Thousands of people can't get enough of these two tiny rescued Irish fox cubs sipping their milk

A PAIR of tiny fox cubs have been rescued from a derelict house in Ireland – and they’re probably the cutest things you’ve ever seen.

Last week, Kildare Animal Foundation Wildlife Unit took a call from someone who warned that two little fox cubs had been on their own for more than a day inside a house in Arklow, Co. wicklow.

They had no option but to intervene to save the tiny babies.

Two volunteers were despatched to the home and the cubs, estimated to be about three weeks old, were quickly rescued and brought to a foster carer in Dublin.

They are believed to be a brother and sister and weigh just 747 grams between them – slightly over 1 and ½ lbs.

The unit shared a heart-melting video on social media of the cubs lapping up milk after their lucky escape.

“These are a little brother and sister - the female is a petite 353gms and the male is a slightly more robust 394gms,” the unit said on Facebook.

“Their eyes are open and their little wobbly gait tells us that they are probably nearly three weeks old.

“Aren't they just beautiful?”

That they certainly are!
