With spring almost here many of us will have felt the rising temperatures and lengthening day, but spring also means one thing. Babies! Yes that’s right spring is the season of cute adorable babies, so in this post I will be telling you; when each baby animal first starts to appear, how many there are in a litter, along with fun facts, to help you know more about these adorable creatures. So let’s jump right in!
- Hedgehogs – May, June or even July. Some hedgehogs also have a second litter in September, but these hoglets rarely make it through the winter. A hedgehog will have 4-5 hoglets in a litter
- Foxes – Foxes are much simpler, they give birth in March, and only have one litter of 4-5 cubs per year. So watch out for them now, in a few days Fox cubs will be running around your garden!
- Badgers – boy, these badgers are early birds, they give birth usually in the first half of February, and their litter can differ between 1-5 cubs! So be on the lookout now!
- Squirrels – squirrels could give birth in many different months, march, April or June and July are the most common times of the year
- Deer – Deer are much more simple, they give birth in May or June to around 1, 2 or even 3 kids
- Owls – now owls are very interesting, although they are able to give birth in almost any month of the year, most pairs only lay eggs in the spring, with the most popular day being April 17th! It was May 9th, but has moved forward, scientists believe this to be because of climate change.
