Instructions
Check local laws to see if there are any regulations against keeping certain wild animals. Different states have different laws about housing various animals. You might have to apply for a special permit to keep the wild animal.
Review your tenancy agreement to make sure there is nothing that prevents you from housing animals on your property. This applies specifically to anyone who is leasing or renting a property.
Research the wild animal you will be housing. It is very important to understand what their natural habitat is and attempt to recreate that in a caged, outdoor environment. Different types of animals require different amounts of space.
Construct or purchase a cage that is large enough to comfortably house the wild animal in question. The cage should be placed in an area where the animal will have shelter from the elements, or a shelter should be provided within the confines of the caged enclosure. The enclosure should be constructed out of non-toxic materials, and should be secure enough to keep the animal enclosed.
Provide the animal with necessities such as food, water and any other requirements specific to the animal to make them comfortable. These amenities should be placed in the cage with the animal.
Secure the cage with proper locking mechanisms to prevent the animal from escaping and becoming a potential threat. Proper locks also will prevent unwanted humans from opening the cage and endangering the animal or themselves.
