Hello guys,
I have numerous hedgehogs that come every night to feed at my feeding station. I also have adult female that's already in hibernation in my shed. About a week ago I got 2 tiny hogs appeared. They look very young. They have been coming every night & feeding so they look & act healthy enough. I'm just getting anxious now as the weather getting colder. I also have 4 hedgehog homes in my garden & it does look like 1 of the hogs is sleeping in one.
Please any help is appreciated. I obviously don't want to get involved if I don't have to. I'm just scared that they will go to sleep & not wake up. I also have never even held 1 before!
Thanks...
Hi Jojo
You don't say where you are but you could try looking on here to see if there is anyone in your area to give you help/advice https://helpwildlife.co.uk/map/ or try googling hedgehog rescue, then try the RSPCA as a last resort.
There is also Tiggywinkles for advice who say they should be around 600g to hibernate, to weigh them you will need garden gloves or a towel to avoid the spines, they will naturally curl up into a ball to be picked up if you want to weigh them.
