Another Fox Cub

We now have five fox cubs in our care. This female was found trapped in garden netting which has cut deep into her neck leaving an infected wound, she has also become separated from her mum. Thankfully Feline and Wildlife Rescue Nottingham went out to release her and take to the emergency vets. The following morning she was admitted into our care.

She is receiving treatment for her wound, once healed she can join three other cubs in an enclosure, soon to be joined by another healthy male.

Please avoid using garden netting, if you do use it, check regularly, each year we receive casualties caught in lethal plastic netting including hedgehogs, birds and foxes, many are not found in time to save them, what a tragic way to suffer and die.
