1/2 At this time of year we get pheasants brought in after collision with a car. This gorgeous male makes number 4 so far, all with the same symptoms of being “off legs” usually due to spinal swelling &/or trauma. A course of anti-inflammatories can get them back on their feet…

In the wild #hedgehogs mainly munch insects & worms, so making a log-pile or leaving a leafy corner can really help hungry hogs out!

To supplement it, you can offer meaty dog or cat food or cat biscuits & always offer #waterforwildlife!

1/3 Our badger cubs have been released back to the wild! 🦡❤️

Every year brings challenges & this one was no exception. At one point we wondered if we’d get any cubs at all! How wrong we were! Before long, we had badgers everywhere! Some orphaned, some injured & some simply…

Did you know...?
In Irish folklore, hedgehogs were thought to be evidence of evil spells? Believed to be witches in disguise, they were even victims of witchhunts in the 1500s!

Thankfully, we think anyone lucky enough to spot a #hedgehog today would see it as a treat!

1/2 Happy Halloween! On the spookiest day of the year we admitted this gorgeous female pipistrelle 🦇.

Found in a bathroom, she had a swollen nostril & an old wing tear. She was very dehydrated and eagerly lapped up some sweet rehydration fluid.

If you’re going out trick or treating, stay safe &…
