Look out for Secret world on “The One Show” on BBC ONE at 7pm tonight. The One Show crew came to Secret World to film some of the animals that have come into our centre after the recent bad weather.

Some weeks ago we were lucky enough to get a visit from a member of the “Wildlife Whisperer” team who filmed Hope and some other badger cubs in Pauline’s kitchen. If you go the “Wildlife Whisperer” website or click on the link below you can see footage of the cubs. The cubs have now grown and moved  out of the kitchen onto the next stage of their rehabilitation. They are all eating solids and growing well, but in case you missed them on the web cam, here is another chance to see them when they were small.
