Introducing Ginger Nut!
This tiny little man has had quite the adventure, but thankfully, tonight he’s somewhere warm and safe.
Ginger Nut had been spotted crying in a car park, with several attempts made to catch him and coax him to safety. Unfortunately, he’d found himself a rather cosy hiding spot inside a vehicle and wasn’t planning on making things easy!
People in the surrounding area were asked if they recognised him, even the neighbouring farm, but nobody knew where he’d come from. Somewhere along the way, this little man had clearly got himself a bit lost.
As soon as we were notified, we headed straight out and set up a trap.
We could hear him crying his little heart out, but we couldn’t see him anywhere. After some patient waiting, a tiny face finally appeared. He assessed the situation, decided he wasn’t convinced, and disappeared again.
Eventually, the smell of something tasty became too tempting, and out he came!
SUCCESS! Or so we thought…
Our hearts sank when we realised Ginger Nut was so tiny and light that he hadn’t triggered the trap!
Cue stealth mode.
With some very careful sneaking, we managed to get close enough to manually close the trap door.
Ginger Nut was finally safe!
He’s now tucked up in our care, and we’ve started by treating his rather unpleasant flea infestation. Tomorrow, once he’s had some time to settle, we’ll tackle the oil covering his little body.
But tonight? Tonight is about warmth, a full belly, a cosy bed and a proper night’s sleep.
A huge thank you to all the neighbours who had been keeping an eye out for this little man, trying to help him and worrying about his welfare. It’s thanks to people like you that little ones like Ginger Nut get the help they desperately need.
No more crying in car parks, no more hiding inside vehicles and no more wondering where his next meal is coming from.
Welcome to Hector’s House Ginger Nut!! You’ve certainly made an entrance!
