Since leaving my RVN role mid-August I have been kept busy with wild babies!
I have been fostering for a local hedgehog rescue for a few months .. I’ve recently upped my capacity to 2 zoozones to free up the more experienced volunteers to triage and look after the super poorly ones! (Which there seems to be an influx of at the moment 🥺)
My current prickly guests are:
Max - A tiny little dot who has already put on 20g in 2 nights 😍 He had ringworm, was treated and got the all clear and as you can see in the last picture awaiting his spines to grow back 💙
Princess Elsa (🙄) named by my Frozen obsessed 2 year old!! - Elsa is a very beautiful girl who was scooped up from a road in Marham I believe.. Thoroughly checked over, clear poo samples so just awaiting her to eat her way to over 400g and off she will go to the next phase! 💖
On the day I picked up these 2 hedgeys.. I handed over my little peeper friend (squab/juvenile wood pigeon) to my amazing friend Lisa - Little Pidge has gone to stay in an aviary for 1-2 weeks to learn to be wild and not so dependent on humans (as he was VERRRY needy!!) … He will then come back to me and be released in my garden where food and water are aplenty and he has plenty of pigeon company! 😍
I didn’t have time for this previously, even in an animal based role - The inpatients obviously took priority and my home life was non existent. I took a few weeks to breathe and find a new normal and I was ready to devote time back especially to wildlife 💚
Stay tuned for my Elsa and Max updates … Plus whatever else comes through my front door 😁🐾
