Warm weather, longer days and more plentiful food are some of the reasons that wild animals tend to give birth in the spring. Sometimes these baby animals stray from their mothers and wander alone into backyards, onto porches or into more wooded, secluded settings where well-meaning wildlife lovers think they need to be rescued. That is a mistake. When people interfere with wildlife in their natural habitats, they often do more harm than good. They also put themselves at risk—of exposure to fatal diseases such as rabies, even from a cute, small animal who appears healthy.
