Additionally, there are few, if any, permanent placement options for older, habituated/tame deer and The Wildlife Clinic is not able to provide placement for them. Each year we receive at least 2 or more fawns that don’t make it, or require extreme measures to save them, just from being fed improperly for days before they came to us. Even a few days can mean the difference between our rehabbers being able to save a fawn or not. Not only is it illegal, but commercially available formulas are NOT suitable for deer and will often cause debilitating diarrhea leading to dehydration and death. Please do not attempt to raise a fawn on your own. If you come across a lone fawn, even one that is vocalizing and walking around (like any toddler, they sometimes throw a tantrum when they don’t have their mom) please do NOT assume the fawn is orphaned or in need of intervention unless it is visibly injured. The fawns are excellently camouflaged and carry no scent which helps to protect them from predators. Mother deer will leave their young in a particular spot for several hours at a time. If you have encountered a white-tail ed deer fawn and believe it needs assistance, please contact us before intervening. Rhode Island does not permit the rehabilitation of adult white-tailed deer, however the Wildlife Clinic is able to provide care to fawns.
