Hey all,
Pulled this little guy (below) away from one of the barn cats just now. He's a fledgeling but since he was being molested I didn't want to leave him. I called my usual rehabber and she's going to take him tomorrow morning but is there anything I should do in the meantime? Right now he is in a tupperware with a towel on top of it next to my lizard cage (it is approximately 80 degrees in the box where he is). I have waxworms and have fed him 5-7 but didn't want to overload him. He appears mostly uninjured but lethargic after being jogged the two miles from the barn to the house.
Is he old enough that he doesn't need a heat lamp? I've only ever had little ones and tend to leave fledgelings be but he was in a bad way.
Thanks in advance!
