- Behind The Scenes - What’s it really like caring for hoglets? I hear you ask… 🫣

āœ”ļø If you enjoy cleaning up spectacular p**p explosions… you’re in luck! (Bonus points if you get p**ped on too! 🤭)

āœ”ļø Playing detective to work out whether they’ve actually eaten their dinner… or simply redecorated the walls with it.

āœ”ļø Running almost entirely on coffee, determination, and very little sleep. It’s exhausting!

The reality is that every one of these orphaned hoglets simply wouldn’t have survived without being rescued.

Yes, we’re over capacity. Yes, most of my days are spent feeding, cleaning, weighing, medicating, and repeating the whole process again. And yes… I’m completely exhausted.

But I’m also incredibly privileged to be able to give these tiny lives a second chance.

On the longest days, I remind myself of all the little prickles that have grown strong enough to return to the wild. Every messy cage, every sleepless night, and every p**p explosion is a small step towards that moment.

And that makes every single one worth it šŸ¤ŽšŸ¦”

- Freesia - Her babies aren’t so little anymore 🄹

I thought Freesia had two girls and one boy. It turns out I was wrong… she’s actually raising three beautiful girls! Hopefully, they’ll all go on to play their part in helping our endangered hedgehog population.

This week they graduated to a bigger hutch, allowing us to keep a close eye on their next milestone—becoming fully independent eaters.

For now, though, Mamma Freesia is still more than happy to feed them, and with every hutch here currently occupied, they’re enjoying a little extra time together before they eventually go their separate ways back to the wild šŸ¤ŽšŸ¦”

- New Intake - This little prickly ball of delight arrived a few short hours after his brother on Sunday 🄺

He was found out alone, close to the first address we attended earlier in the day for his brother, who had fallen into a pond. He’s not a fan of the servants and does like his picture taken, but that’s ok, we don’t judge šŸ¤ŽšŸ¦”

- New Intake - Meet Ramone 🄺

This handsome little chap arrived at Henbrook Hedgehog Rescue via the vets. We took one hoglet in for treatment and somehow came home with two… a rather unexpected ā€œbuy one, get one freeā€ rescue! 🄰 Townsend Veterinary Centres

Ramone was found after tumbling down a bank into a local stream. Thankfully, he was spotted and brought to safety before he came to any further harm.

He’s a very shy little hedgehog, which is exactly how we like our wild patients to be—it will serve him well when it’s time to return to the wild. He’s also incredibly fussy when it comes to food. Ramone knows exactly what he likes, and he likes what he knows… and according to him, wet food is definitely not on the menu! šŸ¤ŽšŸ¦”

- Tulip - Our special little fighter 🄺

This precious girl continues to amaze us every single day.

Her wound has healed beautifully thanks to quick intervention and stitches at the vets. Now that she has finished her course of antibiotics and fluid therapy, our focus has turned to helping her overcome the heavy burden of internal parasites she’s been battling.

Although her body condition is still incredibly poor, Tulip hasn’t given up—and neither have we.

Every day she keeps fighting, and every day we’ll be right here fighting alongside her.

Keep going, precious girl. We’re all rooting for you šŸ¤ŽšŸ¦”

- Inspection Time - It’s the last Monday of the month, now you’ve met the chief… Meet the apprentice ā˜ŗļø

Gus has recently taken on a junior apprentice called Rusty. Rescued from our local industrial estate, and a long lost twin brother to Gus. He’s still got a few feral tendencies, but he’s an absolute love bug behind doors.

He’s still learning the ropes and hasn’t quite mastered the very important inspection duties that Gus takes so seriously. For now, he’s mostly fascinated by these strange little prickly balls that his servant seems to spend all day fussing over! 🄹

Safe to say, I think he’ll make a fine inspector one day šŸ¾šŸ¤Ž

- New Intake - Meet one of yesterday’s tiny new arrivals 🄺

This little chap was spotted wandering out during the daytime. While his finder was searching for help online, he accidentally tumbled into their garden pond.

Although hedgehogs are surprisingly good swimmers, ponds can be incredibly dangerous. They often struggle to climb back out once they’re in, leaving them exhausted or at risk of drowning. During the hot weather we’re experiencing, they’re also more likely to be searching for water, making these accidents even more common.

Thankfully, this little one was discovered quickly and rescued before it was too late. He’s now safe at Henbrook Hedgehog Rescue, where he can rest, recover and receive all the care he needs šŸ¤ŽšŸ¦”

šŸ’¦ If you have a pond, please consider adding a simple escape route, such as a gently sloping ramp or a piece of wire mesh. It could make all the difference for visiting wildlife.

- Inspection Time - If you’re new here, meet our self-appointed Chief Inspector, Gus šŸˆā€ā¬›šŸ©¶

No piece of equipment at Henbrook Hedgehog Rescue escapes his approval… especially when there’s a new patient involved.

Today’s inspection? The incubator 🧐

A tiny rescue hoglet arrived after falling into a pond. Thankfully, they were found quickly and brought into rescue, but being cold and wet can be life-threatening for such a little one.

After a thorough (and very serious) quality control inspection from Inspector Gus, the incubator has been declared fully operational and is now providing a warm, safe environment while our newest little patient recovers.

As for Gus… he’s accepted payment for his services in the form of treats and head scratches. We wouldn’t dare question his invoice šŸ¾šŸ˜‚

Every rescue starts with the basics—warmth, hydration and supportive care—and we’re hoping this little prickly one will soon be on the road to recovery. Please keep them in your thoughts šŸ¤ŽšŸ¦”

- ā€¼ļø Henbrook Is At Full Capacity ā€¼ļø - Even our emergency incubators are now full of tiny hoglets 🄺

In the last week alone, we’ve welcomed five orphaned hoglets into Henbrook Hedgehog Rescue. Every single space is now occupied.

These two precious little ones were found in our village and simply wouldn’t have survived on their own. Thankfully, they were rescued in time and have taken the very last available space here at Henbrook HQ.

If anyone spots any more of their siblings around Stoke Pound Lane, please let us know as soon as possible. They can safely be reunited in the same incubator, which is so important for their welfare and development.

Please keep an eye out if you’re in the area. Every tiny life matters šŸ¤ŽšŸ¦”

This little one was found out in the day, all alone. Thankfully he was picked up straight away.

Apart from having a few fleas, he’s in good shape and eating well šŸ¤ŽšŸ¦”
