Badger cub found 'frozen solid' recovering in Norfolk

A tiny badger cub found "frozen solid" in woodland is "headed in the right direction" after being hand-reared by experts.

The orphan was found by a dog walker near Market Rasen in Lincolnshire in February and kept warm in a jacket until the RSPCA arrived.

Staff at the charity's East Winch Wildlife Centre in Norfolk said the cub, named Bertha, was gaining weight.

The cub is being fed formula and has been joined by another orphan so they can be reared together.
