Cydney, I have lived with all kinds of animals in my over 60 years and have raised hundreds of orphan wild babies. I can say with some certainty that many species of wild animals will reject a baby that smells too heavily of human interaction. Bison is one that will reject a baby that smells heavily of human scent. There are even one or two species of domesticated animals that will reject a baby that has been away from its mother too long. One commentor is right that many mother animals in the wild will leave their young alone for short periods of time. These people had good hearts, unfortunately they do not understand that wild animals are just that and to interfere with them will most likely result in their death. Let Mother Nature do her thing, no matter how heartless it may seem.
