Got spiked again through my gloves. So irritating. Really want to pop them but cant have to treat them as they are or ringworm will spread.

Little Juniper doing well with parasite treatments and gaining weight nicely. But looks a state because of the ringworm. She's lost all her belly fur and some spines. All three of the siblings from Mandys garden have ringworm so they all look rough. Getting them right takes months. Its a slow process and if it wasn't for me having so many hogs in with ringworm I could move more hogs around into outdoor hutches but not until they are clear of this fungal condition.

Just typical. After being here a month and only needing treatment for cap, paul has shown lungworm in his samples today. Just when I was ready to move him to the outside hutch. Never mind, few more weeks indoors for him.

Thank you so much to Michelle for all these pots of gourmet, a bottle of leucillin and this huge roll of cleaning paper.

Yesterday I went to see Peter to pick up two new houses he had made for two releases sites and he gave me the money he raised for the rescue from the guess the nails in the bucket competition. Which was a lovely amount of £21.50. He also gave me the money he donated to the rescue from the sale of more of his hedgehog houses. Which this time was £35. For every house Peter makes he donates £5 to the rescue.
If anyone would like a hedgehog house and your local they are made from mostly recycled materials and are £30 each and are very strong and well made.
Today i used £20 of that money to buy two used zoozone cages from shelly at Peterborough Hedgehog Hotel who has upgraded the cages in her rescue and she was selling of the old cages.
This doesn't mean I can take in more hedgehogs, it's for moving on hogs that are in the smaller stacking unit to give them more space.
I'm hoping in the next week to have a few hogs ready to move into the outdoor hutches. So they can adjust to the outside temperatures ready for release.

For anyone that doesn't know what a parasite burden cough sounds like, listen to this video. This cough is coming from the now named Lemon that come in last Thursday. She has show lungworm in her samples and this is the sound of as we say of a lungworm cough. Horrible sound. She's on treatment for it.
