Rescued Fox Cub Survives Storm Drain Ordeal After Sibling Dies

We were called out after two tiny fox cubs were found in a storm drain. The caller was concerned as they both looked in a bad way visibly I mean, it's a good sign it's moving at least. My fears were confirmed as soon as I got my hands on it. What a shame. Oh, look at it. Poor little love. Okay, I realized that one cub had already died. Not very old either, is he? And been that way for some time. Bit better actually. The other cub had survived by using his deceased sibling to stay afloat and to avoid it. Same fate.

[screaming] Oh no. Little one. Right, let's get out of here. It's all cold, wet, and smelly. Pop it in the bag. Let's have a look at you. Hey, you're a good old way. Oh, you're growling. That's a thankless job, isn't it? I think we need to get you back anyway. He was still lively and warm. But he was covered in horrible, smelly, sticky mud. So, we rushed him back to the center. Let's pop you in there. We'll get this one back. Get it checked over. Get it cleaned up. Right. That's That's positive. God knows Alex.

Ra met us on arrival. Text them. And with Judith, both vets assessed the little boy. Oh god. It's quite temperature. Or we can soak him in there. They wrapped him up in a towel to keep him warm and prepared him a bath to clean the mud off. 1.22 He was very well behaved and he seemed to quite like his warm bath quite a lot. Then roll got him out and dried him off. Later he was ready to be introduced to the other cubs at the center. After having lost his sibling, it was lovely seeing him safe and warm with the other cubs at Wildlife Aid.
