Rescued in the Nick of Time, This Wee Pair

Via South Essex Wildlife Hospital, which writes:

Well... this wasn't the start to orphan season that we were expecting! 😱

We were prepared for birds, fox cubs... even maybe a badger cub but no... we start 2026 with two otter cubs! 🫠

Found alone after heavy rain caused a river in Suffolk to flood, these siblings (a male and a female) were quickly rushed into our care. Thin, dehydrated and hypothermic, the poor cubs had clearly been suffering and our vet team quickly set to work trying to get them on the mend 🤞

Now recovering on one of our intensive care wards, early signs are good and both have already started chewing their way through fresh fish. Young otters take a LOT of work and need a regular supply of (very expensive!) fresh fish, so this is where we need your help! ❤

We are going to do everything we can for these beautiful youngsters, but we can only do so with your support. Please, if you are able to to spare even the price of a cup of coffee we would be forever grateful! You can donate to our work at [this link] 🥰
