Quokka Box is a fun, monthly letterbox subscription that teaches children how to respect and live in harmony with animals, both near and far.

Because they share our world.

And all led in an engaging narrative from our main character, Quokka!

This Wildlife Wednesday, to celebrate National Marine Week, we are looking at seals! These guys spend most of their time diving and swimming in icy ocean waters (mainly the Arctic & Antarctic), looking for fish and crustaceans to eat. Did you know that they can stay underwater for almost 15 mins?!

🦭These charismatic creatures are sadly yet another species being affected by climate change. Many species of seal rely on ice for their lifecycle to enable them to feed their young. With less ice, it means the seals and their pups are separated prematurely leading to pup mortality. They are also hugely important animals in the marine food chain but sadly can be seen by humans (some fishermen), as a problem as they blame them for the decline in fish.

❗Whilst these amazing creatures are not at an endangered stage, we hope to continue to spread awareness of their value and how our actions once again, are contributing to their decline.

Did you know that wild tiger numbers have dropped by a shocking 95% since the beginning of the 20th century?

Today is International Tiger Day, and a time to reflect on what's caused this devastating decline. Illegal wildlife trade, human-wildlife conflict, habitat loss and fragmentation and climate change all play a part. The positive news, however, is that thanks to charities such as WWF, who work closely with governments and community groups across Asia, their numbers are finally on the increase.

This 'Wildlife Wednesday', we are looking at the humble hedgehog.

This much loved creature has been in harsh decline for the last 70 years. With our warming climate, it is thought that this has affected their hibernation patterns, meaning they wake at the wrong time of year, when often there is limited food. Similarly, with our growing human population, new roads and building developments have encroached on their homes. So, how can we help these prickly little hogs?

🦔Hedgehogs like dry spaces such as under garden sheds, hedges, compost heaps or even just an untidy and overgrown bit of your garden — so be careful when moving or clearing such spaces, especially during winter when they will be hibernating. You could be destroying their home.
🦔If you have water in your garden such as a pond, make sure there is an easy way for hedgehogs to climb out.
🦔Did you know that hedgehogs are lactose intolerant? Ignore the old wives tale and don’t leave out a saucer of milk for your prickly pals! Provide fresh, plain water instead.
🦔Hedgehogs will relish any meat-based wet dog or cat foods, or dry kitten food, as these are high in the protein that they need. Just remember, they will be getting most of their food from insects and worms in the wild. You can also purchase hedgehog specific food from your local garden centre, if in doubt! Don't forget to dispose of anything not eaten to avoid it going off.

There are so many ways that we can be helping our local wildlife. Let us know what you are doing!

We're busy putting the final touches to the August Quokka Box subscription, so here's a sneak peek into what's coming up next month...

Animal Wise focuses on how we can help wildlife during summer heatwaves, along with learning more about beautiful barn owls, taking a trip back in time to learn all about the T-Rex, and of course, all the usual fun features!

In The Wild Side, we're heading off to hotter climes to meet the African Forest Elephant. Let's see what children can learn about these mega-gardeners of the forest!

You can still sign up in time to join the August mailing list - just head to our website > https://www.quokkabox.com/

Whilst this weather we’re having is absolutely glorious, it is too hot for many of us. So, imagine you’re an animal wearing a thick, furry coat!

The summer months can be very uncomfortable - and even dangerous - for our pets and also the wildlife around us. Whilst we can all do the simple yet crucial things for our pets such as providing shade and cool water, and not walking dogs in the heat of the day or leaving pets in hot cars, conservatories or caravans, for some wildlife, accessibility to what we may consider the basics, can prove tough. So as well as sharing our top-tips on how to keep your pets safe in the heat, we’re also going to explore what you can do to help the wildlife living around you to get through this rather warm heatwave we are having!
