This baby deer was found sleeping on the patio of my dads house in Ohio over Memorial Day weekend. She stayed there for 2 days. While we were all very concerned about her being abandoned we came to find out it was natural for the mom to leave the baby in a safe spot so predators would not get her. The mom would come and feed for a brief moment and then take off again. Apparently, this goes on for about 2 weeks after birth. It was very difficult for us not to touch her because she was so beautiful. If you see a baby deer by itself, please do not touch her or disturb her. Mother nature knows what she’s doing.
