out for a nice dry sunny morning walk this morning when my husband spots a little ball of prickles on the grass. Turns out it is the young hedgehog that comes round to feed every night in our garden! We decided to take them in and keep them warm and contact a rescue. The local ones were unfortunately full or very busy (as expected this time of year) however Prickles hedgehog rescue were brilliant they gave some good advice and even offered to take her in over winter. After we dropped them off turns out it is a little girl, fingers crossed she survives winter and we can pick her back up and release her back into the wild in the village.

Feeding is somewhat a bone of contention I have been reading to only offer water prior to vet or rehabber assessment which seems sound if Hoggie can be seen quickly ... I fed mine as it seemed very hungry but went rapidly downhill after so maybe trying to digest food was a step too far ... fastest possible help & quickly applied meds seems to be their only chance imo, but if having to overnight then warmth & water are essential!
