Caretakers kept the sick Porcupine overnight before transporting it to Willdife Rescue and Rehabilitation. It appears to have a mange type disease. It could not be left inside the house, because of the bad odor. The caretakers, layed the can on its side and used a 'Have-a -Heart' trap, with the trap door tied open, manuevered into the open end of the trash can. A fan was set up to blow fresh air onto the open air cage. A bowl of water and peanuts were added for snacks overnight. It was a hot August night.
That morning, caretakers drove with the Porcupine in the can in the back of a pick up truck to Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation in Kendalia, Texas, about an hour away. It was left in their care and we were notified of its progress.

This sick and injured Porcupine was first noticed July 23. It took time to make a good plan to capture it so it could be taken to the Willdife Rehabilitation place. To capture the sick Porcupine, 2 caretakers used a large heavy duty fishing net to drop over the top of it. Then it was scooped inside a large lightweight trash can. All of this happend around midnight so we made a place on the porch for it to stay overnight.
