    Hey Nancy here. I'm a rehabber AND in my realife I work with the Conservation Police, Dept of Natural Resources and I'm an IDoA investigator.
    There is NOTHING ON THE INTERNET for rehabbers. Please call Brian Clark in Springfield Dept of Natural Resources - main number CLARK, BRIAN Law Enforcement ONE NATURAL RESOURCES WAY

    There are no tests, no classes no nothing in Illinois. You need a letter from your vet that you will be following all protocol. Its good to have a rehabber to mentor you but not needed at all.

    In Illinois all wildlife belongs to the people of Illinois and NO ONE is allowed to keep a squirrel longer than 120 days so be careful who you talk to. Rehabbers are only allowed to keep for 120 days unless you are an educational institution. Very strict.

    Email me if you have questions.

    PS you've not contacted me - I just had someone email me that there was a post. I don't monitor the TSB - I'm just am a huge fan of TSB and visit when I can
    And YES in Illinois you just fill out the form from Brian and just get a license. TRUST ME. 4 of my helpers last year all got licenses this year to help me out.

    my email must have been lost in the netherweb but either way thank you so very much for this response. i will be calling Brian on Monday, i already have a vet who said he would have no problems seeing me and my squirrel especially when we are legal so i'm sure i can get a letter from a vet.

    Hey incase you guys are curious this is what the permit looks like and you have to submit every year and they renew every year. They don't inspect.
