Today’s calls were all hedgehogs, first a call from braunton to say they had found a hedgehog caught up in the netting around the cricket grounds and had cut it out from being stuck, they said they had let it go, I said please try and find it as it needs to go to the vets to check for constriction injuries.
It was taken to charter vets and the mi-night team gassed it down to check for injuries.
Photo shows ‘Freddie Flintoffs’ bruising due to being caught, the names of the hedgehogs were given my a member of the night team.
Second call a hedgehog with maggots (no photo) the finders called me and I said straight to charter vets please. But this one was covered in maggots and the kindest thing was to put it to sleep, maggots are hard to get rid of and when they start eating the hedgehog alive.
Another hedgehog was taken to the vets yesterday, this one was found in Combe Martin, and has one eye missing, it stayed over night at the vets, this one was named ‘one eyed Willie’ yes named by the vet nurse.
Another call from harracott about a hedgehog who had been hit, the finders called me and whisked this one to the vets, sadly it was PTS for welfare reasons.
Please remember if you have netting in the garden leave room for hedgehogs to move freely and not get tangled up in it.

Please bare with at the moment as I do have family problems and they come first, if no reply call littlest wildlife hotel or your local vet.

Thank you to the finders for stopping and rescuing these little ones. And bringing them to me, they are now on a heat pad along with food and water,

‼️Please slow down for wildlife ‼️

And today I have had a call from Yeo valley school about a hedgehog out in day light who is dehydrated too

Today a hedgehog was delivered to my door, from Barbrook,it’s severely dehydrated and covered in ticks and a very large ear, and some fleas, this is my first hedgehog that has ever had fleas. My concern was this hedgehog needs more help than I can give it.

I could not see its eyes due to ticks so a quick call to mi-night vets,
and a trip there to see the lovely receptionist Sharon. I said it needs gassing down to look at it.

When the vet gassed it down she has removed lots of tiny ticks from this young man, and close inspection he is missing a tooth,also said it was staying over night due to dehydration and to feed it up, and keep a close eye on him.

Please remember to put lots of water out for hedgehogs and other wildlife. They get thirsty as well,
