Being a petless household now, I saw a fox in the garden the other evening and think it made off with a fatball off the bird feeder that a squirrel had dislodged.
Thinking it must be hungry, the soft side of me put a dish of catfood out (a couple of remaining pouches I had for hedgehogs).
I took a peep behind the curtain just now and there's a baby hedgehog snaffling away!
Had a search and it seems they have to be about 220gms to survive the winter and I don't think it's that big. Any help appreaciated.
Poor little thing. There are some FAQ's on here about keeping them warm and feeding and a list of volunteers across the UK who are carers.
