A pair of tiny fox kits are being hand-reared by keepers at a safari park.<br/><br/>Weighing in total just 46 grams, the adorable pair of fennec foxes at Longleat Safari Park, Wiltshire, have not been named yet named and their gender is unknown.<br/><br/>Samantha Peeke, their keeper, is sharing the sleepless nights with colleagues Gemma Short and Catriona Moy as the babies initially need feeding every two hours, day and night.<br/><br/>They are planning to introduce them to rice as the first step to weaning.<br/><br/>Samantha said: “We are now feeding them every three hours with a longer break overnight.<br/><br/>“We are sharing the care so they don’t get attached to one of us as the aim is to reintroduce them to their mum and dad; eventually we hope they will also become part of the international breeding programme.\
