handrear
Handrear refers to the practice of artificially feeding and caring for young animals that have been orphaned or separated from their natural parent(s). This process is often undertaken when the mother is unable to nurse or care for her offspring due to death, illness, rejection, or abandonment. Handrearing requires dedicated time and effort, as the young animal needs to be fed at regular intervals, often multiple times a day, with a specialized formula or appropriate food.
The specific needs of the animal, including diet, feeding method, temperature regulation, and hygiene, are critical
Handrearing is a common practice in wildlife rehabilitation centers, zoos, and by experienced pet owners who
