Haxby Hedgehog Hospital

06/10/2025

We are closing to new admissions for the rest of 2025.

Due to family health issues and increased work commitments I am not able to take in any more hedgehogs this year. If you see one that needs help please visit www.yorkshirehedgehogs.co.uk for other nearby rescues.

DO YOU currently FILM and FEED your local hedgehogs?? 🦔

Want to know how you can help to contribute towards their conservation?

Interested in getting involved with science research?

If so we would love to hear from you!

Hogs on Film (HOF) is a citizen science project. We recruit ordinary members of the public who film and feed hedgehogs and turn their passion into data 🤓
Each month we hold a 'study week' where you can head to our website , upload your video footage and complete a survey detailing the nights events 🥰 This data helps us to understand hedgehog behavior patterns, the social dynamics of urban animals, how they are using our gardens and what they are eating.

This information will help us to identify risk areas, and build up data that is currently unknown to research!

Taking part is simple, just head to our website www.hogsonfilm.co.uk to sign up and submit your surveys and video footage. 🐾🦔

Turn your hedgehog hobby into research and become a HOF citizen scientist! 🦔🐌🪱🐾

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated via the GoFundMe! We have raised a brilliant£175 so far and I have just ordered a countertop fridge to help keep food and meds cold. If you can support with a donation towards the mother and hoglet units, it would be hugely appreciated.

Is the lady who brought two hedgehogs to me, one day after another, around? I’m struggling to find the right message to let you know one is ready for release 😊

Did you know...?
Lawns provide a home for beetles, other insects & worms - which can all attract other like !

So let the grass grow long, ditch the chemicals & wait for the wildlife to arrive!

Good news for laidback gardeners!
