Wildlife centre needs help to feed 17 rescued fox cubs
A wildlife rescue centre near Swindon is appealing for help to feed a group of fox cubs.
RSPCA Oak and Furrows Wildlife Rescue Centre is based in the Blakehill Nature Reserve in Cricklade.
Its team is currently trying to care for 17 newly-rescued animals.
A spokesperson said: "That's a lot of mouths to feed and very delicate tummies to support.
'The kicker is that our cubs will only eat Pedigree Puppy Food, which we are running very low on.
'If you can help us feed these cutie patooties, please consider buying a pack of Pedigree Puppy Food from our Amazon Wishlist.
'By purchasing from our Amazon Wishlist, you are not only helping us get important items that we need, but also helping us as a charity save money which we can put towards the bigger costs such as our vet bills, utilities and wildlife ambulances!
'Thank you from us and the cubs.'
One of the cubs was admitted after her mother was found dead a few metres away, but she is now doing well following this difficult start to her life.
The spokesperson added: 'If you come across a fox cub and you have confirmed that the mother is deceased or has not returned to her cubs for 24 hours, please contact your closest wildlife rescue centre as soon as possible."
