What do you do with a wild shrew?
If you come across a wild shrew, it's best to leave it alone. Shrews play an important role in the ecosystem by controlling insect populations. If you need to move them from an area, use gloves to carefully and gently guide them to a safer location. Avoid handling them directly as they have a strong bite.
