Spikey who was so tiny when she came to us, she had to use a tea bag dish for her food! She was discovered outside her finders back door trying to get into the house on a cold wet night.
This little bundle of newborn hoglets came to us today, weighing between 16g – 19g. Their nest was disturbed yesterday,
Meet Marian, she came to us last week after being seen out in daytime, wandering around aimlessly. She has a sunken left eye and her right eye looks milky, so is possibly blind.
As you can see from the photos, she also has significant spine loss, probably from a mite or ringworm infection that, judging from the condition of her skin, appears to have cleared up.
We currently have 34 hoglets (baby hedgehogs) in our care; 25 are with their mothers 9 orphans are in incubators
The helpline is available 24/7. Please check our FAQs before calling.

Clearly in good hands now and I can’t wait to be part of the release in the spring when he is healthy again ?
