An orphaned badger cub who was saved by a Norfolk wildlife centre after being rescued by a dog walker at just days old is doing well.
RSPCA East Winch Wildlife Centre is caring for the tiny badger cub, nicknaming her Bertha, after she was spotted on the ground by a woman's dog on February 13.
She could not see any family nearby, so picked up the cub, who was frozen solid, and kept her warm inside her jacket.
Weeks later, she weighs over one kilo, is "being very vocal and feeding well", and has been joined by another orphaned badger cub.

Bartholomew came from East Sussex Wildlife Rescue and Ambulance Service (WRAS) and the two have been paired as it is important for them to learn one another's wild instincts.
The badger cubs will remain together at the centre until they are old enough to be released back to the wild - first being introduced to a soft release site.
Usually, cubs stay below ground and emerge from their sett at around eight to ten weeks old.
