In a change from my usual broadcasts, I’d like to wish a very Happy Heinz (a clue to her age 😛 ) Birthday to my lovely wife, Tracy, AKA the crazy hedgehog lady, founder of Hamworthy hedgehog rescue, head nurse, chief cook and bottle washer, who is currently at the pictures with the grand kids watching some kids film or other lol.
I hope you are making the most of the ‘down time’, and don’t fall asleep during the film!
Louis came in to us on a very wet and windy night last week, very cold, dehydrated and lethargic, weighing 300g.
We, like many other rescues, are currently being inundated with hedgehogs that do not need to come into care, partly
Button was brought to us after being found collapsed on a driveway. She was taken to the Vets as we are very concerned for her. She has swelling all down her right side, from her eye to her tail, including her legs, and has severe bruising. She was x-rayed but no breaks were found thankfully. It is possible that she has some brain trauma, and we will have to wait and see how that develops.
The helpline is available 24/7. Please check our FAQs before calling.
