Figures from 2024 across both sites (Langtoft & Flamborough)

207 hedgehogs/hoglets taken in
33 passed away within 24 hours
39 passed away within 36 hours
94 returned back to the wild
18 still in care, awaiting better weather

Hedgehogs that pass away before 36 hours are sadly hogs that arrive at rescue too late. The message is clear, if a hog needs help it needs it quickly, never delay in seeking advise (always have the patient in a high sided box first tho, the number of calls that rescues get when the hog hasn't been captured is huge). A hog out during the day is not ok (generally, unless nursing mum wanting 5 mins peace, a quick drink or call of nature or more bedding).

Take care when gardening, moving sheds etc, you never know where a hog will have made a nest and could have hoglets.

Water & supplementary feeding (good quality kitten biscuits) all year round, will help your hogs. As the climate has changed not all hogs will hibernate, some do & wake up thirsty and hungry & some sleep till spring. There isn't any natural food available for them in winter.

Look at what you can do in your garden to create a great environment for hogs favourite foods of caterpillars and beetles, eating too many slugs, snails & earthworms can make them poorly. And other wildlife will benefit too.

Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas.
Thank you for your support this year, in whatever way you have managed it, liking our page, volunteering, helping raise valuable funds, donations etc.
It's been a tough year for our hoggies, so let's hope 2025 is better.
Our best wishes Jo, Ruth & the hoggies in our care (probably now until spring)! ❤️🦔
PS We still have some spare collection tins if you have somewhere to pop it at your work (or know somewhere that might take one)

Edit - due to the weather forecast, this has now been changed to Saturday 30th

Live locally ? Fancy a trip to Flamborough on Saturday ?
If so please pop in and see us at Flamborough Village Hall as we have a stall there from 10am (until about 2 depending on how busy it is). Believe entry is 50p each for Village Hall funds.
We have been gifted lots of things to sell to raise vital funds to keep the rescue open and the hoggies fed.
Would be great to see you ❤️🦔

Hedgehogs that are out at night and appear healthy are best left alone.

Support the rescue and sort out a Christmas present all in one hit !

We were donated a brewery tour voucher for 2 from Wold Top for the raffle we did in Flamborough last month. The winner doesn't drink and couldn't find someone to gift it to, so donated it back to us.
So, if you would like it please put a bid in for it, price starts at £18 and your bids need to be in by 5pm next Sunday 22nd September.

Your support is most appreciated, and apologies for the lack of updates, we've been busy with hogs !
We have got a lot back to the wild in the last couple of weeks and now the next batch of little ones will start to appear (see Vanilla) as mum's have a second litter.

If you are local please do pop down and say hello, have a go on the tombola and buy a card or two. Depending on space we will also have some craft items for sale.
Every penny helps goes towards the care of our prickly patients ❤️🦔

Please share this important message far and wide, as rescues we see so many strimmer injuries, some are survivable but sadly many aren't 😢
