Hello, I’m a hedgehog, and if you keep shutting me out of your garden, I’m going to go extinct. I’m already on the IUCN Red List (GB) as vulnerable. It might sound dramatic, but for those of us navigating the modern world, the fences you build are walls we simply cannot climb. We aren't looking to take over; we’re just small travellers on a nightly quest for food and a safe place to rest our weary heads. When every garden is sealed shut, our world shrinks, our food disappears, and our families are torn apart by barriers we don't understand.
​I promise I’m a neighbour worth having. I’ll spend my nights quietly patrolling your flowerbeds, acting as your natural pest control. I don’t ask for much—just a tiny gap at the bottom of a fence, a "hedgehog highway," so I can pass through safely without having to risk the dangerous, busy roads that claim so many of my friends.
​Please, take a moment to look at your garden through my eyes. A little corner of wildflowers, a shallow dish of water, or even just a small hole in the fence can be the difference between a future for my kind and a world where we only exist in picture books. I want to keep snuffling through the leaves and waking up to the smell of your garden, but I can't do it alone. I need you to let me in.

Hedgehogs’ habitat is shrinking, they’re vulnerable to cars, and pesticides are affecting their food supply. Here’s how we can help them pull through

This tiny badger cub was found out during the day - cold, hungry, and alone. For a young badger, being out in daylight is often a worrying sign that something isn’t right.

At this age, badger cubs should be safely tucked away underground with mum. Without intervention, this little one would have struggled to survive.

At Tiggywinkles, the cub is now receiving round-the-clock care as he regains strength and has the company and comfort of being with other badger cubs. With time, proper nutrition and expert monitoring, we hope they’ll all grow into strong youngsters ready for a second chance back in the wild.

Thank you to the kind finder who made sure he got help when he needed it most 💚
