Oh, hedgehogs! I used to rescue and rehabilitate the little prickly guys and I love them.I recommend feeding them meat-flavoured cat food (dry or in jelly, not gravy), cooked chicken chopped up (leg rather than breast, with skin), little bits of cheese, scrambled egg, and chopped peanuts. And water, especially in dry weather. You can set up your feeding station so cats and foxes can't steal the food.If you see any of the following, the hedgehog needs help.* Out in the daytime.* Obvious injury.* Low weight in autumn - they should look like a fat round ball when curled up, not an oval one, and at least 700g in weight.
Was talking to a friend on Monday when I said we never expected to see one as been over twenty years. That night was walking down the garden when something moved- yay!! a hedgy. Last night was walking up the garden when I heard snuffle snuffle crunch crunch!! and there he/she was having supper
