Re: Advice with grey orphan very attached to me!
Hi,
Everyone rehabs and releases differently but the prevailing thought here is that we release when the babies are 6 weeks older than your baby is now. We will put them in the release cage at 14 weeks old. Sometimes when a baby is more immature, as singletons often are, we might wait a bit longer, or keep them over the winter and release in the spring. I think 10 weeks old is too young to release.
