First take it out from under the heating pad. Make a "nest" for it on top of the heating pad, put it in a carboard box and when you go to feed it tap on the cardboard box, after a while it will automatically open its mouth for you when you touch the box. When feeding a baby bird I usually use dry cat food that has been wet to the point of mush. You will need to feed the little critter about 6 times a day during daylight hours, they don't eat at night in the wild because their parents are roosting. I usually feed either out of a syringe or with a small baby spoon. When they get full they quit eating and usually go to sleep.

For the greyhounds at least, it isn´t as simple as "first past the post". No matter how hard they try, how fast they run, ultimately they will be the losers. So who are the winners in this sport? The Winners! ? the greyhound industry as a whole, which generates enormous annual profits. ? The owners of the best registered dogs, who profit from prizes ? The registered dog owners who can sell the best dogs on to the independent sector, once they have no further use for them. The Losers! ? the puppies killed because they won´t make the grade as a racer. ? The thousands and thousands of greyhounds racing in the independent sector whose welfare is not regulated. ? The dogs kept in appalling, dirty, cramped conditions. ? The injured greyhounds, many of whom go untreated. ? The dogs abandoned or killed when they can´t run fast enough to win a race. How can you make a difference to the dogs, and help the greyhounds become the winners? Sign our petition on http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/stop-the-greyhound-slaughter . We are aiming for 20,000 signatures to present our protest to Governments around the globe in March 2008. And if you can afford to make a donation, please sign up on http://apps.facebook.com/causes/view_cause/18204 Better still, make one special dog a winner! Adopt a greyhound and you will gain a loyal and rewarding pet. Your dog will then be the ultimate winner with the best prize of all - a long and happy life!

Hi everyone I am excited to announce the publication of a new and unique book dedicated to the animal rescue/humane education cause that everyone should be aware of! It is a realistic and "human" view of what it really means to "live the rescue life," straight from those who do so everyday. It includes more than fifty individuals who share their rescue life, experiences, thoughts, views, wisdom and much more in the hope that this look inside their world will begin to lead to change for all. As well, it includes a reference section and much more insightful writing. This book is perfect for fundraising, humane education, online and standard stores, libraries, or even as a gift for someone who may think themselves an animal lover, but not understand thier contribution to the problems. Please take the time to visit http://www.animalloversbook.com for more information and pass it on! Thank you:)
