Bluebell the Badger Cub

Welcome back. As promised, I have some pictures of Bluebell the badger cub. We work with Beth of the Hartland Wildlife Rescue and she was called out four weeks ago to rescue a badger cub in distress. Beth took the badger to the vets to have her checked over and she has been living with Beth ever since, having the run of half her house. Bluebell loves playing with her Yorkshire Terrier and her Husky - they get on really well. Bluebell eats scrambled egg, kitten meat, raisins , mealworms and cake!!!

On Tuesday Beth is taking Bluebell to a safe badger sactuary, where she will live with other badgers. Badgers need to be in a family group and the sanctuary can offer that.

Whilst Beth will be really sad to see Bluebell go, she knows it is in her bests interests. Beth rescues so many wild animals and nurses them back to health, and if she ever needs an extra bed for a hedgehog, dove, pigeon etc. then Hill Top always tries to help out. We are very lucky to have such a kind, caring person as Beth in our area. Long may her good work continue.

We hope you are all enjoying the wonderful summer weather today - it's great!

Thank you for reading. We hope you can join us again tomorrow.
