A wildlife rescue worker has told how her life was turned upside down when she became a foster mum to five orphaned baby - BADGERS. Hayley Robinson, 27, had no choice but to step up and be a round-the-clock full time mum to the days old cubs who were yet to open their eyes. The wildlife rescue centre worker was looking after just one tiny badger when another FOUR were brought in days later after their mother abandoned their flooded sett.
Too tiny to leave at the rescue centre where she works, she had to bring the five - Valentine, Rose, Cupid, Juliette and Casanova - home so she could be on hand 24/7.
Just like all first-time new parents, her nights are filled with round the clock feeds, initially waking up every two hours to feed the squeaking hungry newborns.
And after sleepless nights, she bundles them all into their incubator which she straps into the passenger seat of her car, to take them to work with her.
Between sterilising bottles and syringe feeding, she's also had to step up and perform the grooming, cleaning and even potty training their mum would usually do.
A month in, she still has four more weeks of intense mum duty before the cubs are big enough to be left alone at Cuan Wildlife Rescue ahead of their release back into the wild.
Her job involved sterilising and bottle-feeding the cubs every two hours, as well as cleaning out their bedding and helping them go to the toilet.
She described how she would traipse downstairs in her two-bed home several times throughout the night to feed the cubs in their bed in her living room.
