Due to illness It is with regret that after 13.5 years that Foxy lodge wildlife rescue will not take in any more new wildlife casualties and become a Closed Sanctuary for the many Wildlife residents which can not be released, to enable them to live there lives out with us.

We would like to thank everyone that has given us support over the years, and also like to say that the 65 wildlife residents which can not be released will still be fed and very well cared for. It has been a very hectic roller-Coaster ride for us and it has taken it's toll on us both.

If anyone still wishes to help us then we would be very grateful for Bird seed, Tins of Cat/Dog food and cat biscuits and Money, because the Closed Sanctuary will still cost around £5,000 each year to feed everything.

During our 13.5 years we took in 11,027 Wildlife Casualties of which 65 have to remain in our care.

Best wishes

John & Tonia

As grey seal pups start to be born on Horsey and Winterton, we have this tip that will help more of them to survive. It is important because up to 60% of the seals born this season will not survive into adulthood. The most important thing is not to walk on the beach at all, during the breeding season. The reason is simple. A mother seal sees us and our dogs as preditors. If we scare cow seals away from their young by our presence, there is a very real risk that she will abandon her pup leaving it to starve. And people on the beach at this time of year can spook many of the new mums by walking among them. So please help us to help them by enjoying this wonderful sight from the designated viewing areas at the top of the sand dunes. Photo by Sue Wright taken with a long lens.

Everyone, meet Kevin the kestrel 🥰
He fell 18 ft out of a nest and arrived as a tiny fluff ball. As you can see he has a ferocious appetite and is gaining weight beautifully 😊

23/06/2021

Look at his little face 🥰🦔
Our young hogs get a lot of choice of food, hedge hog pellets, a mix of chicken cat food and crushed bugs, and a special milk blend we use.
Our aim is to get plenty of weight on them before release so they have a constant supply of nutritious food.

🌧🌧Who else is sick of this weather 🌧🌧

Either way, come rain or shine we are working hard. Baby birds need feeding round the clock, lots of enclosures to clean out and many more little animals to take in and plenty of releases.

As always donations are needed to keep us looking after the hundreds of animals we take in each year.

The general principle is when you see a Hedgehog out during the day then it is in trouble; however now we are in Hoglet season there will be mums out and about during the day preparing for their Hoglets by building their nest as well as finding food for her young. You will easily be able to identify if the Hedgehog is a healthy mum by observing.
The main things to look out for are:
- if the Hedgehog is walking around with purpose
- nesting materials in her mouth
- mum will appear to be bright and healthy
If this is the case do not disturb mum and put plenty of food & water out for her 🦔

Its been a tough year for us so far. Being unable to do any fundraising events has really hit us hard. But thanks to you all, our wonderful family of supporters, we are continuing to do everything we can for as many as possible.

You are all amazing, thank you for the donations and support through all this xx

UPDATE: little boy died about an hour ago. At leat he was warm and comfortable.

This little boy arrived this morning. As you can see, he is too weak to curl up and is extremely dehydrated. He is also cold. This is the result of being left out overnight to ‘wait and see’ after being seen curled up outside during the day. I have given him warmed subcut fluids and made him comfortable in an incubator with a little fleece over him. Even so, this little chap won’t make it. It’s too late for him. It’s Hedgehog Awareness Week this week so please, for me and for this little boy, SPREAD THE WORD. IF A HEDGEHOG IS OUT DURING THE DAY IT IS LOOKING FOR HELP. DON’T WAIT, not for a night or a day or an hour. GET IT TO A RESCUE ASAP. A female building a nest or feeding young will be moving energetically, with purpose! She WILL NOT be laid down or sunbathing or having a rest. This little boy’s organs are failing because he was left. PLEASE, help me spread the word. Thank you 🦔.

With strong winds reported here in the UK tonight, please be on the lookout for young owls that have been blown out of their nest!

We have seen a massive spike in rescue calls to tawny owl chicks over the past few days, with our climbing team working round the clock to try and return as many as they possibly can. If you do come across a young owl (or any other bird) that looks in need of help, please contact a wildlife rescue centre for advice ASAP. It may yet be able to return home!

As you know it's the start of baby season for most birds (apart from Pigeons, Wood Pigeons and Collared Doves who breed all year around 😃). Here's a quick guide to help judge whether a little one needs help or not. Unlike our 4 legged wildlife friends, birds don't reject their young because they've been handled by humans, their sense of smell is not very good, so you can pop a bird back in a nest or into a hedge out of harms way if needs be.

Obviously if it's a fledgling with feathers who is injured or somewhere out of it's normal environment and it's at risk from predators, it's more than fine to pick it up and bring it to us, your local wildlife rescue or vet.

Thank for all you do for our wildlife 🐦🐣

Baby season is just around the corner and at this time of year we are often brought leverets by well-meaning members of the public who believe they have found a young rabbit in need of rescuing.

Unlike rabbit kits, leverets are born fully furred with their eyes open and are left above ground, often in tall grass or bushes, for long periods of time. The mother hare will return only once or twice a day to feed them, to avoid attracting predators.

Although this is normal behaviour, leverets are sometimes seen alone in open fields and are brought to us in the belief that they have been orphaned.

Baby hares are prone to stress and can be difficult to hand-rear, so it is vital uninjured young remain in the wild where they will do best with mum. Before picking up what you believe to be an abandoned leveret or rabbit kit, please call us or your local wildlife rescue centre for advice!
