There's no special technique for this one, it really is just a case of scrubbing with disinfectant and giving them a really good hose down. On the hotter days the cool spray from the hose is a welcome relief!
Sadly though, the harsh reality of Wildlife Rehabilitation is that it doesn't always work out and sometimes we have to make tough decisions. Our animals have to remain wild so our approcah to looking after the animals is always a 'hands off' one. Which is criticial, especially for our cheeky fox cubs who will be going back to the wild soon.
The Centre is getting busier by the day, as the summer goes on. The team at the centre has to put in more and more work to make sure that all the animals in care aretaken care of and prepared as best they can be for a return to the wild. This means increasing vet bills, food bills and staff workloads!
Please consider donating or volunteering some of your own time to helping out animals in need, I promise you, you won't regret it.
