On Monday Ian and Karyn Cameron brought this little one into the rescue. They had found him the day before close to their home in Tayport. Cracker has lots of internal parasites and although doing better now after a reasonably settled first night he crashed on Wednesday and gave cause for concern, he’s picked up again now and doing better. He’s not been too keen to eat but having tried a variety of different foods we’ve finally hit on his favourite - some puppy mousse mixed with a ‘complete food’ and some rehydration fluids seems to hit the spot! Sometimes we just have to keep trying different concoctions until we find the right one - Cracker - who is a feisty little man despite being poorly - also has very expensive tastes!!! We don’t care one little bit as long as this little chap keeps eating - we manage to sneak some medicine into his food too and, he is slowly improving.
Please phone us the minute you find a hedgehog in need - the ones coming in lately have all been very poorly and the sooner we can stabilise them and start treatment the better.
