Reposted form the Burton Wildlife Face Book pageRelease - Fox Cubs Part One...
need to insert video clip
Tonight we released four of our fox cubs to a lovely location with woodlands and plenty of food sources. We will not disclose the location due to the safety of the cubs.
This is part one of the video we took as some of the cubs were reluctant to leave the carrier at first.
The first fox cub on this video is a dog fox called Mask. He came in from another rescue as they did not have the facilities to rear and rehabilitate him for release. He wasted no time in getting out of the carrier and he was very interested in his surroundings. We watched him as he disappeared into some bushes.
The second fox cub seen on this video is a vixen called Vixie. She is the cub we are most proud of as when we rescued her she was completely paralysed from the neck down. We told her story about six weeks ago but the short of it is, after lots of hard work, medication, hydrotherapy and physiotherapy, she regained full use of her legs. It was a long process but it was worth it as you see her in the video jump into the undergrowth.
Good Luck Mask and Vixie.
Release - Fox Cubs Part Two...
need to insert video clip
This is the follow on video from the first one we posted.
The first fox cub to be released on this video is a vixen called Grace.
She came in as a three week old baby and was very ill. We treated her
for toxoplasmosis as she was observed
having a seizure, which was successful. She was also hand reared by
ourselves. She was always the wildest of the bunch and very lively.
The second fox cub is also a vixen and her name is Inara. Again she was
brought to us as a very young cub from another rescue who did not have
experience hand rearing a cub or the facilities to rehabilitate them
back to the wild. She was hand reared with Zenko and Mask by the same
member of staff.
Good Luck Inara and Grace. Back to the wild where they belong. :-)
