the exception of Dogs, Cats and Horses which we sadly cannot hold! If you have found an injured animal, then please ring the rescue on: 07434637486 to arrange for the animal to be sent where is best for their wellbeing

Absolutely barbaric behaviour!

I hope someone is able to help the orphaned goslings 😭

Unfortunately we didn't manage our releases today due to the thunderstorms. We did have a Starling admitted who is very unwell after being chased by a Sparrowhawk and knocking himself out on a window. He's had medication for his ailments but is not out of the woods yet!

3 releases tomorrow, weather permitting!

Dehydration. These two images were on my timeline just now, one above the other, and I was struck by the similarity but also the obvious difference to my eye.

These are cropped images from and combined into one image.

The bottom image shows a bright plump and healthy hedgehog eye. This hedgehog is well hydrated.

The top image - can you see the difference there?

It’s not bright and plump, it’s got a ‘hooded’ sad, sleepy, or wary look to it. This is what rescues mean when we describe eyes as ‘sunken’ and what we are asking you to look for.

Bottom eye - normal. Top eye - dehydrated hedgehog.

But, until you’ve seen the difference, it is impossible to know that the top eye isn’t normal... and that’s where I hope this post will help.

The way the eye looks helps us assess the health of the hedgehog you’ve found, over the phone or via messages. It’s also why a photo that includes the eyes is extremely useful to us (though since hedgehogs often ball up, they aren’t often possible). But if you do get a look at the face, the way the eye looks is a huge help to us.
