A family in Zell am Moos recently gave a baby marten to the Pfotenhilfe animal sanctuary. It was lying very weak in the garden and, as it turned out, the little marten had bite wounds on its head that were probably caused by a dog. Although pus was coming out of its eye, the vet could not find any fracture to its skull.
The young animal is now on the road to recovery. “As soon as it is fit again, it will be socialized with another orphaned marten baby of about the same age, which I have been raising with a bottle since March,” says Pfotenhilfe managing director Johanna Stadler. “Then the two can move into a large aviary, where they will be prepared for the wild.”
Stadler criticizes the fact that martens in Upper Austria can be killed in the spring when they have young. “The young then starve to death in agony,” she says.
