‼️🦔‼️STRIMMER INJURY‼️🦔‼️
‼️PLEASE ALWAYS CHECK FOR HEDGEHOGS WHEN USING ANY GARDEN MACHINERY‼️
I just cant believe I am posting this, but 3 nights ago we received our first strimmer injury of the year from Kirmington. A lady spotted the injured hedgehog whilst walking her dog, and straight away she picked it up, took it home, called me for advice and brought it here. The hedgehog had a 3" deep severe wound across her neck which smelt awful, along with an injury to her leg, which were both highly infected and had been for quite a while.

The very poorly hedgehog was taken to the Blue Cross where their vet advised that due to how severe and deeply infected the leg injury was, the kindest thing was to humanely put her to sleep. You can see from the photos of her neck wound that her spikes have been cut and are blunt from the strimmer, but you can't see that the wound is long, deep, has a lot of puss in it and crusty.

Other rescues throughout the country are also receiving strimmer injuries, which is always heartbreaking and could easily be avoided if people would only check before they used a strimmer. Please check areas very carefully before putting your strimmer into overgrown areas. Hedgehogs make their nests in the undergrowth and areas that have long overgrown grass, brambles, shrubs, leafy, pampas grass etc and they can't easily be seen. A hedgehogs natural defence is to curl up into a ball, they will NOT run away.

Many hedgehogs come to us each year with injuries from strimmers: legs, feet and noses strimmed off and severe lacerations to the face and body. The person that strimmed this little girl didn't check for sleeping hedgehogs and she would have been in excruciating pain for quite some time before she was eventually found struggling.

More care must be taken by people who use strimmers, lawnmowers and hedge cutters, every year hundreds of hedgehogs are seriously injured or killed by garden machinery.

Not all hedgehogs hibernate so please do keep putting food and water out.
Even ones that do hibernate can have periods of arousal where they will have a quick drink and bite to eat so it is incredibly important to carry on supporting them.

All good pet shops and garden centres will stock Brambles Hedgehog Foods and if you want to have a look at some of our stockists on our web site click the link 😀

As always, Wildlife Rescues are over-worked and over-run with patients so if you can help them out in a way please do so.

UPDATE: Sorted
UPDATE: There is a lady that can transport to Wragby tonight. Can anyone transport to Louth from Wragby at all?
It would be really appreciated as the hedgehog doesnt look too well. Thank you.
❤️🦔❤️TRANSPORT APPEAL LINCOLN❤️🦔❤️
‼️PLEASE SHARE‼️
Anyone coming home from Lincoln that could pick up a hedgehog from Carholme Road, near the Grandstand, and bring to Charlie's Hedgehog Care in Holton Le Clay please. Or even meet me in Louth after 7pm.
Laura was walking along the river Witham and found this little one nestled in the grass. After contacting me she scooped him up and took him home. Could well have been washed out of its nest as the river is flooded. A very lucky hedgehog but needs to come into rescue.
Please text or call 07887835734 if you can help us. Address will be given to collector.
Thank you, Kerry.

I love Christmas in the Wildwood by Angie, The Glittering Fox.

What wildlife do you have visiting your garden?
Please do feed all wildlife and put water out for them too. The weather is very mild and there are many hedgehogs visiting gardens at night
Are you continuing to put food and water out for them? I do hope so 🙏
