Wrens Hill Hedgehog Rescue

05/09/2024

Elephant came in like this…probably one of the most swollen whole legs I’ve ever seen…I won’t show you what I had to do to it 🤢🤢

Booked in for vet assessment and possible amputation, but so far dosed up on meds ☹️

03/09/2024

Couple of the new arrivals.
Lacey came in with huge lacerations and puncture wounds, booked into the vets for a stitch up 🙏🏽

These 2 babies came in with mum (photo only taken when moving from what they were transported in to the hutch) sadly the nest had been disturbed and 2 babies had already passed away. Mum appears to have kept nursing and supporting these 2 so all fingers crossed 🤞

13/08/2024

Pretty please we’re running super low on cat food, wet and dry! Would be super grateful for any donations 🙏🏽

Little Bradley came in during Thorne Hedgehog Rescue C.I.C fundraiser on Saturday. Only 117g 🥺

06/08/2024

Wobble is in, blind as a bat. One eyeball already necrotic and needing removing, the other facing completely the wrong way. No wonder he was walking in circles in faversham town centre 😔

31/07/2024

Then we had Trevor, at 102g found with something random (still unexplained) in his mouth. This summer has been absolutely horrendous for babies, so so dry, no water and no food. PLEASE PLEASE leave cat biscuits out for your hogs, if for whatever reason you can’t leave cat biscuits definitely leave a dish of water!!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

31/07/2024

Hey Cherry 🍒 another intake only 168g 🙏🏽

26/07/2024

Pretty please if anyone’s able we desperately need more f10 to treat the flystrike and maggoty hogs coming in. Also any other items from our Amazon wishlist marked high or highest we could really use more of! 🙏🏽
Also if anyone has an unused small animal carrier, it would be massively helpful!

Thank you 🥰

26/07/2024

Another intake today. As luck would have it, my daughter and I were at Quex for a day out when I got a call from 5 mins down the road 😊 little lad (214g) was picked up found down a storm drain but smothered in maggots and flystrike 🤢 demaggoting commence 🙏🏽

26/07/2024

Another massive thank you to Gaye Brocks Banyard and Help for Hedgehog Heroes 🥰 another fantastic donation 🙏🏽 Reg the hedge is now also an inpatient again with possible issues with his hips. Currently on pain meds and antibiotics ready to be assessed properly when he’s more comfortable 🙏🏽

25/07/2024

Quick update on a couple of recents. Poor phoenix was found with an injury to her back foot, and her eyeball popped out 🤢

Vets app booked in but so far doing well on meds and antibiotics 🙏🏽

And this little rabbit was brought in by a cat, had a slight wound to the ear but after a course of antibiotics was successfully released 😊

21/07/2024

Where do I start with Egbert 😂 he lives with me permanently. Blind as a bat, out all day long. I got home yesterday and this is how I found him. I’d cleaned out the rescue pet mice in the morning, and forgotten to put the bag of sawdust straight in the green bin, he’d clawed his way in and made himself very at home 😂 turfed him out and he ran off annoyed.

He is the reason my garden is trashed 😂

18/07/2024

Roxann and I want to say a huge thank you to Gaye Brocks Banyard and the bikers for raising an amazing £360!!!! 😱 so so grateful thank you so so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

16/07/2024

Apologies for delays in replies, messages, updates etc!! It’s not on purpose but really juggling a lot at the moment 😬 working 2 jobs 7 days a week, a sick cat, numerous rescue pets and running the rescue! So please bear with, it’s not deliberate 😂

This little one in today from my old house, 440g but skinny, out in the day so awaiting a 💩 sample. Little bastard bit me though 😂 so good at least we have some fight! Wren II

Braille aka Nettle continuing to do well now under the care of Thorne Hedgehog Rescue C.I.C 🙏🏽

12/07/2024

Just kidding!!!! 😱

Little 🦔hog this morning, 114g male, covered in pustulated bite marks, lost half a nostril, bitten round a**l sphincter absolutely collapsed, listened for heart beat for about a minute, un responsive, couldn’t hear anything, its gums were white pale , genuinely thought it was dead, but thought I would treat it for hypothermia, shock, antibiotics, inflacam etc took, popped it in incubator ,took Rosie to her mates 50 minutes away , got back , now look 👀

12/07/2024

This little one came into Roxann this morning, by all accounts we’d passed away en route…only 114g 💔

11/07/2024

Right lotsa hogs to catch up on. First lot with Roxann who’s been dealt a pretty crap hand this week, so giving her a bit of love ❤️

“ Hedgy” came in at 966g after being got by a dog, sadly despite not having puncture wounds to his outer body, he passed away from what was discovered to be a very very deep puncture wound to his chest.

Plato male big male should be over kilo but is 760g, acutely ill with lungworm and pneumonia, respiratory distress , he made it through one night in ICU with round the clock nursing, as cannot breathe , usual treatments added bisolvon/olbas oil and Lincomycin, unable to eat as so congested with mucous.. so syringe feeding little and often, even that’s a trauma for him.. sadly he passed yesterday also 😔

“Eden “ male , found in Eden Village , was brought to me 8am this morning by Gaye Brocks Banyard , baby 207g has sadly passed away puncture wounds bilateral chest and one huge one through lumbar spine

Teeny Tenny now has a friend with little Bubba and the company together has finally encouraged her to start eating 🥳

Brook was in after being found looking skinny in the morning, we have the usual roundworm and lungworm.

And without a photo lil spritz is doing fantastically 🥳

01/07/2024

All sorted 🙏🏽

Anyone able to collect a hog from Minster and deliver to faversham please! 🙏🏽

29/06/2024

Heeeeeey 🥰😍

28/06/2024

In comes Spikey (first 2 pics) and Johnny.

Spikey was found by a nice family after being poked with sticks by a bunch of laughing kids in the gutter beside the road 😡

Johnny is in for 💩 tests because despite looking pretty well rounded he’s been seen out in the day for the last week or 2 so we’ll see what’s up.

27/06/2024

In comes teeny Tenny found alone in a garden near an already deceased sibling ☹️

And poorly Sugar, haven’t quite worked out the exact cause of the back leg issues, so will be off to the vets. But dosed up on pain meds and fluids for tonight 🙏🏽

25/06/2024

In comes Spritz at a whopping 126g. Cutie pie was found wondering around all alone in the sun. At this age dehydration can kill so quickly, and the flies as usual show no mercy. So he’s tucked up with a belly full of puppy mousse mixed with formula 😊

22/06/2024

Another day, more hoggies.

Firstly Zombie who’s face is basically gone, maggots, flystrike, and a huuuuge laceration to the jaw. Vets app asap to gas down and have a proper look and see if we can heal 🤞

Jay came into Roxann with both back legs not working. Awful necrotic open fracture to at least one leg, but most possibly both. Sadly for Jay it’s going to be a one way ticket to the vets to have confirmation and be pts 😔 for tonight we’re comfortably medicated and warm

11/06/2024

Little Dippy in from Columbines Wildlife Care. He’s so skinny ☹️ he’s settled, warm and medicated. Fingers crossed he’s got enough strength to get through the night 🤞

09/06/2024

Along came Polly. The lovely finder came across her collapsed on the decking. She’s got mites, this photo doesn’t do justice but she’s completely flat 😔 she’s begun all her fluids and meds, she’s warm and comfortable so all we can do now is cross our fingers 🤞

01/06/2024

Roxann and I are running low on a few supplies and would be hugely appreciative if anyone can help 🙏🏽
