They still need hand feeding.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The otters are currently still in Warwickshire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Otters have been present at Compton Verney since 2020, but this is the first confirmed breeding on site.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Asked what the discovery on Thursday told people about the grounds, Ms Tansey said: &#8220;I think it tells us that we&#8217;re secluded enough for the otters to be happy enough to breed there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I think it also tells us that the water&#8230;is pretty clean. It&#8217;s clean enough for the otters to build a home there and to start a family.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"She added &#8220;three little baby otters that had been underneath the tree&#8221; were discovered.
