Football net fox cub hides behind a fridge

At this time of year, we get more and more calls to one of our most common types of rescue - a fox cub stuck in a football net.
Luckily, Simon is well-practiced at this and, when we were called to rescue this youngster, he quickly had him removed from the net. The rope has been tightly wrapped around the leg, so to be sure that there was no constriction injury, the cub was taken into a small room so that we could check he could walk.
With a clean bill of health he was finally released back into the wild to go back to his mum!

Now...tell the nice people to PUT THE NET UP when they're not using it. What a darling, little cub. I'm surprised his leg wasn't injured. Amazing.

[@hipocampelofantocame]

I'm discovering that watching Wildlife Aid is rather addicting, but in a good way. Kudos!

[@farrukhathar5540]

SubhanAllah Simon...you are a sweet angel of a human being...may you be safe and in best of health always!!

[@lynngreene1993]

Too cute! Those blue eyes 💋 and as for the fox cub lol. Thanks S & L xx good to see no damage done, the bubbas leg probably went to 😪 and Simon needed to wash his hands lol

[@marycassatt6542]

Those precious little whimpers, poor baby! ;o; You guys are heroes

[@user-db6jj9ln7c]

Poor little fox, Thank you Simon , Good Luck and Good Health for You All.

[@anonemouse48]

Like isn't a strong enough word, love, adore, admire your wonderful videos 🥰🇨🇦😁

[@wildlifeaid]

Thanks so much, very kind of you!

[@razony]

Live in Portland, O and I never donated till I saw your vids. Don't know what did it, but I just had to donate. Darn sly little Foxes!

[@wildlifeaid]

Thanks so much! That's so kind of you. Glad you like our videos and greetings from the UK!

[@basit786]

Best bit where he hides himself behind washing machines 😂😂😂 Thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@ken85225]

Simon, You're a natural!!

[@mitzinicoleritter211]

No matter what's going on... Simon: "Right!"

[@Mister_H.]

Aaah the sweet smell of fox wee....lovely 😉 I hope the foxes who visit my garden every night don't ever need your help but if they do I know they'd be in very safe and caring hands. Thank you for what you do 👍🏻

[@Raczoon]

Used to do this sort of thing. It's a mostly thankless job, but the real rewards have no substitute. Thank you for doing what you do.

[@danielwickham3439]

awww poor fox thank you simon for helping him he would of starved if no one intervened i find it amazing that some people clearly see tangled or injured animals and just walk by like its nothing thats so cruel thank you for helping him and hopefully he will be ok

[@Shumway03]

I love you guys! You are the best KZbin channel! I want to be a vet when I grow up and my clinic will be for small animals, large animals, and wildlife! Thank you for all you do, I love you Simon and Lucy and all of Wildlife Aid!!!

[@briannanguyen8695]

You guys are my hero

[@traceymars]

Thanks Simon and cameraman for saving another precious cub! I hope that people with these football nets would pull them up so our wildlife doesn’t get trapped.

[@Robby334]

Wonderful yet again

[@rayhill1654]

What you do as an organisation is FANTASTIC and I feel for Simon when he loses a rescue to injury.

[@jeylful]

Thank you :)

[@coleisntsmart]

We need more people like you in this world. Your kind of people do amazing things

[@tammymcguire4991]

Amazing you are🌹🌹🌹

[@yashodhandere5431]

Hello Simon, as a suggestion, would it be possible for you guys to make a Wildlife Aid calendar for 2018. I'm sure many people like me would be interested in buying one 😊

[@Mister_H.]

Yashodhan Deré that's a great idea, I second that 👍🏻

[@yashodhandere5431]

phtunes Thank you Sir. Greetings from India :)

[@wildlifeaid]

We made one last year with photos from our cameraman and photographer, Lawrie, and it sold well! We'll be sure to do another next year :)

[@yashodhandere5431]

Wildlife Aid yay! Do keep us updated. Thanks ❤💖

[@Mister_H.]

Yashodhan Deré you're welcome sir, good luck for the match against Pakistan on Sunday. Although I'm sure you won't need it 👍🏻

[@presidentdonutduthler7157]

I feel so good for the animals he saves

[@lykan2]

What a cute and brave Little fella :3

[@ChristophersMum]

Thank-you Simon, it's really good to see a successful release.

[@candycatthirtyfour2199]

yay for another rescue! three cheers to mr. foxy! 🐻🐻🐻❤❤❤

[@dongji5982]

I ❤ 🦊

[@matthewramirez4670]

Appreciate you for helping this Fox those nets are always catching animals

[@wyvernslayer4530]

Those noises were so cute and sad...

[@listerbird6824]

I'm so happy after watching this video 😄 Thank you Simon, you're so bold !

[@lass-inangeles7564]

Well done Simon! Another one saved!!

[@DreadPirateRoberts29]

That was definitely one of the more docile fox cubs you’ve dealt with. Normally, they try to bite and scratch you, but this little one seemed to be fairly comfortable with you. He/she must be used to humans from living in a populated area.

[@sagz58]

Yay, another rescue and realise. Y'all are awesome!

[@margaretdevries8090]

Never saw a wild fox in the 21 years I lived in Scotland ! Wasn’t so built up then ! Poor foxes their habitats are disappearing as more and more land is given to build on !!

[@littlekitties87]

The football net strikes again!

[@kneeenaw4]

Boom boom

[@daveanderson3890]

when I grow up I want to be a wildlife vet and you inspired me. THANK YOU

[@shannonfriet6291]

cute little guy!!!!! glad to see he got back to the wild!!!!! love it!!!! wildlife aid you rock!!!!!!

[@francoisona]

Well done and what excellent thinking to check his gait before freeing him. You guys are amazing!

[@aliscat]

Like your videos? I LOVE them all. Subscribed.

[@Sourdoughgirl]

Those little guys, you save them but they never write, never call... LOL

[@lordbeerus3383]

I love foxes and i love what you guys do even MORE!

[@TimPiggott]

For a moment there I thought you were going to need a rescue release Simon! 😱😂 That would have been embarrassing!

[@madmoiselle007]

I love you ❤️

[@thebirdrescueandrehabilita8233]

Awesome job guys! Keep up the good work!

[@DanielRenardAnimation]

Quite amazed the cub was able to use its leg so well, since that looked rather tight this time again. At least it _looked_ as one of the more cooperative fox cubs in a while, aside from hiding, it didn't seem to squirm or nibble. Also, it would seem the message about football nets still isn't getting across, sadly. In any case, Great job! 🦊

[@DanielRenardAnimation]

***** Aye, I did take notice of that, but I was still surprised at how effective it was. My mother's dog as a big lumbering oaf with a golden heart, 10 years old pup at that! Haha. I usually grab that big soft neck-fold of his and massage it for a few seconds, which usually triggers a big smiling yawn.

[@Raison_d-etre]

@everfaraway1 The dads don't hang around.

[@Raison_d-etre]

@Jayne Eyre The cameraman held it down, so I wouldn't read too much into it. Simon wasn't its dad, so that wasn't it either.

[@sumizuki]

omg i used to love your channel i used to watch it in the 2015 or was it 2016 but i loved it until i got a new channel then i could not find your channel i kept on looking but i gave up so i forgot about you omg i found im gonna watch every video know!

[@tillyfisher6702]

Hello love what you do x

[@wildlifeaid]

Thanks very much :)

[@joshuataylor6129]

Wildlife Aid l love your videos

[@aleciastar1433]

Did you forgot the Simon lecture on netting?

[@cynicallusion]

aww so adorable. you guys are awesome

[@pcbacklash_3261]

Through the first half of the video, I kept asking myself, how the heck did that little rascal get behind a fridge, from being caught in a football net outdoors? Then, when Simon moved him into the little room, the mystery was solved. :-) Love the vids!

[@morzanturian4946]

I envy you for this service. I would like to have such a job.

[@mooneyes2k478]

Mummy, mummy, mummy, I met Simon!

[@elushka29]

Chubby little baby 😀

[@joshron99]

I've only recently discovered the Wildlife Aid channel and enjoy its videos. Among other things that I've learned here is that England apparently has a plentitude of foxes. We have foxes in the US, of course, but it seems that they are as common in England as squirrels are here in the US.

[@brianmurphy8811]

Yay :) Great work, Simon & Co!

[@LittleLulubee]

So CUTE 😊💕

[@Kitsu_no_mirai]

You get my respect !!☺

[@grytlappar]

Can't people take responsibility for the football nets so this doesn't happen? Wildlife Aid rescues animals in this situation _all_ the time!

[@ingeborg-anne]

Oh sweet little squeak.

[@AxelWerner]

Hands covered in Fox wee is another way to let you know and say "THANKS MATE!"

[@lapisangstylazuli]

Those whining omg he's soooo cute

[@2511pixel]

nice! Your job is more than just a job!

[@HelenaMikas]

I hope that tatty lethal net was done away with .From the look of it hardly used .And if it had it needs rolling when not .Happy for the fox :)

[@EcoSpeeder]

Several thoughts -- It seems like (by watching vids) no service to a distressed creature can be availed of help without calling proper channels of authority. But that time the trapped creature is dehydrated and bone-thin and out of it's teets. In America we go to work at speed to save often times deploying fire & rescue . Homo Sapiens in 'Merica , not some much the kind treatment of Wildlife Aid.

[@cait812]

What are you on about?

[@merveilleuxetmagique]

Hello, please clarify something for me please: I thought constriction wounds may take several hours/days to be really visible? So, if I'm not experienced, should I NOT release him ASAP, even though he seems to be running around OK? Thank you

[@orack6355]

Cutiness over 99999

[@Shumway03]

Ugh why do so many people dislike your videos??? They're amazing!

[@carlosmp2043]

#PeregrineFalconLover - Grace theres literally just 1 dislike.

[@IIGrayfoxII]

Thats 1 too many.

[@edgarspavlovics3540]

disliked this video just to piss you off

[@marycassatt6542]

Maybe they're unhappy that a fox cub was caught in a football net?

[@Sheena1234ization]

it has 2 dislikes.....

[@sapwildlifenaturephotograp6254]

Nice video friend 😊.. I have subscribed to your lovely channel.

[@blakeshelnutt5502]

Dang wow

[@caitlinrobo]

What is the deal with foxes and kitchen furnature ha 😂

[@hughtuck5147]

I wonder if any football net owners have the timerity to ask Simon to pay for the damage he does as a consequence of freeing the cubs caught up in their childrens' (presumably!) toy.

[@shannonfriet6291]

fox cub says: attack the go pro!!!!!lol!!!! I shall name our released fox cub friend Houdini!!!!!

[@theartofnigas3245]

The two dislikes are the rodents that the fox tried to catch. Thanks for the rescue and footage!

[@colinleclerc7045]

Thanks for the enlightening comment.

[@startheangel9760]

Maybe Theresa May clicked on the video.

[@madmoiselle007]

[@stephen285]

ahheee's got hisself into a right pickle

[@rbspider]

Does every English home come with a football net?

[@lightboltk]

Aww

[@joannesmith3991]

tie that football net up so he dosent get caught up in it

[@trailblaze71]

Hey does anyone remember Markiplier donating $1000 to hope for paws? Lol wouldn't it be cool if he did the same thing here?

[@vibekehansen661]

biiiiiiiiiiiig thank :-))))))))))

[@OssieWhite]

Pawesome, but the name of the video is actually misleading because the pup kit hid behind a washer ! Great job though Save Wildlife

[@lydialaver518]

Fox:I shall live my life thanks very much Simon now goodbye please! Simon:Keeps chipping away Fox:what the hell is my life with these dudes and dudess’s eh? Simon:cmon fella Fox:Has it been a CENTURy YET!???! What is it with our ‘relationship’??

[@Sheena1234ization]

Does anyone know how old Simon is?

[@wildlifeaid]

Very very old!! Just become an OAP!!

[@Sheena1234ization]

Wow! You're much fitter than that age, well age is just a number :P

[@007NowOnline]

Glad the fox cub is ok. But perhaps y'all should ban foxes from playing soccer/football in the UK. :P

[@ReesesButterCup.]

my moms boyfriend just brought home a baby rabbit (guessing 3 weeks old)and I have read that stress can kill the kit. My brother and my mom have been stressing out because my brother keeps on telling them that they should return the kit to its nest, but my mom disagrees and think its a joke saying that he is our little brother and we should take care of him. My brother is worried because he tried to give the kit some watter but he jumped out and fell off the table from panicking. Is it true that when kits have there ears down and eyes closed its garanteed that they will pass away. I legit dont know what to do😥. Please help WILD LIFE!! PLEASE HELP SIMON!😓 NOTE: My moms boyfriend says that if you comfort him enough he will be better. He used to have a rabbit when he was younger so I gues he is expirienced.

[@rridderbusch518]

Idiot boyfriend probably stole it from the nest. I hope he's gone now (the boyfriend.) Mom has no knowledge of animals, either. They're not TOYS for ones' amusement. You're a good person, Hunter! Getting hold of rescue groups is almost always through facebook, unfortunately.

If you have a fox cub invite Sam Thorne & Brooke Lawson while they are in GB. She likes foxes so she might make a video and you get attention=money.
