With the mild weather we are currently experiencing there are hedgehogs now waking up in our area.
They will be hungry and thirsty after their sleep, so please remember to pop some kitten biscuits out each night and fresh water.
Should you have any needing help, please contact your nearest rescue for advice. www.helpwildlife.co.uk www.yorkshirehedgehogs.co.uk
If you pick one up always wear gloves, pop the hog in a high sided box (if need be put the box in the bath, as they are good climbers and escape artists). Provide warmth (a warm hot water bottle or plastic drink bottle, wrapped in an tea towel). Something to hide under/in (torn strips of newspaper or an old fleece/tea towel). And provide water to drink. Please don't offer food (unless spoken to a rescue) as digesting food uses vital energy. Always contain the hog before calling a rescue.
Hope all your prickly visitors arrive back visiting you soon and are all fighting fit.
