Well, fox cub number 6 came in today, a tiny little thing with eyes still shut. It was found under a shed, and from the sound of it, it should have been left exactly where it was. Unfortunately as the cub was passed to us third hand we have no finder details, otherwise we could have taken it back.
We already have three cubs of about the same age which came in when they were only about 2 days old. These are being bottle fed every three hours and are making great progress despite a bit of chestiness when they first came in.
We also have two older fox cubs, a badger cub (pictured) and our first fledgling blackbird was brought in today too. It won't be long now before our rooms are bursting at the seams with young mouths shouting for food!!
