Review of Greenwood Wildlife Rehabilitat...

They failed to return our call.

They failed to return our call.
We called Greenwood Wildlife moments after accidentally disrupting a baby rabbit nest. No after hours contact or callback. We felt pretty hopeless. The Rehabilitation sites state NOT give them food or water. And do NOT handle. I understand this for some situation but not when it comes to baby bunnies. We resorted to loosely piecing together advice over the internet. Would ve been nice to have local support to guide us through a really stressful time in trying to save a litter of bunnies. Several days later we stumbled onto Colorado House of Rabbits website. They have two ~2 licensed wildlife rehabilitators for infant rabbits. The rehabilitor in Larkspur is highly regarded. These experts should be at the very top of google search for Rabbit rehabilitation instead of Greenwood Wildlife. Hindsight, we should ve just watched YouTube videos on how to feed baby bunnies while waiting for the right rehabilitator to take them in. Time is of the essence as infants can t survive long without milk. We should have checked their bellies in the morning for plumpness, that would have told us if mom had returned. We call wildlife experts for guidance & help. It wasn t until we spoke to the rehabilitor in Larkspur that we got that. It could ve been a simple rescue with a $6 can of KMR and an eye dropper. Rabbits are not rodents, they bring joy to a lot of children & adults. They re native to this area, and deserve the same level of compassion as any other infant wildlife in distress. The M.O. should be to help rescue these babies ASAP, not nonchalantly assume mom will return while they slowly starve.
