How's this for cuteness??

Today's helping of the aaah factor is brought to you by this gorgeous, six week old otter cub. He was brought in a few days ago by the RSPCA after being found out alone near Worcester. He is perfectly healthy & is feeding really well - being bottle fed every 4 hours during the day & the tiny needles that he has for teeth have started to get through small pieces of trout (as well as my fingers ocassionally!)

Our dilemma is, what do we do with him now? The longer he stays with us, without others of his own kind to interact with, the more risk there is that he will become imprinted on people & will then be unreleasable. Our aim when dealing with any animal, for whatever reason, is to ultimately return it to its natural habitat. Therefore, our next task is to contact other wildlife centres to find out if anyone has otter cubs of a similar age that this little one can be with, so that he begins to realise that he is an otter.
