Hospital Warns Patients About Wild Foxes On Grounds
Signs have been posted around the grounds of the Rotunda Hospital warning about wild foxes.
The signs warn that while the animals "may look cute" they are wild and inquisitive animals. Patients are urged to "keep doors and windows closed" and ask people not to feed the foxes.
It is understood that there has been no attacks or injuries caused by the foxes but the hospital doesn't want patients of visitors feeding them or encouraging contact.
