I’ve been made aware another local hedgehog facility is private messaging people telling them to NOT send hedgehogs to me. I suggest they focus on the shared aim of helping hedgehogs rather than fixating on another rehabber you’ve taken a dislike to. If this behaviour continues I will not hesitate to take further action.

Happy news today in that we waved bye bye to Dexter, one of the babies I hand reared. He came in at 103g & left at 895g!...

This is a video of Ann Pacino leaving after treatment for a nasty open wound under her chin. The name, and why no cute photos of her in the hogspital? Because she was just a prickly ball of angryness that hissed & popped every time you made the mistake of looking at her. She’s lived a life has Ann Pacino! Big scars on her nose from previous encounters with…I dunno…but I’m sure whatever it was regrets crossing this angry lady. Anyways she’s left fully healed & with an attitude that will ensure no man nor beast will ever get the better of her🫣The only hog I wished I had chainmail gloves to wear whilst handling. Goodbye Ann Pacino & please stay safe🙏🏻😳😅

I’ve had little PegLeg to the vets today as his poor foot isn’t improving despite the medicated baths etc. The vet wanted to euthanise him because the alternative is to amputate his leg.
I pushed for amputation as A)He’s bright as a button & B)I know hedgehogs can live virtually normally without a back leg(front limb would be a different story). So, he’s back to the vets on Thursday for his operation & I want you all to keep him in your thoughts. I’ll update as soon as I know how it goes🙏🏻🦔🙏🏻

Literally cannot believe how many offers of help I’ve had for the rescue. Mostly(but not all) from complete strangers who want to save our endangered hoggies. Restored my faith in human nature, it really has🦔🥹Here’s Dexter saying thank you very very much to all of you🫶🏻

🦔Hi everyone. I’m looking for donations I’m afraid. It’s the busiest time of year as babies(hoglets) are coming in thick & fast. If anyone could possibly spare any wet cat food(no fish flavours please), dried kitten food, disposable gloves or newspapers it would be much appreciated. I don’t receive any funding & running the rescue single handed can be hard so any help with food etc would be amazing. Thank you in advance🦔🙏🏻

All 5 hoglets are coming along nicely. It’s a challenge with only one working hand to get any photos to share but I’ll try tomorrow as I know you’re desperate to see them again 🫶🏻

I’m sadly lacking in updates as raising the hoglets is not for the weak let me tell ya😅
All 5 are coming along nicely & im pleased to say are lapping at bowls of ‘gloop’ themselves now. This doesn’t let me off the hook with hand feeds tho as I’m closely monitoring their weight & the smaller ones still receive a supplementary syringe feed from yours truly. I haven’t any photos to share but will try to get some later for you. They’re beautiful🥰
