Rodents

While we continue to accept and work with many species of rodents, please review the Hantavirus information.

Put the rodent in a closed escape-proof container with a soft ravel-free cloth. Put the container half on and half off a heating pad set on low. Monitor it so the animal is warm to the touch, but not hot. Even adult rodents may require heat if they are in shock, and cold to the touch.

Put the container in a quiet place away from children and pets.
