Just imagine Pam Ayres voice as you read it

In Defence of Hedgehogs
~~~~~~

I am very fond of hedgehogs
Which makes me want to say,
That I am struck with wonder,
How there’s any left today,
For each mornning as I travel
And no short distance that,
All I see are hedgehogs,
Squashed. And dead. And flat.

Now, hedgehogs are not clever,
No, hedgehogs are quite dim,
And when he sees your headlamps,
Well, it dont occur to him,
That the very wisest thing to do
Is up and run away,
No! he curls up in a stupid ball,
And no doubt starts to prey.

Well, motor cars do travel
At a most alarming rate,
And by lunch time you sees him,
It is very much too late,
And thus he gets a-squasho’d,
Unrecorded but for me,
With me pen and paper,
Sittin’ in a tree.

It is statistically proven,
In chapter and in verse,
That in a car and hedgehog fight,
The hedgehog comes off worse,
When whistlin’ down your prop shaft,
And bouncin’ down your diff,
His coat of nice brown prickles
Is not effect-iff.

A hedgehog cannot make you laugh,
Whistle, dance or sing,
And he ain’t much to look at,
And he dont make anything,
and in amongst his prickles,
There’s fleas and bugs and that,
But there aint no need to leave him,
Squashred. And dead. And flat.

Oh spare a thought for hedgehogs,
Spare a thought for me,
Spare a thought for heedgehogs,
As you drink your cup of tea,
Spare a thought for heedgehogs,
Hoverin’ on the brinkt,
Spare a thought for hedgehogs,
Lest they become extinct.

Calling for people in the Bridlington, Driffield, Beverley and surrounding areas.

As we are attending more training courses and our volunteers are becoming more experienced we are able to offer more of our cages as medical care cages. This means we are now experiencing a shortage of foster cages and foster people.
If you think you would be able to help you will need a garage that isn't used for vehicles or an outhouse or shed. They must have a window and electricity and suitable shelving for cages to be put on. We will provide all the equipment you will need and are a very friendly bunch of people.
Training will be given and there is a lot of support at all times.
If you would like to talk about this please ring 07722483845 and Ann will be happy to explain things.

How about a look inside the Hutton Hog House
Each morning each cage is emptied, disinfected, made up again with fresh water and biscuits. Nest boxes are checked to make sure they are clean (some hedgehogs think they are en-suite) if not they are given clean ones with fresh bedding.
Each hedgehog is checked for weight, what they have eaten, poo samples may be taken for looking at under the microscope. Medication and fluids given if needed and an all round visual monitoring.
Equipment used and gloves are sanatised between each hog.
This morning there were 11 hogs in.
At the end there are housekeeping jobs like disinfection of all surfaces, sweeping the floor setting up for any admissions then washing and washing up.
