It's that time of year again folks - where we need to be extra vigilant about these little ones.
If you see a young hedgehog out and about on it's own, especially in the day time, please get some advice.
Sometimes these little ones are too small to survive the winter and need some human help, so if you have one in your garden please offer it some food:
Cat/dog biscuits, wet food and hedgehog specific food (wet and dry) are all great things to feed hedgehogs. Hogs can be fussy though, so putting out a few different types of food is recommended. And despite the famous "bread and milk" belief, you should NEVER feed bread and milk to a hedgehog. They are lactose intolerant so milk will make them ill!
If you find a youngster that weighs under 300 grams, it needs to go to rescue or sadly it won't survive.
Luckily we have some great Hedgehog Helpers on our doorstep - such as the Suffolk Hedgehog Hospital.
They are always on hand to offer advice on 07899 490816.
The work that these rescues undertake is invaluable, and very underfunded.
PLEASE DONATE WHERE YOU CAN and 100% of your donation goes towards the care of these sick and underweight spikey little garden savers.
