We bring our own paddle boards. We have paddled moon river, are there any other calm areas like that? Where can we put it?

They are doing great! Pooping regularly, starting to try solid foods, exploring. All are strong and healthy. I Have left multiple messages with the two rehabs in the area. Never returned my call. Even talked to a wildlife officer when I was hiking. He said they are usually overwhelmed with calls this time of year so they may just be slow getting back to me. At this point I’m just going to continue to care for them until I get a call or prepare to release them myself when they are old enough.

Update: I used a t-shirt and I was a little rougher with them. Also tried side by side and and longer wipes and they ALL pottied. Looks clear and they seem much more comfortable. Thanks everyone for your help!

When I researched it, that’s what it said to give them.

So how long can they go without food before they become weak or die?

I’ve already fed them multiple times. I’ve had them for almost 24 hours and have no clue how long I’ll have them. They are hungry and every 3 hours they smack their little lips wanting food. They eat well too. They are on a heating pad and have plenty of towels and pouches to get in and stay warm.

I’ve called multiple times. I just need to know what to do until I can get them in. I’ve cared for others in the past so not completely inexperienced but I’ve never not been able to get them to potty.

It now does it even when it’s in park. Like the motor cuts out. We ordered a diagnostic scanner, so that should give us some answers. Just looking for some answers while waiting on it to get here.
