Busy Busy

We’re (well. Tracy is) still busy with hedgehogs – 9 more in over the last 6 days, one put to sleep due to severe respiratory problems, and 4 out to Lynne to foster for us.

We’ve been far busier than we ever expected to be, so we have not been so prepared as we might have/should have been.

Come the spring, we’ll be ripping out one of the sheds and converting it to a proper hog house – I have a consumer unit, lights and sockets already, so it’s a case of clearing it out, wiring it up and building in shelves to hold the cages to house the hogs in.

As long as it doesn’t get in the way of me beekeeping that is 😛

As it stands at the moment, we have 35 in the house, 8 in the garden and 4 at Lynnes! Upton Vets have been on the phone, and they have 2 more for us, one of which is under 100g and will need syringe feeding.

Happy days

Bank Holiday

We hope you are all enjoying your Bank Holiday weekend!

Ours has been spent mostly picking off flystrike from the many hogs who have come in over the weekend, hence not so many updates recently.

Please remember if you are doing any gardening or DIY in your gardens, look out for hedgehogs and in particular nests of babies. They may be under a shrub, a shed, decking, behind plant pots and even under the tarpaulin covers of garden furniture or bar-b-ques.

If you happen to disturb a nest, please cover it over again and give us a call for advice. We are here 24/7 on 07587 925476
