We thought you would like to see Sadie with her babies. The babies are now 3 weeks old, and their eyes are open. They are snuggling up to mum while their bedding is being changed. Ivy and her 4 babies are also doing well.

🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔 Last week brought exciting news, as two of our female patients, Sadie, currently being treated for ringworm and Ivy, who had an eye removed upon admission after a dog attack, both gave birth here at the rescue.
We are always very cautious when admitting large females at this time of year as we are fully aware they could be pregnant. For now, the exact number of babies each mum has welcomed remains a mystery, as its necessary to leave the bedding area undisturbed, but we’ll be keeping a close eye on them 🦔🐾

🦔❤️ More Baby News! 🦔❤️

We received a concerned call about a Mama hog and her babies living in a cardboard box in the caller's backyard. Although they'd done an amazing job of protecting the nest, Mama Hog's choice of a box to raise her little ones wasn't ideal, especially with the heavy rain showers we've been having lately! ☔️
Mama and her little ones, along with the nesting material are now all now tucked up safe and warm here at the rescue, until we can release them back into the wild. 🌿💚
We're unsure how many babies there are, as we want to minimize any stress for Mama during this transition, although we believe them to be just a few days old.
Many thanks to the householder for their kindness and care.🦔❤️

🌟🦔❤Warning - Cuteness overload ❤🦔🌟

Just like buses, baby hogs are arriving at the rescue in twos and threes lately!
Recently, we received a call about a nest of three little hoglets found near a football field. The kind folks who discovered them had been keeping an eye on the situation and noticed that no adult hog had visited the nest.
Although they weren’t able to bring the hoglets to us, luck was on our side as our amazing volunteers, Sarah and Wayne just happened to be in Newcastle and could quickly help. 🙌
On arrival they found the little ones very cold and covered in fly eggs. Caring Sarah wrapped them in her scarf, keeping them warm and cozy on their way to the rescue. ❤️
Once they arrived, our amazing Carole sprang into action, carefully removing all the fly eggs before they could hatch. After then warming these little fighters in an incubator, they were thrilled to enjoy the special formula milk she prepared and tenderly fed to them! 🍼💕
We're so grateful for the support of our volunteers and the community! Together, we’re giving these adorable hoglets a second chance at life. Stay tuned for more updates on their journey! 🌟✨

A short while ago we received a call from a kind-hearted lady who had found a hedgehog struggling with an apparent issue in one of its hind legs. Upon examination, it seemed there could be a fracture, so pain relief and antibiotics were administered, and an appointment was made for Harmony (the hedgehog) to see our vet the next morning.
However, when preparing Harmony for her trip to the vet, we discovered she had given birth to three stillborn babies overnight. Sadly, the vet confirmed that Harmony’s injuries were more severe than initially thought, she had a fractured pelvis, not just a leg. Despite all efforts, she had to be put to sleep.
Although this is a heartbreaking outcome, we are grateful that she was found by someone who recognised her distress and sought help. Harmony was a stunning, large female hedgehog, and her story is a reminder of the challenges these wonderful creatures face.

One of the 7 babies, getting fed. It is very time consuming ensuring each baby gets enough formula and is gently toileted afterwards. But so rewarding when we see them gaining weight 🦔🐾

‼️Warning Graphic Images‼️️
One of our volunteers discovered this poor injured hedgehog in his garden and called it Pickles. Pickles has what we suspect a strimmer injury.
Fortunately following a trip to our vet, Pickles is doing very well and will hopefully continue to improve 🦔🐾
