Sadly because the nest was disturbed yesterday this lovely little family has been disrupted and now Mum has rejected her babies. This leaves me to try and hand rear the five hoglets.

Please leave nests of babies alone for at least an hour keeping Watch from a distance and contact your local rescue to advise them that you accidentally disturbed the nest. They will then advise you of the next steps.

Fingers crossed that this little family are strong enough to survive and grow up. They are now in an incubator and are being fed every couple of hours.

To have given them the best chance of survival as soon as they were found the finder should have walked away from the nest. Please, if anyone does find a nest of babies remove yourself from the immediate vicinity. There are far too many lives lost by human involvement . Death is unfortunately part of the natural cycle, but when humans involve themselves that death rate increases dramatically. If they had been left, the chances are mum would have settled down with her babies and reared them to maturity.

Fox cub 4 - Jelly arrived today.

He spent the night at Charter vets on a drip but he doesn’t seem to have any injuries which stopped him from leaving with his siblings. He will be kept separate to Daniel, Kam and Tom until he’s actively showing he’s better.

It’s officially hoglet season 2025

This little one arrived with its 4 siblings from a garden in Braunton, they have come in with their Mother which is great news for the 4 siblings still with Mum. I removed this little hoglet as it hasn’t managed to get a feed whereas the others have, it’s also considerably smaller than the other babies. The good news is that it has taken a feed so far and is now in the incubator getting nice and warm.

As we move into hedgehog baby season just a short video to help you help them. I hope you find it useful 💚

Our third fox cub arrived today after being found on the side of the road not hiding and no parents or other cubs around.

He is a hungry boy and took formula rather than eating. He is currently in an area where he can be seen by the other cubs. They will merge as a group once the cub has been proved not to have any illnesses that may cause harm to the original 2 cubs.

We have been handed in a female fawn zebra finch from the Sticklepath area of Barnstaple.

It does have a ring round its leg. Please contact us if you know anyone who has lost a bird.

We are at the time of year where there are more and more fledglings about. Every year our advice remains the same… if you find a fledgling (a fully feathered young bird) LEAVE IT ALONE.

If the bird is naked or has sparse feathering and you cannot see a nest that definitely belongs to that bird please contact us.

If the bird is injured then please take to a vets.

We create more wildlife casualties because we interfere than if we just left it alone. When a bird becomes a fledgling it will refuse to open its mouth for anyone other than its parents, meaning that if it comes in to the rescue it is usually condemned to a slow starvation as despite force feeding they just refuse the food and can spit it out.

Nature does know what it’s doing and any bird who does not learn how to hide will become prey regardless of what interventions we put in place or how often we involve ourselves in its ‘rescue’.

Please leave healthy fledgling birds alone, the rescue does not have the capacity to take them all in and spend the time force feeding them to have them all die needlessly.

If you can share this post as much as possible so that we can try to prevent unnecessary suffering to these young creatures.

Formally introducing you to all the kittens…

First is Dolly and her three small babies, she is still being a lovely Mum to them and despite her traumatic intervention and surgery. Dolly gave birth to a girl a boy and finally a girl.

Ophelia gave birth in the early hours of this morning (another sleepless night for us) after a trip to Moorland Vets for an emergency appointment due to concerns about her lack of progression in labour.

Ophelia had a girl (black and white), girl (tabby and white, clone of Mum) and finally a black and white boy. Her babies are significantly bigger than Dolly’s babies, but then there were 2 less in the womb. They are very healthy babies and Ophelia is being a really good Mum and the kittens have very strong cries.

Now we just wait for Hera to go into labour, but she is probably not due until the end of the month.

We released a large male hedgehog to his home location this week, and sent off 4 others for release to a countryside location with a healthy hedgehog population. In order to release hedgehogs to your location you need to have an already resident hedgehog population which means that the local area is able to sustain hedgehogs. If you don’t have evidence of active hedgehogs try purchasing a wildlife camera for the garden to see if you get any coming in overnight whilst you’re asleep. Usually if you don’t have hedgehogs frequenting your garden there is something within the environment which means that the area is missing something that allows the hedgehogs to thrive.

I am also now positive that Harry CAN see! Which means that his rehabilitation is looking much more positive now and we can progress with release in mind.
