Homeowner shocked to find young fox in the most unlikely of places in their own back garden
It seems even animals are caravan fans, following the discovery of a clumsy fox found with its head stuck in a discarded campervan wheel in a back garden in Hounslow, London.
The seven-month-old cub was found by a homeowner, who has not been named, on Sunday morning with what could only be described as an the worst headache ever.
The female fox cub decided to approach the discarded campervan tyre and soon became properly stuck inside the middle metal part.
The homeowner was shocked to see the fox struggling for freedom when he looked out into his garden and, immediately set himself to free the cub.
When that proved unsuccessful, the homeowner contacted the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) who arrived in time to help the poor creature.
Officers from the RSPCA arrived and released the fox. RSPCA inspector, Lauren Evans, said: “This young fox was found head-first and stuck in the middle of this old wheel.
“There is no way she would have been able to get free without help,” Evans concluded.
The fox is thought to have been one of this year’s fox cubs.
In an effort to be more conscious of wild animals and the environment, we here at CaravanTimes encourage all caravan owners to be more mindful disposing of their property.
