🦊🧡 RICKY 🧡♥️
Getting footage of our not so little Ricky is SO tricky as he doesn’t really interact or engage with any humans other than Steve. He’s more than amenable if needed (no aggression or distress) he just isn’t really a human fan and would much rather hide away behind the box with a Teddy and usually another foxy 🦊 ❤️
I grabbed this quick snippet whilst 💩 picking and disposing of any ruined soft toys and replenishing them with new ones.
Ricky came to us last year with cataracts leaving him with zero vision. Between our followers and #foxangels we were able to raise the vet fees and have the operation completed and Ricky’s sight FULLY restored.
Sadly due to regular optical pressure tests being needed, he is not suitable for release - BUT - HE CAN SEE 🦊♥️🦊♥️🦊

❤️ POPPY AND HER STORY ❤️ 🦊
🦊 Our dear little Poppy was one of the last cubs to join us. It’s difficult to share, but she suffered a devastating dog attack.
We firmly believe every fox deserves a second chance.
Although we were optimistic, we are also always very realistic and we are fully aware of all the early signs and symptoms to monitor her and ensure her condition doesn’t deteriorate.
As you can see; all she needed was some consistent wound care and regular medications.
Combined with lots of nutritious food and plenty of rest, Poppy really has had quite the transformation.
Although her recovery has been phenomenal so far, Steve expressed concerns that her mobility seemed really restricted in comparison to the other cubs.
With the fantastic followers kind help, we managed to raise the funds for her xray within 24 hours.
Sadly his fears were correct and confirmed.
Poppy had extensive, irreversible muscle and tissue damage from the injuries sustained.
After careful consideration, it was decided it was in her best interests for her remain at the sanctuary.
Being agile and capable of jumping and lunging is absolutely vital for a fox in the wild. The ability to be able to hunt for food and fight for their territory cannot be limited as they will not stand a chance of survival.
Once our other group of cubs are transported to our soft release site, Poppy will be introduced to the other permanent patients gradually in the larger enclosure.
We will of course update you all as regularly as we can 🧡

READY FOR WINTER ❄️
🦊 ❄️ “SNAPPY” is officially ready for her winter walks around the garden 🪴 🦊 ❄️ She seems to genuinely LOVE strolling around the garden area.
“Snappy” came to us earlier this year. She was very weak and lethargic on admission and plonked herself straight into one of Steves cat beds that were outside drying in the sunshine ☀️
She had Toxoplasmosis, Mange and Pancreatitis 🤒 ❤️
She was rescued by another organisation who upon discovering her toxoplasmosis diagnosis, now had to find her a suitable forever placement.
“Snappy” really has made herself at home and has formed the most beautiful friendship with one of the resident cats Buddy. 🐾 🐾 🐾
Steve has tried on multiple occasions to introduce to other foxes so that she can ‘be with her own kind’ and from monitoring via CCTV she finds the entire concept very distressing. She has also been tried in the enclosure on her own, to which she presented the exact same withdrawn behaviour.
She even started biting her tail causing hair loss and a superficial wound. 🏡 The decision was then made to move her back inside to where she seemed content and comfortable. Over night she has a XL pen in the spare rear room so that she has some difference to her day time surroundings but to also ensure she stays safe and secure.
She has a very unique little life that we try to make her time as satisfying and stimulating as she will allow.
A large amount of rescue centres would have had her euthanised as many do not believe in life in captivity. At second chance; whilst we have the capacity to do so, we will always give our little reds another chance at life, albeit a bit different to the ‘norm’.

FREDDIE 🧡 📱 We were contacted last year about a lovely dog fox who had a suspected broken leg along with a nasty wound on the same leg. 👩🏻 Once viewing the video, Deb went straight over and set up a humane trap so that we could catch Freddie and get him checked over. 🏥 Taken straight to the vets once trapped, it was soon clear that the leg couldn’t be saved and an amputation would have to happen. 💴 Our fantastic #followers helped us raise the funds for Freddie’s treatment in less than 24 hours. 👨🏻⚕️ The operation was a total success and he was discharged back to us at second chance for his recovery to begin 🧡 🏡 The rehab life wasn’t for Freddie. He was becoming increasingly agitated and it was clear his stay needed to remain as short as possible so he could get back out in the wild where he clearly wanted to be!! 🧡 🍃 He was released back to his territory with many people watching over him. There’s a kennel in place incase he has any initial difficulties reestablishing his territory again. 🦊 He also has some wonderful community members who are supplementally feeding him for incase he has any difficulties with finding food initially 🧡 👁️ We have had copious sightings of the fantastic Freddie since and from what we have heard he is doing really well. Another little red saved ✔️ 🦊 #foxrescue #foxrelease #happydays #happierdays #happyending #backtothewild #secondchances #fyp #foryou #foxcontent #foxie #redfox #redfoxes #foxsurvivor #wild #wildanimals #backtonature #freedom #runfree #foxmiracle #impossiblewithoutyou #thankyoufollowers❤️

Our lovely “LUTHER”. 🦊 Please note: “LUTHER” is not a “regular fox” and we would not advise followers to ever encourage a wild fox into their home. 🏠. “LUTHER” has previously suffered from the parasite toxoplasmosis — whilst the infection itself if non contagious and dormant at present; the disease deposits little painless cysts on to the foxes brain which directly impacts the foxes behaviour and their ability to perceive immediate fear or threat. This means they are far more amenable and they genuinely almost act as though they are a domesticated dog. (Even though they definitely are NOT.) 🦠 A fox affected from toxoplasmosis is NOT safe to be released to the wild because of their ‘friendly’ behaviour. They would not have the natural instincts to survive like a ‘normal’ fox. 🦊 If we had not agreed to keep ‘LUTHER’ after rescuing him; he most likely would have sadly been put to sleep. We’re so glad we managed to save him and he seems so very content with his other foxy friends out in the enclosure. 🥰 ❤️ 🦊 #notyouraverage #notyouraveragefox #redfox #vixen #secondchancefoxrescue #friendlyfox #toxoplasmosis #foxes #foxoclock #foxtrot #vulpesvulpes #crazyaboutfoxes #lifeisalife #scfrr
