Bye bye Princess, far too long in rescue but with her mani- pedicure done ✔ and not blind as originally told, she went back to the wild in my garden on Wednesday night. Hopefully off to make more babies 🦔🦔🦔🦔

Update time:
Maro has completed his Crenosoma and Capillaria treatments up 83g since last posting, he'll be released this week.
McSnotty continues to grow his new spines, he had a further bath on Saturday to loosen those last stubborn old spines. He has gained 110g and now sits at 999g. As soon as Princess vacates the outdoor hutch he will move in to see what his nest building skills are like.
CJ has finally learnt to forage for his food, he will be off to Dawn's garden hopefully this week.
Hedgie and Princess are guests getting vet reviews today before returning to their respective rescues.

Bye says McGonagol, after an extended over-winter stay he leaves tonight to join his bruv Spot. McGonagol liked to play silly buggers but had some fabulous care with his foster parents C and C.

Rescue season is starting, the helpline is getting on average 2 calls/day. My foster team are superb taking Hedgehogs that have been treated but just need to fatten up before release. This allows me to continue to take the sick / poorly ones that need ITU, Vet review and medications etc.

Thank you all for your continued support, papers for the poobies 💩, donations to the hoggie bank account, and purchases of fundraising items. Maro Itogi, McSnotty, CJ, Princess and Hedgie - our current hotel guests think you are all wonderful 🥳

Each and every Hedgehog would like to thank Bridget for her very generous support to the Hedgehog fund.

The order for the new Hoggie Hospital has been placed - arriving 24.4.25. I am soo excited ❤ and need to stop these silly water drops that keep escaping from my eyes - crying!

It has been an incredibly week, thank you to all who have dropped off much needed newspapers.

"Look at me" says McSnotty! All those baths and coconut oil spa treatments by Nursie are magic. I still have the odd old spine dropping out but I have beautiful new spines growing. I'm loving my grub and nursie has said that as soon as McGonagol vacates the current outdoor maternity hutch I'm moving in as preparation for returning to the wild.

In other news - a weather window for CJ.

I have been a miscarriage of justice and should of been released a long time ago. I am now in a secure monitored area to see how I cope. Night 1 was not good. I couldn't find 1 of the support feeding bowls. I had to rootle through the bar snacks (aka biscuits) to find my favourites. The pot of extra nest material (dry leaves etc) confused me and I tipped the pot over my water bowl.

Night 2 was a bit better. I found my bowl of wet grub and scoffed the lot. I didn't trust the bar snacks and didn't touch them. On a plus point the dry leaves made a welcome addition to my bo***ir.

Tonight I have lodged a protest by sticking my bum out of the entrance to my new accommodation when 'That Woman' decided to bring in what I hope is supper. I snuck a quick sneaky peek after she had left and it isn't where it was last night!!! SHE said I need to go find it!! Seriously thinking about my Trip Advisor review.

McSnotty here .. trying to grow my fan base as well as my spines. I'm feeling soo much better, "Nursie" as I've called her says I don't need a 3rd week of the expensive medicine for my ringworm (At £1.60/day for the medicine x 7 days and two separate week's 9f treatment and £7.60/ bath x 7 occasions) my medicine bill for my ringworm stands at £75.60. Nursie says my 100% coconut oil for my dry skin is as cheap as chips but she is running low and is going to need to get some more on her next holiday. It tickles when she uses the art brush to reach every spot.

Nursie knows I'm feeling better as I now have an appetite and since my last weight update to you guys I have put on 120 grams.

What a difference a week makes!
My current hotel guests are:
McGonagol, back from Hodge Lodge, and continues to play silly buggers losing 34g this week. A quick trip to vets for a brief sedation for his mani/pedicure on his claws.

McSnotty, again back from Hodge Lodge, and a gain of 79g this week. His skin is improving and following vet review antibiotics and pain meds have been stopped. 2nd course (7 days on, 7 off) of Itrafungol completed but he is a 'so and so' and has to be deprived of his favourite biscuits until he eats the small amount of wet with the medicine in! Let's see what this week brings and whether a 3rd week of meds are needed.

Lastly Maro (Itogi) - a very poorly boi who has emerged from hibernation with both Fluke and Capillaria and checked into the Hotel Hattie on Monday. He's out of 'Ken's Den Too' incubator Gillian Lamprey but lost a shocking amount of weight in his first 24 hrs - very touch and go! Today was his first weight gain of 8g after 3 days of weight loss. This morning he decided to sniff and shuffle round for 30 mins after the housekeeper provided room service before heading back to bed. He's such a character 🦔💙

Meet Maro
This months hedgehogs not named by finders will be England 6 Nation players.

Maro is the very first HH to move into "Ken's Den Too". I cannot express how much this means to hedgehog critical care. Heat, humidity control and the ability to nebulise those HH's that need it.

Maro is an impressive adult male weighing 915grams. His injuries are as a result of carrion attack (birds) as he was out in the day. His right eye was pecked but is still intact and he is now on injectable antibiotics. The left side of his nose has also been pecked. We London Road Vet Lowestoft sedated him briefly for a full examination. He is severe dehydrated and had started s/c fluids, s/c antibiotics for his pecked wounds, he has severe mange mite infestation so tomorrow will have topical treatment. Now about to look at his fresh poobie under the 🔬 to see what parasite burden he may have. He is in an incubator to keep him warm, he has a buffet of treats but so far he is not upto eating or drinking hence injecting fluids into him. He is a poorly boi. Thank you for getting him to rescue and I will do all I can. Thank you for ❤

McSnotty is home after his holibob at Hodge Lodge. He continues on a very strict treatment plan for his Ringworm - a bathing regime day 1, a coconut spa treatment day 2, spray/ brush on treatment day 3 and repeat. His Ringworm is sooo bad he is also on antibiotic cover, daily pain meds and an oral medication (7 days on, 7 days off).

His Ringworm is incredibly resistant due to the length of time he has had it untreated prior to his transfer to my Hattie's Hedgehog Rescue.

All treatment plans are in consultation with my superb vet - Dr Mura at London Road Vet Lowestoft without his support and help there wouldn't be Hattie's xx

The Housekeeper is having a holiday before the next influx of hedgehogs in need. Our current guests are being cared for by our foster team and Hodge Lodge.

If you find a hedgehog out in the day, it's not ok so please contact the Hodmedod's Hedgehog Support Line who will help you to find a rescue space or please take to your nearest veterinary practice.

Thank you to the East Coast Pet Rescue followers for their donations of towels, fleecy blankets and newspapers to my hedgehog rescue. I now have oodles of towels so do not need any further donations at the current time. Newspapers always gratefully received so that my foster team have loads for the daily clean outs.

Hi Fans, Ron here. So today has been a big day for little me, 'nanny' has decided that I am now ready for a big boy bedroom and moved me to a blooming BIG bedroom, twice the size of my little apartment. It doesn't have central heating like my old pad but it does have underfloor heating. I can't find the thermostat and nanny has now turned off the heating as I was found having a kip away from my new bedroom. Nanny provided a 'buffet' tonight - a variety of meals for me to sample. I still love my puppy slop but the mousse was also good. Nanny has given me water tonight because in her words I'm now too old for "bitty" whatever that means! P.S - I don't like the deputy maid - she told nanny about how I tidied (trashed) my apartment when nanny was away for a night!

I'm enjoying supper says little Ron

Yum yum says Harry...... I smell grub says Holly

Today Nina came over to drop off a very kind donation to the hoggie fund plus some snacks to keep this foster mumma going through the night time feeding schedule. Both Marie and Toulouse have mastered lapping - YAY ❤ and what a difference it makes. Much better weight gains and they just feed till full, which in turn means longer time between feeds = foster mumma hopefully gets a bit more sleep. Still touch and go for these babies but feeling more hopeful xx

Where's the milk bar mumma
