S1E9 Debbie Sykes: White Tail Deer Fawn Raising To Release

This is part-4 of a conversation with Debbie Sykes about white tail deer fawn. We spend more time on nutrition and the types of plants the young fawns should be exposed to as they are growing to get them ready for release. The episode continues with housing, covering both indoor and outdoor housing, and what are the most important factors for each from the fawn's point of view. We also touch on Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), which is affecting deer in many places around the country. We also have a good discussion about soil! You will find all the episodes plus resources on white tail deer fawn and much more at the webpage for Wildlife Rehabilitation From Rescue to Release!
