Abstract
Veterinary surgeons, animal welfare organizations and animal shelters are being increasingly asked to advise on, treat or look after injured, diseased or orphaned wild mammals and birds. The assistance which can be given to those creatures is often limited by the lack of knowledge the potential helpers have of the basic care and management of the animals. In an attempt to provide some of this essential background knowledge, Marian Small has prepared a 40 page A4 booklet on the natural history, care and feeding of a number of common British land mammals. Details are given on the general biology of the species, on means of capture, on food and food preferences, on suitable accommodation and, to a varying degree, on injuries, first aid and common diseases. There are a number of whole page, black and white illustrations by Lynne Mustard. This volume, which has been sponsored by Intervet UK, should be most useful to those who have to deal with wildlife casualties.
