Nanna always has hoglets through the door Winter, Spring Summer and Autumn.
In early spring we get ready to release them last year we helped so many orphans that we lost count yet alone sleep as we were up all hours feeding them. Look after yur little visitors and please don't use slug pellets! You could be killing more wildlife than slugs!
 Honeysuckle and Sweet William are two new squirrels living at NANNA's
They came to us just two days after Squidgey passed away, but they were too small to go out to her pen so they are living inside at the moment and during the winter months we will build them a new pen that will be dedicated to Squidgeys memory and come the spring they will be release into it.
 
Why do they have to be kept in captivity? It is illegal to release them as they are classed as vermin!!
 
 This little face is anything but vermin!!
 
Squidgey passed away 05/09/07
 
Squidgey was hand reared over 7 years ago and lived at NANNA's in Irthlingborough in her very own detached property which had a very large extension attached to it.
 
Every time Squidgey escaped we increased the size of her pen, but you only had to call her name and she came home and went back to her bed.
 
Oh what a blessed life we have had to have had her in it! My funny little nosey friend - RIP
 
One of the many little hoglets that came to NANNA because Mum had been run over
 
This little doe came into NANNA when she was about three weeks old. She now lives with Apricot and Gooseberry Crumble and we have named her Custard!!!
 
 

Please look out for your garden visitor the Hedgehog.

 

Every year NANNA takes in these little characters and take them through the winter and realise them early spring (weather permitting).

 

If you see a hedgehog out during the day, something may be wrong, take out some fresh water and a little cat food (not fish flavoured).

 

Make a home for it by placing a cardboard box over it, but make sure one of the sides is cut out so it can move away if it wishes.

 

Then phone us on 01933 650372 and we can arrange for it to come to us for care. 

 

 

Megan is one of our wild volunteers we are trying to tame!

 

Every year we seem to increase on the numbers of wildlife we take in, but sometimes they don't need to come into us!

Please before picking up a wild animal ask yourself:

  • Is it in destress?
  • Is it injured?
  • Is it's mother watching you?
  • Should I really pick it up?

Did you know that ducklings can live without their mother, but they can't survive without their siblings?

 

A duckling on it's own very rarely survives when it has been picked up and taken away from it's siblings and unles you can see mother is dead you would be best to leave well alone.

 

Sounds cruel? Maybe but mum is usually watching you and once you have picked up the duckling she's gone.

 

This little fella is Jack Crow, now living in an avairy because he is too humanised to be released!

Did you know that some fledglings leave their nest before they have learnt to fly and their mother tell them to wait where they are on the lawn, side of the road or in a park until they return with some food?

 

Unlike some human children, the birds do as they are told, but sadly when mum gets back the fledgling has gone! Where? To NANNA's or another rescue centre!

 

 

 

 Even wild rabbits are welcome at NANNA's.
