At last a better news post – this adult male hog, 525g, came in after being found wandering around, dazed and confused. It is believed he fell off a wall!
His eyes are both a bit swollen, but we cannot see anything else wrong with him.
He was, however, extremely hungry, and demolished a whole pouch of cat meat in one go, as can be seen in this video.
Barney, the hog that came in after being bitten by a dog last night, is stable, but has not eaten
A timely reminder of the danger that ponds pose to hedgehogs – this large adult male, 1.5kg, came in this
We maintain several feeding stations for hedgehogs in our garden as we get so many of them visiting, probably because at the bottom of our garden is Lytchett Bay nature reserve, a SSSI. We found several autumn juveniles in the garden, or out on the nature reserve, that were too small for hibernation, so have had them over wintering. These all get released out the back, so it’s nice to be able to see them still around.
The helpline is available 24/7. Please check our FAQs before calling.
