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.

First admission of the day awful damage from a strimmer
Second was a tiny 92g full of fly strike. It was only when I had her cleaned up I thought to take a picture. The tea towels are all the strike that was removed. Then it was sub cut fluids for her and into the incubator to warm up.
One hour later Hetty was up and moving so had some warm rehydration fluids from a syringe. Back to bed with a few biscuits just incase she fancies a snack
Next in was Rebel another very cold girl but almost 100g heavier than Hetty but not going to say no to a bit of rehydration and emeraid.
No sooner settled when Elsie came in, a little bigger at 350g but worryingly out in the day Just by chance another member of the team was on hand, delivering Betty for release so Elsie has now occupied Pippa’s empty cage.
Betty’s finder came to pick her up for release as Hetty was having a feed and then just as she was finishing up and having a wash Charley arrived very undernourished with a sore foot. He is now tucking into a bowl of biscuits with some pate on the side should he want it.
Let’s hope that’s it for the day.

Sometimes one needs just a little help when the appetite has gone

THIS IS A PLEA FOR HELP
After our successful christmas sales last year we have been invited to even more fund raising events this year.
To do this we need to increase the amount of hedgehog related crafts we make, to do that we need volunteer crafters who can help us.
If you are interested in helping to make things and would like patterns, wool, material or advice, support or a demonstration on how to make something then please ask Ann on 07722483845.
Ideas of things we need help making:
Tote bags/Rucksacks/ Christmas boots/Glitter wool hedgehogs/ Baubles - decoupage and other types/ Felted hedgehogs/ key rings/ wooden hedgehogs/ wreaths/ pinecone hedgehogs, just to name some.
If you can sew but not knit or knit but not sew then we can find you jobs and it's not a problem.
We would love to hear from you and invite you too our occasional crafting sessions.
Without fund raising we can't continue the work we do to the extent we do it.

Tonight sees the release of Gnasher who wasn’t at all impressed at having his photograph taken 🤣. Gnasher came into rescue on the 14 August weighing 179g after being found in Philip and Nancy’s garden during the morning. Samples showed he had a high burden of fluke, following treatment he was returned to his finders garden weighing 655g. Thank you Philip and Nancy for your very generous donation this will help buy much needed items for the hedgehogs in care.

In memory of Damon Radley.

When we are faced with unimaginable sorrow there is a light somewhere. We were fortunate to be shown that light today.

Following the tragic passing of their very close friend, Damon Radley, we were visited this morning by Robert Flake and the Hewitt family, David, Alison, Nina and Maya.

They delivered the most amazing amount of items selected from our wish list in memory of Damon.

The number of items they have donated is truly amazing and we are so grateful to them for their kind gesture.

This week saw the release of Vicky, Rosie and Henri.

Vicky was found out in the street late afternoon on 24 July weighing 199g. Samples didn’t show any internal parasites so after being looked after until release weight she was released into one of our rescue gardens as she couldn’t return to where she was found.

Henri was found out on his own on 20 June weighing just 148g. Following treatment for 3 different internal parasites, he was finally released weighing 590g

Rosie was found sat on a driveway early afternoon on 15 July weighing 123g. Following treatment for Fluke she was released weighing 538g. As neither Henri or Rosie could be returned to where they were found, they were released together in another of our rescue gardens where they will be support fed.
