Episode 10
April and co spend over a year hand-rearing orphaned otter cubs Chubb, Pike and Tiddler. Meanwhile, Theresa releases a hedgehog and her newborn hoglets into the wild.
Of all the mammals admitted to the National Wildlife Rescue centre, otters are the most difficult to rehabilitate and return to the wild. This is because an otter cub will stay with its mother in the wild for as long as 18 months. If cubs are brought in as tiny orphans, the rewilding process will take just as long. Cubs also need pals, and that鈥檚 a problem for newly admitted orphans Chubb and Pike, who just can鈥檛 seem to get on.
It鈥檚 a different story in the small mammal unit, where Theresa is preparing to return a bumper crop of hedgehogs back to the wild.
