Animal Rescue
Here at our animal rescue part of Wild Guile, we want to help wildlife that needs help, relocate them to a safe location suitable for them, or get them to a vet. By doing this, we help save them and make sure they are here for the future, as all life is precious and they are here for a reason. Also, by doing this, we can educate everyone about wildlife! Here are some photos from our call outs we have done so far.
This little Grass Snake was our first ever call out we received, he got into someone's tack room whilst he was in the middle of shedding. As he was moving around trying to get his shed off, he got himself stuck in some plastic netting that was on the ground. After about 30 minutes of safely cutting the net, we managed to cut him free. We then gave him a health check to make sure he wasn't suffering from any serious injuries. Apart from damaged scales, which would heal after a couple of sheds, he was good to go! We found a new, safe place to relocate him and released him.
This Grass Snake was discovered in someone's garden, and at first they mistook it for an Adder. After giving us a call, we were happy to come out, identify the snake properly, and safely relocate him to a more suitable habitat where he can thrive without causing any worry.
This young Kestrel became trapped after getting his leg caught in the bonnet of a van. We attended the scene to assess his condition and ensure he had not sustained any injuries or fractures. Fortunately, he was unharmed and in good health, allowing us to safely release him back into the wild where he could continue on his way.
This young Crow had been approaching people for food and even jumping onto them, prompting concerns for his well-being. We located him and safely placed him in a carrier before transporting him to the Vet for assessment. It was determined that he was simply extremely hungry. After ensuring he received the nourishment he needed, we were able to release him back into the wild in good health.
We received a call regarding a clutch of Grass Snake eggs that had been accidentally dug up during gardening. The owner asked whether we could take them in, and we were happy to help. We carefully collected the eggs and provided appropriate care and monitoring until they hatched. Once the hatchlings were strong and ready, we released them back into a suitable wild habitat. In total, 39 healthy young Grass Snakes were successfully returned to the wild
