Polly

Polly had a severe case of mange (a nasty parasitic mite) and was feeling very sorry for herself when we trapped her. A spell in the fox hospital, with mange medication and antibiotics and dedicated care, meant that she was released back home after about 6 weeks.

Newt

Newt was a Spring 2025 cub. She came to us in July during the very hot weather. Newt was struggling to keep herself upright which gave the impression of a physical injury.

It turned out that she was probably just exhausted and dehydrated so she was back out again in no time.
