Little Foxes provides treatment and rehabilitation for sick, injured or orphaned wild animals and birds in need of care and attention.

It is entirely run by volunteers, with no paid staff. Every year we care for all manner of casualties including the tiniest of mice, fledglings, fox cubs, badgers, baby deer and more. With the help of a dedicated team of volunteers, we provide the specialist knowledge and facilities needed for the best chance of nursing our 'rescues' back to health. Our hope is always that they recover well enough to be released back into the wild. We became a registered charity in September 2004, charity number 1106015.

This fine looking crow enjoying the sun today has been with us for a while. He came in with an injured wing and, on examination, it was clear he had been shot, with clear evidence of entry and exit holes caused by an air gun pellet. Fortunately it had missed the bones but of course caused a bad flesh wound. Happily he is well on the mend, and he has gone from resting on the floor of his aviary to getting up to the very top!

Our young foxes are not the most cooperative subjects for photographs, but here are pictures of two of them not cooperating! We see refusal to look at the camera and buzzing off just as the camera clicks!
Never mind, they’re happy and lively!🦊

You may remember that back in March we took in two extremely young cubs, whose mother, horribly, had been decapitated.
She was found in an alley with the cubs a few yards away.
The little female, Norah, was unharmed, but her brother (Smokey) had cuts all over his lower back, which certainly looked like knife wounds. These cuts became infected, not surprisingly, but after some time we got them clear of infection and healing well.
The picture shows Smokey yesterday, a beautiful boy as you can see. All our cubs will soon be going to their release sites, but we’ll post a few pictures before then.

This is just one of the baby hedgehogs being looked after by fosterer Carol at the moment.
Can we please remind you to make sure clean water is always available in your garden for avian and ground-living wildlife during the summer, and never more so than in times of drought, as we are experiencing at the moment. It’s a true lifesaver!

We thought you’d like to see little hare Oestre tucking into some dandelions, parsley and lovage. Very tasty!

Our lovely little leveret Oestre is doing so well!
She has been hand reared by Penny who has now begun the weaning process. Oestre is eating dandelion leaves and flowers, and also dried wild flowers and herbs at the moment, and many more interesting fresh foods will be added gradually. She is a delight, a gentle little spirit of nature, a little child of Mother Earth. We are so lucky to have contact with such beautiful and entrancing creatures, hares, foxes, all manner of baby birds and also now...baby hedgehogs.
More on that story later, as they say on the news!

This lovely young great spotted woodpecker was found on the ground, concussed and with a closed eye, having almost certainly flown into a window.
Our new fosterer Tiff has taken excellent care of him, and she proudly released him, fully recovered, a few days ago!

This gorgeous little leveret came to Little Foxes last evening, passed to us by a veterinary practice. The little hare had been picked up by a dog, but thankfully is uninjured apart from a slightly bruised eye. We don’t know where she was found. Penny is hand rearing her and, after a slightly shaky start, is accepting feeds. Today she has taken much better feeds and seems settled. Leverets are tricky to rear but Penny has a good deal of experience with them and she’ll do her best!
