Cuckoo Trail

An armadillo has escaped from his home between Polgate and Hailsham.

Lindsay Parker, joint owner of Animal Magic, said their armadillo named Stanley was last seen on the Cuckoo Trail, near the Knights Farm shop, on Thursday morning, September 3rd.

Animal Magic are based between Polgate and Hailsham and offer interactive educational handling displays with their animals.

Stanley escaped by breaking down the door of his enclosure on Tuesday night, September 1st, having only been with them for three months.

He's friendly as far as armadillos go.

He'll take food if you've got the right food for him, but he's not an animal you can walk up to and pick up.

Despite only being small, Lindsay said he's already covered a couple of miles from their home to the cuckoo trail.

Anyone who spots Stanley can email Animal Magic at animalmagicevents at gmail.com.

So have people seen it in

and around? Have you seen it yet, Ryan? No, I mean, my girlfriend's an absolute massive fan of them, but it's seen on the Cuckoo Trail, which is a popular dog walking path and stuff.

We literally live back onto it, so we might go out hunting for it later.

Yeah, well, not hunting.
