We spent a lovely evening in St Fillans last night taking about hedgehogs!
Great to see everyone there and we really appreciated all your questions before, during and after the talk. Lots of children who were incredibly attentive.
Huge thanks to Andrea from Aquila Wildlife & Nature for organising this event and holding a fundraiser for HogsCroft. Thanks to all the folk from the village and beyond for your participation - especially enjoyed judging the ‘hedgehog cake’ competition- though they were all amazing!
Great example of a community wanting to make a difference and the best question of the night was
‘What can we all do to help hedgehogs?’

Thank you also to Sandra and Elaine, volunteers at HogsCroft, for giving their time on a very wet Friday night - was an eventful journey but well worthwhile! 😊❤️🦔

An update on Victor

Remember Victor (named Victoria originally - until we found a certain tell tale sign!)
Diane spotted Victor near the Victoria hospital in Kirkcaldy, lying out in the daytime and looking very poorly. Burntisland Hedgehog Haven couldn’t take him at the time and contacted ourselves. Victor was in a very sorry state, he needed a few days to stabilise before going to the vets for assessment. He was sedated and it soon became apparent that his back right leg was severely broken and his foot was non functional. Victor, just a young hedgehog, required an amputation. The operation went ahead and he was soon back in the rescue where we offered him ‘bed rest’ to start with and continued to treat his internal parasites. When we began to increase his exercise he was initially very reluctant to put weight on his left back leg, dragging himself along on his front legs. He is now moving around much better, eating well and gaining weight. He has developed a urine infection which we are treating , sometimes just the stress of being confined can trigger infections. He needs to build more muscle and as soon as the weather is milder we will move him into an outside hutch which should decrease his stress levels. Victor will be released back to the wild eventually and will get much faster on that leg! He’s a lovely lad and very determined!

Holly from Stanley has rescued many hedgehogs and brought them into HogsCroft, she has hedgehog houses and feeding stations in her garden. When this little one was just sitting on her doorstep she knew something was wrong. Holly phoned on Friday morning and explained she was unable to bring Hazel in as she had a medical appointment but she knew how important it was to seek help quickly. Sandra, one of our volunteers, put the blue hedgehog light on her car and collected Hazel!!! Later p**p sample have revealed a lungworm burden. Hazel is feeling a little sorry for herself just now - she doesn’t have a lot of energy and we suspect that further p**p samples will reveal other parasites. Wish this little one well, she’s a poorly girl.

This was the second admission on Wednesday. Heather, who lives in Alloa, spotted this little one on a path when walking their dog. Another small autumn juvenile out in very cold weather and although it was dark this hog needed help. Autumn juvenile is a name given to hoglets who are born late in the year - they leave the nest at 6-8 weeks old at a time of year when their food source is scarce. They have very little time to put on weight before cold icy weather arrives and are very vulnerable. Not only do their small bodies burn up lots of calories to keep them warm, so they lose even more weight, but the internal parasites they normally keep in check, begin to multiply and overwhelm them. Scotland has enjoyed a very warm dry summer and a mild early autumn, but suddenly we have been plunged into very cold conditions. Heather phoned for advice when she spotted this little one - not wanting to interfere if not necessary but equally not wanting to leave the hog at risk. After a discussion I asked her to scoop it up. Heather and her partner drove all the way from Alloa to Inchture. Now named Mavis after her lovely mum, her p**p has revealed a large parasite burden - rescued in the nick of time! Thank you Heather for seeking advice and taking action - and thank you mum Mavis for your kind donation and your love for hedgehogs. Early days but little Mavis is doing okay!

Hello all
We are really short of large blue rolls and sterilising fluid as well as royal canin foods - like the ones in the photos. We’ve deliberately not attached any wishlist as these items can often be purchased much cheaper elsewhere but with spending so much on our new rescue our funds are very low just now.

Can you help?
