One of our young fox cubs enjoying the sunshine.

In 2017 we successfully cared for over 25 fox cubs who were orphaned, abandoned or whose home was destroyed. They required specialist care and stayed with us until they were all fully grown and then released around September time.

''Hello, where is my dinner?!''

We often have sick, injured or underweight hedgehogs in our care, especially over the winter when they should be hibernating. In 2017/2018 we overwintered around 140 hedgehogs and this year we are not far from reaching that again!

The best food to leave out for hedgehogs in your garden is cat or dog food (dry/wet). Remember do not feed them bread, milk or fishy food as this will upset their stomachs.

The summer is a very busy time for us.. baby season! Many of our littlest babies need a very gentle, patient hand to take over from mum.

Feeding, cleaning and keeping them warm is not as easy as it looks but always worth the effort.

''Whoooo's that coming in my cage?''

Owls and birds of prey do not welcome close contact so we always try to be as hands off as possible whilst giving they're recovering.
