This little boy in just over a week ago sometimes I have no idea how they manage to survive- he loves his little elephant beanie lol
We are having a steady number coming in if anyone is able to help us by donating it would be a great help I keep hearing prices coming down but not on pet food I called to ordered formula which I used pay 24.99 for and was quoted 61.99, needs to say we shopped around.

Good morning
I really don't know where to start lol I had no idea it was so long since my last post until a lady called called saying she thought we had closed due to time since last update.

We are struggling at the moment as I know everyone is but not been able to go to do fundraising with my mobility and food, heating well everything increasing we would be very grateful if anyone could help with donations.
Thank you for supporting us Vicky xx

Hubby spotted a wandering hedgehog in the garden at 3am so I stayed up and caught him at the water bowl half an hour later. A bit thinner than he was but definitely one of the stolen ones ! Just need to get the last one tonight and I will be a happy bunny

I GOT ONE BACK !!!!! at midnight I looked out of the window to see a bedraggled hoggie face down in the water dish...defo one of the missing, I could see his markings! and this 69 year old did the fastest silent rugby tackle in history and caught him. He seemed ever so relieved! popped him in the hutch and his litter mate rushed over to bump noses and give him a good licking. so hopefully they weren't taken away- or not far anyway and he found his way home in 4 days.....just hope the other 2 can do it too. SOOO HAPPY

UPDATE on the stolen hoggies.
Last night the bastards came back for the last boy - they left everything locked up and tidy when they had finished just as before, and I almost had a heart attack when I saw the empty box. Found the boy hog in another hidden box in the garden under a pile of hay - he is strong and feisty and must have hissed and chuffed and stuck his spikes in someones hand and run away when they dropped him !!!!! he is now safe in my house and I have a painful welcome for anyone who thinks they are having him. Hope the holes in your hand hurt and get really badly infected , you thieving s**t. Can only think its a woman - what man would shut a door and lock it after thieving. The actions of this person will lead to the death of these hedgehogs- there is no water and the ground is too hard to get to worms and insects- and the worms have mostly died from dehydration too...so my babies will slowly die after a month of the best care they could have since they were abandoned by a starving mum. And I have to think about this every day. Think of anyone you might have mentioned these hoggies to - and whether they might have thought it wrong to "imprison" wild creatures, even though I was saving lives here...and was due to release them in 2 weeks in the best of health

To the person who stole 3 hedgehogs from the secure hutch in my garden. The ones you took were orphans, and had not yet learned to feed from worms and insects, only cat food . They have no idea what real hedgehog food is or how to dig for it. Plus the ground is so hard, they CANNOT dig and will starve if you don't feed them . They also have ringworm, you can tell by looking at the crusty skin......this was being treated carefully because it is CATCHING! You will get ringworm which will show on your skin and be hell to get rid of. One of them may have lungworm- eggs which hatch into worms that fill their lungs and slowly suffocate the poor hog and its a horrid slow death - but again was being treated. Please please will you bring them back, I was trying to save their lives with Vickys help...and I am devastated to lose them just when we thought their health issues were healing. You know how easy it was to take them...it would be just as easy to put them back - or leave them in a deep box on the doorstep so I find them in the morning. Or leave them somewhere I can collect them and ring me on 07989271934 and I will collect. I am sure you just wanted them as a nice pet, but they are wild and will bite and pass on parasites to you- and they will sicken and die without finishing treatment. All I was doing was keeping them alive and treating their parasites till we had enough rain to soften the ground so they could dig for insects and beetles...and we had a lovely forever home for them to go to...with water available all year round.....Please please, I beg you, bring them back so we can finish their treatment..if you don't, they will suffer and die. NO questions asked... just leave them where you found them, or in a deep secure box on the doorstep..and ring when you have gone. PLEASE, don't let them die- I have had them since they were 95gr babies abandoned by mum and have spent a lot of time and love on them. I just want them back till they are ready for release after finishing treatments.If you love hedgehogs, let them live - they CAN'T
survive without finishing treatment

THANK YOU, one and all!

Oggles needs HELP! they are bursting at the seams...hoggies in boxes piled high, waiting to be treated and STILL they are coming in. Most of the local rescues have closed their doors, they are overfull. Cawthorne Rescue is closed due to serious illness and may not re open. Vicky is indomitable... she doesn't give up. Last I heard the count on babies needing 2 hour feeds was up to 30...and that's the tip of the iceberg...starving dehydrated adults are stacked in her living room waiting for treatment - dozens of them...plus all the ones she has taken in over the last month. Her food bill is enormous- and all this is paid for out of Steves wages..just imagine if this was you! We had a lovely donation from a very kind young man - who wouldn't want his name published - lots of lovely cans and packs of cat and dog food which is perfect for hedgehogs. It will be lovely while it lasts but with so many mouths to feed it will soon be gone. PLEASE PLEASE can anyone help with food or donations, however small? A fiver is not a lot but buys around 8 tins which will feed a hedgehog for about a week. Scroll down the ABOUT page to find out how to keep this rescue afloat. A regular small ( or large!) monthly donation helps because it helps Vicky to budget...or you can buy one-off items for her likes Meds..Special baby milk for hoglets or medicines - or you can leave a
few cans of meat in jelly cat or dog food on her doorstep. However small , it will all help Oggles stay open. I FORGOT TO SAY ) DONATE AS FRIENDS AND FAMILY THEN PAYPAY DONT TAKE A CUT !

Thanks Christine
