Secret World Wildlife Rescue – Vets in Highbridge
Clinic Overview
Secret World Wildlife Rescue appears to operate as a wildlife rescue charity rather than a companion-animal veterinary practice, with multiple reviews describing rapid advice and intake/collection for injured wild animals. Recent reviewers specifically mention injured foxes and injured birds being assessed based on shared videos, with the team giving a reference number so callers can check back on a case. Beyond rescue work, reviews also describe structured education visits (including sessions for young children) and public wildlife events such as bat walks using detectors.

I found an injured fox outside our house in Bristol and wasn't sure what to do - I called Secret World who answered straight away - they were really helpful and organised for someone to come and rescue him, all within an hour. So impressed with the response, they are doing great work - thank you to the whole team!

Our school had a fantastic trip to Secret World in November. George delivered three superb sessions which were a great balance of information, hands-on practical activities and exploring the site pitched at an appropriate level for our 4, 5 & 6-year-olds. Our children came away with a wealth of information about our native wildlife and were enthusiastic about how they could help an animal in need.

The team sensitively organised a celebration of life afternoon event. The food was was delicious - hot soup, homemade quiches and amazing deserts. The Bluebell barn comfortably accommodated 50 guests, and the overspill marquee space was welcome when the weather did not lend itself to using the garden space. Close to the crematorium and a kind team, I would recommend.

The team are great! I called after a few visits from an injured fox and the phone had only rang 3 times before a lovely lady picked it up and chatted through the situation with me. We chatted via what’s app and shared videos of the fox so the team could see exactly what was happening and they gave me a ‘ foxy reference number’ 😊 so we can always check back in. I won’t hesitate to contact the team again 😊

We really enjoyed the bat walk and talk event last evening. It was very well organised and informative. Seeking out the bats on the walk was good fun yet educational too.

Thoroughly enjoyable 2 hours that was informative and interesting. Great fun using the bat detector with surprisingly positive results in finding different types of bats. Looking forward to my next visit to Secret World Wildlife Rescue.

On 2 separate occasions, I had to drop off injured birds to secret world near Highbridge, when nobody else would take them in. One bird was caught by one of my cats and the other one was on the side of the road, it maybe fell off its nest. I couldn’t fault the amazing service and support secret world provided. It’s only 20 mins away from Weston super mare! Please donate if you can, they are great support for the wild animals.
