Mel's hedgehog rescue

Mel's hedgehog rescue I've been rescuing and rehabilitating hedgehogs for around 1.5 years. I'm in Chelmsford Essex and I'm a small self funded rescue.

Feel free to contact me for advice/information. I work with support of other rescues so the hogs get the best care possible.

Not the greatest of photos but when I checked lilly 🦔 over today I found she had a little cyst where her whiskers are. It popped during cleaning so treatment was applied. I don't think she will need antibiotics for it but will clean daily and monitor for the next day or two.

Unfortunately I don't think we are winning with Pip 🦔 just yet. She lost 37 g ⚖️ overnight and hasn't been great today. The medication for helping her breathing finished yesterday, but I had to give another dose this afternoon as she wasn't quite right. She will probably need another couple of days treatment to help her recover.

Lilly 🦔 was weighed ⚖️ yesterday and had lost another 4g. Well done Lilly 🦔 you're doing great 👍🦔❤️

Yesterday I gave Pip 🦔 an igloo to hide in thinking she'd prefer to be hidden. How wrong was I? She pulled her blanket out and slept outside the doorway 🤔
