** As a non-profit, home run rescue we rely on donations to help with essential daily costs. Please consider visiting our donations page if you are interested in giving us a one off or regular donation so that with your support WE can continue to CARE!
We have been quiet with call outs this week but that doesn’t mean we have been busy. Weeks like this give us a great opportunity to focus on the current animals in our care giving them the critical care/treatment needed and get them closer to being ready for release as well as getting some well earnt time to ourselves at home where possible!
- Our 4 fox cubs are doing incredibly well! They are all steadily putting on weight and growing up so fast. They are loving their bigger pen with an outdoor run being very playful with each other which is a great sign of their development.
- We’ve had our first gosling of 2024 in and in the same day had our second! The little one pictured had an open wound and leg fracture from what we believe to be a pike attack-after a good clean and leg split we put them in together and they have settled in well.
- Our final point of this week is not so much of an animal update but an awareness post: nesting season is in full swing now and although you may think you are being helpful please do not feed swans or any other birds directly on or around their nest. This will attract rodents and predators to the site who will sadly steal eggs or even kill the babies. The parents have been preparing for months ahead of this so the best thing you can do is be ready to adore those little babies and support the parents with feeding once they are born.
