Hand-rearing, artificial-rearing, human-rearing or hand-raising is the process of caring for and feeding juvenile animals by humans during a stage when they would normally be fed by their parents.[1]
For the hand-rearing of
mammals, a bottle with milk from a female of their species, milk from another closely related species, or an appropriate milk formula can be used.[1][2]
In the case of
chick's beak opening and food ingestion may be necessary.[3]
Hand-rearing can lead to
reintroduction into the wild. Potential difficulties include integration into groups of conspecifics, learning natural behaviors such as hunting, choosing a mate, as well as raising their own offspring.[1][4]
