The charity, run entirely by volunteers, rescues otters from across country with the aim of rehabilitating them until they could fend for themselves in the wild, bosses said.<\/p>\n
They said that all 10 cubs were “nursed back to health and raised to independence” and were big and strong enough to be released back into the wild. <\/p>\n
They added that cubs remained with their mothers for just over a year, so, when helpless cubs were found alone, with no sign of their mothers, they would step in to help. <\/p>\n
Trust founder Dave Webb said: “Sadly, it’s not uncommon for it to already be too late by the time we’re alerted – being without their mother at such a young age can be catastrophic.<\/p>\n
“That’s why moments like this mean so much – to be able to rescue a cub, nurse it back to health, and watch it grow into a strong, independent animal ready for release – that’s exactly why we’re here.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The charity, run entirely by volunteers, rescues otters from across country with the aim of rehabilitating them until…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":513861,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[90,56,54,55,4407],"class_list":{"0":"post-513860","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wildlife","8":"tag-science","9":"tag-uk","10":"tag-united-kingdom","11":"tag-unitedkingdom","12":"tag-wildlife"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=513860"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513860\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/513861"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=513860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=513860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=513860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
