A small animal charity is asking for extra donations after seeing “a massive spike in baby animals” in the last week.

Cuan Wildlife Rescue in Much Wenlock said it was in need of items, such as dog and cat food, kitchen roll, bird seed and latex gloves, and had created a wish list.

It said the baby animals include hoglets, bat pups, gull chicks and fox cubs.

The charity asked people to either bring the items to its rescue centre on Stretton Road, post them or drop them off at collection bins at Sainsbury’s stores in Shrewsbury or Telford.

Other items needed include dried mealworm or calciworms, non-bio washing liquid and gift cards for it to buy live insects.
