It's getting crowded in our hedgehog hostel! If you can help us find a premises in or near Chatteris, we'd be delighted! (filmed in November by Martin John)
Monkey is a little nervous, but we've taken good care of him. He also likes to explore! We give him a hug and check his spines are healthy.

Cinnamon and Nutmeg are two little hedgehogs. Cinnamon is very curious, and Nutmeg needs a little encouragement.
Heather shows us every hedgehog has a "magic button on the back" - tickle it and they might open up.

π₯πThis bonfire night, please 1οΈβ£π STOP, 2οΈβ£π MOVE, 3οΈβ£β
CHECK
1οΈβ£π STOP β Do you need to have a bonfire this year? Can you attend a community event, or mark the occasion in a different, more wildlife-friendly way? The fewer bonfires there are, the fewer wildlife casualties there are too.
2οΈβ£π MOVE β if you do decide to have a bonfire, always build it on the day you plan to light it. Move all accumulated materials to a new site as hedgehogs π¦ and other wildlife π or pets may be hiding inside. πββ¬
3οΈβ£β
CHECK β before lighting from one side, check the entire bonfire pile carefully for wildlife π and pets πββ¬. Shining a torch inside the pile, π¦ gently lift each section with a pole or broom. π§Ή Never use a spade or fork as these can cause great harm. Listen for the huffing sound of a hedgehog which has been disturbed. π¦
Please share this with your friends to keep our wildlife safe on bonfire night.
