Title: HedgeHogs
Post by: rugbypost on February 23, 2011, 19:42:40
Have just posted a few things on our local recycling site. And there was a message from a local community garden venture asking for a hedgehog now I don,t know nothing about the law on these timid little creatures but i would not thought they can not be treated like a animal in a zoo, and they need a certain diet and needs. IF anyone one can help I will then send a email to the site administer Thanks everyone

we contacted our local animal rescue centre to ask if we could help rehoming any hogs for them,a site inspection took place by them and we were later given two,a male and a female.We had to provide ramps for them to be able to get out of any ponds they may have fallen in,and they said the hogs would have no problem finding their own food. we have since found 4 dead babies  :'(  :'(  :'( ,not sure if the fox got them or what happened to them. Perhaps this group could get in touch with a local rescue too?

Injured wild hedgehog that cannot be released back into wild can be re-homed ...legal
