I'm so sad to hear that the wonderful Fudge is no longer with us, after a short illness 😢
He was a fab little character and I loved hanging out with him. Thanks Fudge for the love, especially in April when I needed it most, you really minded me then and not the other way round. Rest easy sweet boy we'll miss you 😢💔

Can anyone help? Please only reply to her if you pass the requirements 🦔 🦔🦔💜

⛔️ENCLOSED GARDEN and want to help??⛔️

I'm currently looking for enclosed gardens for a number of disabled hedgehogs that I have in care. These hedgehogs have a disability that compromises their ability to survive completely independently in the wild but not enough to warrant ending their lives. You would be fostering them for the rescue and all retention licences, if granted, will be held by the rescue.

Please get in touch if you would be willing to take on a hedgehog such as this but ONLY if you meet these strict requirements ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Requirements:

🦔100% enclosed gardens ie. Walled, fenced etc. No gaps, open areas, large gates etc. 100% enclosed!! I can't stress this enough!! ...
🦔LARGE gardens, i.e., not standard housing estates
🦔PLENTY of cover, ie. Hedges, compost heaps etc.
🦔no ponds, no dogs (no exceptions)
🦔nobody thinking they are pets. They aren't. You will probably never see them.
🦔willingness to supplement feed every evening, 365 days a year.
🦔absolutely no use of rodenticides, pesticides etc (goes without saying)
🦔nobody looking for pest controllers-slugs and snails make up about 2% of their diets. Ie. They don't eat slugs and snails.
🦔no "allotment" type situations for above reason.
🦔nobody that thinks it's ok to bring them into schools or "show and tell" type situations (goes without saying, but...)

Even with all that, I will get hundreds of messages from people living in housing estates with dogs, fake grass and the obigatory trampoline. pls don't be offended when you don't receive a reply. I simply don't have the time 😪

There you go, ive done my best to describe what's needed.

If you feel like you are one of those special people that can provide the perfect retirement sanctuary for hedgehog that needs a little extra care then please get in touch with pictures (more than one) and rough dimensions of the purposed area.

Again, please do not be offended if you don't get a reply. Im one person with 60 odd hedgehogs in care. If your area meets the above criteria you WILL get a response.

HOME CHECKS WILL APPLY TO ALL POTENTIAL SITES.

thanks so much, Yvonne x
