West Country wildlife centres report high fox cub and hedgehog admissions in same season
Reports from wildlife rescue centres in Beckford and Somerset show large numbers of foxes and hedgehogs being cared for over a similar period.
Recent reports from two wildlife centres in the West Country describe admissions of foxes and hedgehogs during the same period [1][2]. The Cotswold Journal reported that Vale Wildlife Hospital and Rehabilitation Centre in Beckford has helped rescue 201 fox cubs so far this year, with many returned to the wild [1]. BBC News Somerset separately reported that an RSPCA rescue centre in Somerset saw a record number of hedgehogs this summer [2]. The two accounts show rescue centres in the region handling large numbers of two different species in the same season [1][2].
