i really want to become a wildlife rehabiliator what i really need to know is do you have to become a vet 1st. so yea please answer my question thax later bye
 
I really doubt it. I think people without any formal education can help rehabilitate animals.Operating them is another story, probably requiring a vet.
 
No, you do not have to be a vet, but many do have a vet that they work with on a regular basis. Most wildlife rehabilitators don't have a degree, most learn their skills by volunteering/interning with already established trained rehabilitators. Some do have some formal education but there really is no such thing as a degree in wildlife rehab. Look here for info on how to become one:
