Oxford Badger Rescue Update - Oct 2023

We've put together a short video about the 2023 rescues so far. 2023 started off very busy for our rescue teams, with a number of badgers being involved in road traffic collisions.

 

We have had a number of badgers that despite their injuries have made a full recovery and released back into the wild.

 

We would all like to thank those members of the rescue teams that attend call outs together with the great work of the vets and rehab teams at Tiggywinkles, Nutkin Ward and Oxfordshire Wildlife Rescue.
