Chillin’ at DVWR

Many baby Desert Cottontails are brought to DVWR in the spring for various reasons. Their round tails are dark on top and white underneath resembling a cotton ball and their large ears radiate body heat, cooling them during the hot summer months.

Evelyn placed a splint on the leg of this young jackrabbit to facilitate the healing process.  Prognosis is excellent.

While at DVWR this baby owl will be fed a specialized diet to strengthen bones.

This baby hawk is receiving care at DVWR. Growing strong day by day.
