A builder clearing out a garage before starting works found a nesting mother with two hoglets in. He did the right thing by scooping up mother and babies along with the nest, and placed them in a box before calling us.
The hoglets are no older than 48 hours, they are still pink and have white spikes.
They are all currently in a dark box with food and water for mum. We are hoping the stress of being disturbed and moved does not make her reject the hoglets, or worse.
Felicity came in via emergency vet recently. She weighed just 109g and was very poorly and almost died on two
We have had another hog brought in this evening, as it was noticed hobbling about during the day, and the finders also recognised that it was dehydrated.
We gave it a check over, and noticed that it’s back right leg had been cut almost through, and that broken bones were visible.
Following our little piece in yesterdays Echo, we had 4 hedgehogs in overnight and this morning.One from Bournemouth College campus, which was brought in by a member of the college staff, one from Corfe-Mullen which had been found laying on the road, one from Wareham which sadly died before it got here, and one this morning from Upton that was found when a garden shed was being taken down.
The helpline is available 24/7. Please check our FAQs before calling.
