Guest carywinton Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 You certainly have taken on a full time job for a while, raising wild animals is quite difficult, I know I have raised many when I worked with the Vienna Wildlife Federation. I wish you the best with your new cute friend.
MikeMetal Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Oh indeed, they are all cute and dandy until they grow up and you start thinking if to call at the zoo or adoption center. But don't listen to my bastard heart, keep it if that makes you and others smile. It certainly needs all the help it can get without a mother.
ToJKa Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 D'aww! Is there any animal baby that isn't cute?
nonusnomeni Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 YES!!! you won't regret wonderful animal but NO if you live in city she need a lot of care and a lot of space
brokencircle Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 It certainly is cute as a button,but you might want to call your local fish & wildlife officer to check the legality of keeping wild animals.Here in the U.S. they are considered property of the individual states.
Guest airdance Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Here in the U.S. they are considered property of the individual states. Then Thank God I do not live in the States.
Vancien Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Bambi's are adorable. But I advise you to get it released back into the wild before too long. Unless you want a 200lb pet in your home with hooves. Deer are relatively easy to tame, but they really should be in the wild. If you wait too long, her/his chances of survival in its natural environment will be slim. I'd also add you may want to check with local vet clinics and see if they would even treat such an animal. Many won't. So if he/she gets ill, it may be on your hands to treat. And as mentioned, definitely check with local laws to see if it is even allowed.
Kamen Rider Kuuga Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 It looks delicious and tender. Cook that fucker up and enjoy.
gvman3670 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 MMM.....deer veal. Delicious! No, you probably shouldn't keep it. Not that it isn't cute because it's adorable. But because most people can't keep one alive and healthy. One at that age needs to suckle it's mother's tits to get the antibodies it needs to stay healthy and disease-free. It's mama wan't too awful far away. Baby deer just lay still because being still/camouflaged and their lack of scent are their only defense mechanisms. Mama would've run off upon hearing/smelling someone coming and the baby would've left to do what it does best....HIDE. Now if the mother was killed then it's a different story, but a fawn that age can't actually follow anybody. Where do you live? Because they shouldn't even be born for a few more months? At least not around here.
Guest xthejester Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 They also get incredibly aggressive when they reach sexual maturity. Male and female alike. Its cute now, but they grow up pretty quickly. And they can become dangerous.
gvman3670 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 We had one that we took in after it's mother was killed. But I lived on a dairy farm and we had the means and space to care for it. It was a buck and stuck around for a few years until he finally left and never came back. Probably ended up on someone's wall since he grew a pretty impressive set of antlers.
ТigегШооd Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Snort its powdered bones, they contain calcium.
Guest xthejester Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 If you find that you can (it's legal to have) you are going to have a full time job just attending to the Fawn. it will need Goat's milk not cow's milk. and it can go through 2 containers a day (1/2 gallon container) also in 4 cups of goat's milk you need 7 drops of lactate. And they do grow fast if cared for properly. Most places that do allow them for people to care for have stipulations that they will NOT become a food source. You have to be zoned for the keeping and caring of wild animals. And you surely don't want to go outside the law to keep it, the fines are extremely heavy. and of course animal rights activists will be beating down your door if they find out. There is a lot to consider when taking on such a cause. And I suspect that your line about "It followed me home" is like mine always was, I actually carried it home because it was crying Depending on how far away from it's hiding site you live, you may just get a visitor come looking for her baby and they can be extremely vicious. they can kick like a horse and pretty much box like a Kangaroo, only there gloves are hooves. Something else to think about. LOL.. Nobody wants to get the shit beaten out of them by a damn deer.

I deleted my comment because I found it to be useless after finding this. hide a few things on the photo and re-post it? Why? I'm finding it rather hard to believe anything I read in these threads any more.

Guest airdance Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 The most interesting part of all this is that I never once claimed I had a fawn living with me!!! I thought it was strange that no one even thought to ask that question before giving me all kinds of advice. I thought it was a cute picture...oh and by the way, it was already altered when I got the picture. I did not try to fool anyone!!! It was a cute picture for God's sake and I thought I would share it with the group. So, what lessons have I learned here: Clearly state that all pictures I post are real or not Clearly let everyone know that I am posting said pictures because I think it is cute. make sure to monitor my posts, so that this does not happen again I am truly sorry for any inconvenience, stress, confusion, apprehension, consternation, anxiety, or down right feelings of hostility this post may have caused. I realize that had I monitored this post I could have stopped this sooner, and if anything, that is my crime.
Kamen Rider Kuuga Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 It followed me home..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UWq26V01po
gvman3670 Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Yeah, whitetail fawns aren't even being born yet. The youngest ones running around North America right now are basically adults. Of course, they could be 30# down south and over 100# up north.
Guest Mogie56 Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 I am sorry if I misinterpreted the meaning of this thread, we've had so many attention ^&%$#@ lately that it is rather difficult to tell when someone is or isn't posting for attentions sake. I apologize. I see now the title has been changed so it is less likely to be taken as a question of "Can I keep him". The first thing I noticed about the photo was it was posted by a supposed female but the caring hands in the photo were all male. Plus my nephew is an avid skateboarder and I remembered having seen the magazine in question a couple years ago. The mag is based in San Francisco as is Skate Mental for which the photo was used. Again I apologize for my mistake.
Vancien Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 It followed me home..... Oh... This made me laugh and laugh and laugh! Thank you... bwahahahahaha!
