Five young foxes taken in by a rescue service have formed a 'family unit' with other animals kept at the nursery.

The cubs arrived at Oxfordshire Wildlife Rescue last Monday (April 24) from Wildlife Aid, one of the UK’s largest wildlife rescue, rehabilitation, and release centres.

The Oxfordshire service said: “It’s always nice to see when wildlife rescues work with each other, especially when we are all working together for the same reasons."

The rabble of young animals have since been transferred to the nursery's cub pens and have formed a 'family unit' with the other foxes kept by the rescue service.

“All of our current fox cubs are now outdoors in our cub pens enjoying themselves,” said the service.

“We have successfully introduced our cubs with Wildlife Aids rabble, and they have now formed their family unit.”
