Meet Rafael, Raul and Rosa. These are our first fox cubs of 2013. These three two boys and a girl - came into care yesterday after being found wandering very cold and fairly lethargic on a lawn in Seaford. We are not sure what has happened to their mum, but it does appear they have been abandoned or orphaned rather than their mum moving them from one location to another. Rescuer Robert and I collected them from Beachwood Vets in Seaford where they were assessed and then taken to WRAS carer Monica Russell who is now looking after them at her home in Eastbourne.

We have already heard some people calling for a cull of foxes, as a knee jerk reaction to the alleged attack. It is important to keep things in perspective. Nobody has ever been killed by a fox, as opposed to the many injuries to and several deaths of adults, children and babies each year from pet dogs. We dont hear people calling for a cull of pets when these incidents happen. More...

This badger along with a second were originally spotted by the owners on Thursday, they placed a ladder and planks into the pool so the badger could attempt to climb out. Overnight one of the badgers managed to escape but one stayed behind, so WRAS was called to help the stranded badger. More...
