We are so happy to share that the two young badgers have officially been released! 🦡🦡
They came to us after their mother was found deceased, leaving them orphaned. Sadly, one of their siblings passed away unexpectedly while in care. We’re still waiting on the necropsy results, so we don’t yet know the cause.
After months of care, these two were ready to return to the wild. And when release day came, they were exactly what we hoped to see: feisty, defensive, and very, very wild (all things wild badgers should be)!
They were released onto private native prairie land, far from people, where they can continue growing and doing what badgers do.
This success was truly a team effort. Thank you to our staff and volunteers, Animal Clinic of Regina for their urgent medical care, Wildlife Rescue Society of Saskatchewan for getting them to us so quickly, and the Ministry of Environment for working with us to find an appropriate release habitat.
A special thank you to our staff member Kaylyn for making the two-hour trip to release them, and to Lindsay for generously sharing her beautiful land.
And to everyone who donated toward their care and our new clinic, thank you! Your support helped give these badgers a chance to grow, heal and return to the wild.
After everything they’ve been through, seeing them head off into the prairie was pretty special.
