The distressed two-week-old cubs were rescued after being exposed when a large shipping container was moved in an overgrown garden.

They were suffering from hypothermia by the time they were handed to Badger Trust workers.

Pat and Jeff Hayden, from the Badger Trust, took them to Folly Wildlife Rescue in Eridge after an emergency hand-over in Ditchling by one of their field officers.

The cubs are now doing well and a fourth cub rescued by the trust has been added to the family.
