The Hogsprickle Wildlife Carers - Wildlife advice and rehabilitation
💜All Life Requires Hydration💜
While it's nice to see the sunshine and feel the warmth we need to think of the animals and wildlife around us.
Unlike us they can't turn on a tap, so it's up to us to help them stay hydrated in the summer sun.
We've had a few calls about hedgehogs seen in gardens during the day, they may be females out foraging for food and if feeding hoglets they absolutely need to find fresh water.
Birds need to bathe to keep their feathers in good condition, and of course the bees and insects need water too.
A few shallow bowls of water in shady areas around the garden is just what they need.
Put pebbles in flat dishes to help bees, insects drink without falling in and drowning.
Stay safe in the sun and stay hydrated
