Two fox cubs had to be rescued after they fell 10 feet through a broken skylight and became trapped inside a property in Kent.
The terrified cubs were photographed trying to hide on the top of kitchen cabinets in the property, which was littered with broken glass.
An RSPCA inspector was alerted by police in Ramsgate to rescue the animals which had fallen 10ft through the opening and were unable to get back out.
Fortunately despite officers fears the animals were unhurt by their escapade and were safely released back into the wild.
It’s not known how long they had been inside the property before being discovered.

Once inside, they found a large amount of shattered glass and a brick on the floor.
RSPCA Inspector Tina Nash said: ‘The two cubs were crouched on top of the kitchen wall cabinets and were clearly very frightened.
‘There was shattered glass all over the floor as well as a brick so we believe the skylights had been smashed and the foxes, who were exploring the flat roof above, fell through and got stuck.’
‘They’d fallen around 10ft so they were lucky not to be seriously injured – but they were very nervous and we don’t know how long they’d been trapped in the apartment for.
‘Thankfully, I was able to catch them easily and I checked them over and they weren’t injured, so I took them to a park nearby and released them back into the undergrowth. They were keen to get away.’
She added: ‘When an animal is in need, the quicker they get help the better.
‘There may be times when you can help get a sick, injured or abandoned animal quickly by taking them directly to a vet, rehabilitation centre or rescue centre, or free a trapped animal yourself – and the RSPCA offers bespoke advice to the public about the quickest way to get an animal in need help.’
