Badger Rescue

Add to Cart Download

© Licensed to London News Pictures. 24/4/2014. Nuneaton, Warwickshire, UK. Pictured, Badger cubs Scampy, Fidget and Dopey were found by a rambler when just four weeks old, they were hiding in a hedgerow, suffering from hypothermia and lack of food, their parents both nearby, shot dead. Taken to Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary in Nuneaton, they were brought back to life with love and care by Geoff Grewcock who runs the Sanctuary along with 25 volunteers. The baby cub badgers now 12 weeks old, have doubled in size, Geoff smiles, "for some reason they have also taken a liking to my custard cream biscuits, they seem to love them and are currently getting through a packet a week" Now checked by a local vet, inoculated and tagged, Geoff has found a home for them at Secret World in Somerset, where they will join other badgers in purpose built sets and hopefully lead a full life. Geoff can be contacted on 02476 345243. Photo credit : Dave Warren/LNP
