I believe the answer is:

leverets

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'young animals' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'making vets reel' is the wordplay.
'making' indicates anagramming the letters.
'vets'+'reel'='vetsreel'
'vetsreel' is an anagram of 'LEVERETS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for leverets that I've seen before include "big-eared youngsters" , "small creatures" , "Set elver among young hares" , "Let verse envisage young hares" , "Set elver to get young hares" .)
