😁😁 Updates
Wath
(Debs, Devan, Julie, Anna, Billy and Tammy)
After a few releases last weekend we had a couple of places so we had -
Sultana came in from Gipsy Green lane, Wath. Marie found Sultana OITD and was only 227g.
She had a terrible capillaria burden and sadly went over the hedgie 🌈 bridge on Friday. You fought so hard, sorry we couldn’t save you little in 😢
Little Dave 2 came in from Clifton Park, Rotherham at 98g. He has a tiny cut on a back leg and green poo.
He has settled down with some meds and TLC and is 133g already.
Fidget came in from Cathryn at Medivets wath. Fidget has suffered lack of food and water , too much so came out for help,but it was too much too late for the little fella and he’s passed safe warm and loved😢🌈
Oreo was OITD in Rawmarsh
And was 134g. He has really struggle to realise that mum isn’t there and he needs to eat. Day 3 after loosing weight, he finally gets it and is back up to 130g today.
Come on Oreo get with the program Eat,Sleep 💩 Repeat.
Denise from Waverley 487g, is not a well hedgie and struggling. Meds and tests done but no clear reasons for his general health being so low. TLC and a check up with the vets next week, if he’s not any better.
Grogu 209g was found by Julie. He has a small wound on a leg but other than that, he’s doing well. 👍
Wee Nibbles came in from Waverley at 108g. A very good weight for this 16-20 day old Hoglet.
Sadly mum was killed on the road and 2 of the siblings perished, but thanks to the quick actions of the finders, she has survived the first 48 hours of gentle rehydration
So now time to get some food down her and then she will be stable enough to come out of the incubator 🥰
Pinky is a big girl in a big girl nursery cage but has been split from perky and Rockette as she was thriving more than them. ⭐️
Perky and Rockette are now in a nursery cage with Rockette as they adjust to not having the incubator for support. They are doing well, good progress so far 💕
Duncan is starting to get fur on his body and is looking podgy. So cute 🥰
Jeff’s abscess is looking so much better and healing.
Good progress again this week from Jeff. 👍
Jess has had her best week yet. Good girl 👌🏼
Lucky Luke get to go home very soon 🎉
Peaches is sounding better than when he came in and is no longer limping 👍
Update from Chelle
First up, thank you to Kate for the donation of an outdoor hutch and to Johnny, Coral, and Olivia for the hedgehog house.
Sunday night saw a knock on my door - a neighbour with an injured hedgehog in a box. Slightly swollen face that is being treated with meds. Francis is doing ok.
Prickles Norton has reached release weight, so will be wild and free tonight. Considering how poorly he was, at one point, this is amazing news.
Also, going wild and free this weekend is Jace. His eye is fine now, and he is desperate to go, completely trashing his cage as soon as it is cleaned.
The Deepcar 3 are doing great. All 3 are increasing in weight. The biggest, DC Nat, is nearly at release weight already. DC Spike and DC Harry are lagging behind a bit, but they are still doing well.
Update from Christa in Worsbrough: Buddy2 is doing well, a very quiet and clean little hog, now sitting at 425g and being released Sunday. Dancer is such a curious little thing, he’s doing well and is up at 405g, also going for release on Sunday. Xx
Update from Hickleton; Milton’s wound is still being stubborn 😠🤞for better progress this week. The churchyard three are making steady progress. Bellie’s new spines are looking fabulous and with a little more weight gain this special little clanger will be tasting freedom 😊

Dave and Pat in Swinton
June and Titch released last night into the safe gardens of their finders. They were both a good weight and will be watered and fed.
Gilbert McSqueaker was released Saturday night into a safe garden and has been seen making friends with the resident hedgehogs. 🦔 Being fed and watered there too.
Annabell is being released tonight into our garden. All such character and will be missed.
Just waiting for Horace’s finder to get in touch so he can be released- he’s a massive 840gs and will enjoy his freedom again when he goes.
Update from Liz in Wombwell.
Little Ted is getting bigger. Was 337g about this time last week. He's now 404g. Not long now Ted..
Daisy is 964g and still has a ridge of dry skin on her nose from ringworm that we really want gone so she can go free.
Alannah update:
Matthew has made a full recovery! So happy bless him. He’s nearly at release weight - should be wild and free next week
Bea is getting along fine - definitely scabbing over and she’s so big she barely fits in the weighing scales 😂 but not fully healed yet so she’ll be with me some while longer.
Update from Joanne – Kimberworth
Last weekend Elderflower weighed 559g when she was released back to her finder. Go wild, Elderflower, and enjoy your freedom 🥰🦔
Jeremy weighed 337g last week he’s now a whopping 426g. He certainly knows how to make his presence known — he likes to huff, puff and pop whenever you go near him! 😂🦔💨 But underneath all that attitude, he’s doing really well.
Jemima arrived with me on Saturday to feed up weighing just 181g. This week she’s up to 256g — a fantastic gain in such a short time. She’s such a sweet little thing and is doing brilliantly.
Updates from Sean Kimberworth Park Base

Harold is keeping us entertained by redecorating his cage and then finding a new hiding spot each morning,he’s very picky with his food,he’s certainly a character 🦔
This week's hedgie update from Helen in Wombwell.
Henry and Lucky have been released into two lovely gardens.
Kimmy's weigh is going up but in slow single digits. New habit this week of peeing in her food bowl 🤮 which isn't really helping. C'mon lass, let's have some 10g+ gains and you can be free in a week.
Hollie now back in my care after a few days at hogspital for treatment. Yoyoing weight still but getting there.
Melon and Kendra both fattening up nicely.
Spike2 is a very angry young hoglet. He hisses like he's possessed and "pops" when you touch him. Great defence tactics but ouch, I'm trying to help 🤣 adding weight so all good.
Update from Michelle.
Last weekend I picked up the adorable Sporty & Posh, 2 of the Spice girls that were hand reared by Chief P. They have settled in well and both gained a little since they arrived. Hopefully I can get them to a good release weight over the coming weeks 🤞😀
