Many are not so lucky... well-meaning members of the public find the babies and attempt to  raise them on unsuitable diets. The animals come to us weak, dehydrated and suffering from gastric upsets as a  result of the incorrect diet. Despite excellent veterinary care  and hours of intensive nursing, they die soon afterwards.
