Well... Hello There, Handsome! 🐾
had an unexpected visitor after her painting class today.
A weasel wandered into her paint studio, walked within about three feet of her to apparently see what all the fuss was about.
Thankfully, she gave him space, an open door and eventually he found his own way back outside after his class audit. 😂
So what should you do when wildlife unexpectedly wanders inside?
🐾 Stay calm. The animal is probably much more interested in finding a way out than hanging around with you.
🐾 Give them space. Don't chase, corner or try to grab them.
🐾 Put pets somewhere safe.
🐾 Close doors to other rooms if possible so the animal doesn't venture farther inside.
🐾 Give them one obvious way out. Open an exterior door, dim the lights, quiet the room and step away.
🐾 Don't offer food. We don't want an accidental visitor deciding they've discovered a new restaurant.
🐾 If the animal appears injured, sick or won't leave, contact a wildlife rehabilitator or local wildlife professional for guidance in your area.
And once everyone is safely outside, figure out how your visitor got in. Before closing up any entry points, make sure there aren't babies or other animals still using the space. We don't want to separate a family while trying to prevent another visitor from signing up for the next class.
Wild animals don't always need us to rescue them.
Sometimes the kindest thing we can do is give them space, give them an exit and let them be wild. ❤️
Remember, if you ever get an unexpected visitor, you have access to the Paws & Wings Rescue Finder in the Classroom to help you and the animal.
