Answer 1

Not sure where you are from but in Australia you have to contact your local government department who deals with the environment and conservation.

From there they offer courses for those people wanting to become wildlife carers.

It is illegal to care for wildlife in australia without registered with a government department. (not sure about where you are).

Your best bet is to start volunteering at your local wildlife shelter. By gaining experience it puts you in a better position to do homecare.

Be advised though, an officer will come out to your home to assess you situation, before allowing you to become a wildlife rehabilitator.

Again, Im talking about rules in Australia, but best to contact your local department in your area.

Goodluck
