To everyone who came and supported at the RSPCA East Norfolk Branch One Fun Day. I did sell a few bits so not a wasted day. Thank you to a lovely neighbour of Dawn's who gave a financial donation also to the rescue.xx

It was fabulous to welcome Bridget this morning for a coffee, a catch up and a little tour of the new Hogspital. Bridget brought this super hoghouse warming gift that will give the hoglets and poorly adult hogs the very best possible chance. Thank you Bridget. Another lady who is a Fairy Hogmother ###

And not forgetting Henry who has a tummy bug but getting better!

So currently Hattie's Hedgehog Rescue has 2 adults ( Arnold and Capston), 1 young hedgehog (Henry), 1 moody teenager (Pippin), 1 toddler (Sassy) and has tried hand rearing 5 neonates this week!

Thank you all for your continued support, especially my supportive husband David Morris ❤

Finally, Pippin and Sassy. 3-4 week old babies that having hand reared them 2 hourly are now bloomin toddlers but I think Pippin is now a moody teenager!

Pippin has developed into a hissy/huffy teenager. Tells his adopted sister Sassy to leave him alone and it is likely that Pippin will move into solo bedroom to continue to adulthood. Now looking for a cuddly for Sassy to snuggle with because her "bruv" ain't interested.

Yes, my recent posts have been neonatal bias but behind those 2 hourly hand feeds the rest of the gang have also had 100% attention.

I (Nursie/Nannie) took a few minutes out this afternoon for 'me time'. Note to self, a quick lie down on a sunlounger = snooze time.

Next up - Capston!
This hoggie closed the rescue temporarily as we thought initially he might have a virus.
A vet review today, again under sedation with 2 x-rays, as he drags his left hind leg when mobilising.

His x-rays show a narrower joint space between the last lumbar vertebrae and sacrum, confirmed by Hannah Tombes, a vet who runs her own HH rescue. So it is highly likely that Capston has a trapped nerve. A further week of pain meds then if still unchanged, darling Capston will be PTS as he will not be releasable because dragging his leg will cause damage, then infection and eventually sepsis.

So tonights update is about all of the other hoggies here at Hattie's Hedgehog Rescue.

Arnold the amputee had a vet review today. He's going bonkers in his bedroom and wants out. Under sedation we reviewed his wound site. 50% has healed well but 50% is showing signs of infection, most likely caused by Arnold giving his wound a lick or 2.

HOW can you put a "Cone of Shame" on a hedgehog to stop him. A further week of antibiotics but a review in 5 days for debridement and re-suture if needed.

Gonna move Arnold to the maternity hutch to see if this is less stressful for him. This boi wants OUT.

Hattie's Hedgehog Rescue will be here fundraising for the rescue. There will be hedgehog gifts and a tombola. Come along...

I have a lovely follower called Kathy 💖. Kathy is very crafty and creative and has made some fabulous hedgehog themed gift ideas for Hattie's Hedgehog Rescue to sell to raise our vital funds.

Yesterday the lovely Kathy dropped off these gifts along with some Hills Scientific Mum and Kitten mousse, RC biscuits and a pack of puppy pads along with newspapers. The hoggies are so lucky having this Fairy Hogmother. Thank you Kathy 🦔

Last night sadly Po passed away, however this morning I have taken over the care of two 19g neonates (approx 2 days old) from Melanie Bracey. No need for both of us getting up every 2 hours overnight. 1 is marked on Green so Dipsy it is! Just thinking on a name for the other little girl. She is marked purple so should be Tinkywinky 2?
