Baby fox with paws stuck in garden chair rescued in Surrey
The vixen needed the help of the RSPCA
The RSPCA came to the rescue of a fox cub in Surrey who had managed to get her paws stuck in some garden furniture.
Animal Rescue Officer Chloe Wilson went to a home in Greenhayes Close, Reigate, on Saturday (20 July):
“We had a call from a member of the public who was really worried about a distressed fox cub who’d somehow managed to get both of her front paws stuck between the wooden slats of a garden chair!
“When I arrived, the young female fox had cuts on her legs where she’d been pulling and tugging to try to free herself.
“Another fox cub was hiding nearby so I suspect they’d been playing on the furniture when she somehow managed to get herself trapped.
“I put on some thick gloves and approached the vixen slowly and, thankfully, was slowly able to lift her up and free her paws.”
She had some open wounds on her legs so Chloe took her to Wildlife Aid Foundation, in Leatherhead, for treatment and rehabilitation.
