Help save lives.Simple

This long, hot dry spell is bad news for badger cubs and other wildlife. You can help save lives easily by acting on this advice from
Save Me today

We are asking all Badger groups and sett watchers to put out water near to sett entrances. Cubs (and all wildlife) will quickly dehydrate in these temperatures and will not feed if they become dehydrated. It is better to put out rehydration fluid rather than plain water.

A suggested formula for rehydration should be:

1 litre of warm water - for dilution

1 teaspoon of salt

1 tablespoon of sugar

Set out cold
