A WILDLIFE charity is at "full capacity" caring for 17 fox cubs - many of which have been abandoned as the fine weather inspired people into their gardens.

The team at RSPCA Oak and Furrows have "their hands full" with the rescued fox cubs as at this time of year many get abandoned when people start working on gardens disturbing dens.

Some of the foxes arrived from the same litter but many have come on their own.

RSPCA Oak and Furrows, based in Cricklade in Wiltshire, is now home to the "very active and very playful" fox cubs, who have been supplied with "all sorts" of entertainment from dog toys to chew and cat stands to play on.

Joe Norman, centre manager, explained how this is the season for fox cubs as the charity had nearly identical numbers of cubs to care for this time last year.
