RE: A Baby Fawn As A Pet
I found some more information regarding the perils of adopting orphaned wildlfe youngters. According to the Game Commission and not only is it illegal, but picking up a new born animals means you have also picked up a major commitment, toward it's health and well-being.

As in baby fawns, it takes special feed and formulas to raise a healthy deer, and few people know just what to do. One of the best reasons not to adopted a fawn lies in one motherly duty most would not be willing to do, which is, for the first three or four weeks of life, fawns must be stimulated in order to defecate.

As the fawn is nursing, the doe bends her head around and licks the fawn's rear area for a minute or more. Only after this can the fawn relieve itself.

Most fawns die in captivity because their need in help to defecate is not recognized or fulfilled.

Even if by chance you raise a healthy fawn into a full grown deer, does become nuisances and bucks as shown above can get ornery and dangerous, especially during the rut season.

Most fawns are not orphans. The mother is not far away, she is just waiting for you to leave the area.
