It's April and badger cubs begin to venture out of their setts. They still rely on their mum's milk until June. If you find an RTC Badger and it's safe to check, see if it's a nursing sow. If you see a badger involved in a road accident, or for emergencies, call 07850 604585.

Dry weather can kill wildlife, so offer water in your garden or near local setts. Use shallow bowls to prevent drowning and make rehydration fluid. Dissolve 6 teaspoons sugar and half a teaspoon of salt in a litre of boiled water. Allow to cool. Your efforts can help save lives!
