Just leave them alone - mom is probably somewhere...it is illegal to keep them as pets - call wildlife center for more info if they are still around tomorrow.

Do not call the police department nor animal control, they will sometimes do nothing, sometimes shoot them rather than mess with them, My suggestion is leave them alone mama is mot to far away but if u have not seen her than it is possible the mama got hit by a car. Do not try and keep them as it is against the law in some states to keep a spotted fawn, you would have to check with local conservation department.
Get ahold of the local conservation department in your area and they can tell u what to do, in fact they may come and capture the fawns and take them to a wild life rescue to turn free when the time for them to be free arrives.

try calling the animal shelter or if u have one the ASPCA u know the animal cops/rescue. untill they come put a large bowl or dog bowl out side with them filled with oats/corn/ mixed with bird seed even if u have some. and a dif. bowl of milk or water. that way it is sure that they will stay and not run on to the road. untill they ASPCA can come or animal shelter that can take it comes it will make sure there safe and not hurt.
hope i helped

Wait a little longer. I bet Mom comes by sunset. If the fawns are still there tomorrow AM then call your state dept of wildlife and ask them what to do.

DONT DO ANYTHING!! Mother deer leave thier babies often for the entire day while they are out foraging, if the mother doesnt return within 24 hours then call your local wildlife rescue and they will help you.Until then dont bother them, the mother told them to stay there and hide while she went out to feed or misdirect a predator from them. Deer are born scentless so the mother can hide them like this from predators while she goes about her business.

You did the right thing by calling the aspca.. It is THEIR rresponsibility but obviously they did not want to do their own job.. Then I would have called the police... 911 and reported it before the poor litle guys got ran over by traffic.

Call animal control. They can take the fawns to an animal sanctuary where they'll be taken care of until they're able to take care of them selves in the wild.

Call the S.P.C.A. and ask them not to pick the fawns up yet,just what to do.Mom may be lost,or maybe even injured so let them guide you in what to do.Put out a few bowls of water so they won't be thirsty.Maybe some apple peices to eat and maybe attract the mother back.Good luck.....

You can keep them as pets and feed them if you have a fenced in yard. The other thing you can do is call your local shelter or animal control and have them come out and remove them.
