Fox cubs have adopted a cuddly toy as their surrogate mother.

 A farmer who gave three orphaned fox cubs a child's toy was shocked when the youngsters welcomed the cuddly animal as their surrogate mother.  The cubs immediately bonded with the furry toy and have been inseparable from their new 'mum', even refusing to go to sleep at night without it in their basket.

'They are looking a lot healthier than when they were first brought in and it is fantastic to see them doing so well.
