothers on nocturnal foraging expeditions. If an opossum is six to eight inches long (not including the tail), it is independent of the mother and should be left alone. Smaller opossums found wandering alone, or injured opossums should be taken to a rehabilitator. Find Us!
