There is a lot of work that goes into raising a baby 'wild' animal including night feedings, making them go to the bathroom, and getting them to walk around and get exercise (being babies they will just sleep and lay down otherwise). My intentions for Ben are to remain wild. He will not fear humans but he will be able to live among other deer and will be released to a large property in the fall that he will prosper at. I will post more pics and updates on the little guy as he grows to become a young adult.
