Cupcake, Buddy and Bruce

Cupcake, Bruce and Buddy arrived Wednesday 16th May at around 13 kg each from Kirsty, who had cared for them till we had enough room to take them. They got mange in care, the 8th case we have heard about over this summer, with in-care animals. We think it’s meat-eating birds (bodies of mangy animals), and mice we think are the carriers as there is a mice plague in areas on the East Coast. They’ve been mange free for a while now, skin scrapings etc. hair regrowing. Poor Buddy is a tad upset, and he is putting on a show, screaming to scare away the scary new smells! He will settle. One week later and Bruce is often seen with Cupcake and Buddy, scurrying back to their dry cosy burrow.
