This young rescue stoat wants to explore its new outdoor enclosure, but first it must pluck up the courage to leave the safety of its comfort-hat. You can watch this stoat’s rehabilitation journey live on my animal webcams here: https://www.youtube.com/live/YyUgl4bDBt0?feature=share

STOAT RESCUE
This stoat is roughly six weeks old and is ready for slow release back to the wild. But first it must get used to outdoor life.
COMFORT HAT
The stoat has used this old hat since it first arrived here at Fotherdale after being discovered abandoned. When it was time to introduce the stoat to its new outdoor enclosure I brought the hat along with the stoat to make sure it felt at home.
WATCH REHABILITATION JOURNEY
This enclosure has a hidden camera inside it so you can watch this animal’s rehabilitation live. See if you can glimpse it here: https://www.youtube.com/live/YyUgl4bDBt0?feature=share
