Fox cubs ABANDONED in garden!

With Lawrie and Simon tied up on another rescue, it was down to camerawomen Abbey and Siân to collect four abandoned fox cubs from a garden in Ewell.
With two of the cubs swiftly secured, the next two proved a little trickier to locate.
Watch to see how they get on…

Their desperate mommy calls hurt my heart... thank you so much for rescuing those sad baby furballs

[@judil3294]

Yes, breaks my heart to think something had to have happened to mom.

[@Cechil55]

My heart shatters whenever these baby animals lose their parents. Just imagine if Wildlife did not rescue these little hopelessly young babies. I can't imagine. Tears......

[@shotakonkin2047]

I've always loved baby animals since my very early childhood, I'm happy to see animal rescue does these things. I honestly wouldn't mind learning how to protect a baby fox if I where to ever find an orphan.

[@shiloallard186]

Same here those poor wittle ones 😢

[@enigel1969]

Great new team of rescuers! And thank you the good man who called for the cubs.

[@wildlifeaid]

Thank you. The man was very kind and worried for the poor cubs' safety

[@Cechil55]

@@wildlifeaidWould it be possible for you to upload the update on these little guys?

[@Desantisgogoboots]

I mean, most would call a rescue (not saying ugly people don't exist, but c'mon). This guy is clearly a hoarder and needs to clean all of that up. It's dangerous for him and wildlife. If not, here in the states, code enforcement is contacted.

[@juliakovacs4885]

I'm so glad the homeowner noticed that the cubs were in trouble and got them help in time! Fingers crossed for the little floofs and I hope they all make it to adulthood and release :)

[@wildlifeaid]

The gentleman was very kind and concerned for the little cubs. They'll now stay with us until they are old enough to be released in to the wild

yes, may the gentleman have good luck

[@teariana1]

so thankful they let themselves be heard, as distressing as it would be to hear those babies calling for mum, knowing an organization's like WAF is such a relief. I love the care they've taken to raise these orphans in a way that they can go back out in the wild.

I hope the mum comes back for them. But at least they were gathered up safe, albeit not easily.

[@Soldier4USA2005]

@@wildlifeaid Mom was possibly killed in a car accident or by a dog, unless abandonment of cubs is sort of a thing with foxes. I have no idea, just spitballing here for potential answers. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication to taking care of such vulnerable and beautiful creatures.

[@aenorist2431]

@@Soldier4USA2005 Got to be some sort of trauma, either a scare or injury/death of the mother. Abandoning cubs too young to survive on their own would be a waste, which nature tends to eliminate.

[@Soldier4USA2005]

@@aenorist2431 Depends. Seals will have a self-induced abortion if there isn't enough food and they know the pup would only make things harder for the mother.

[@vojaro5669]

That’s dedication. You are all so great with anything that’s thrown your way. Those fox Cubs are just adorable. It’s sad though to think what may have happened to their mom and dad, because you know they would have never left them on their own. Thank you for your rescue work.

[@wildlifeaid]

Thank you for your kind words. It is always sad to know these youngsters are all alone

🦊🦊🦊 I am still trying to decide, what was the best and sweetest about this: baby-foxe, who are just adorable, the two ladys rescuing them, for they did an amazing job, or the kind and observing man, who called in the first place. 💙 💜 💙 💜 💙 💜 So good to know, these four will have a chance to grow up and get a chance.

Thank you to the kind gentleman, and the 2 ladies skillful rescue. You have a fantastic team. The upside to losing their mum is that all 4 have a good chance of surviving now, so mum has left a legacy and lives on with this generation. Thank you for all their care ahead.
