🐍🐍Adder Season on Ashdown Forest🐍🐍
The sun is out and that means adders will be more active, resulting in dog bites.
Strategies to avoid adders this year:
🐍Avoid walking your dog in known adder habitats like the ‘Ashdown Forest’ between 11AM-5PM (peak times for adder basking/activity).
🐍If you walk your dog in adder risk areas keep it on a short lead on paths at all times.
🐍Don’t let it explore the undergrowth.
🐍Put a bell on your dogs collar to create a noise for the adder to hear it coming.
