Exploring his new surroundings.
I have been very busy hand rearing litters of hoglets. The last litter was four, two little boys and 2 little girls they were doing great getting to around 70g from the 40g arrival weight. They were full of fly eggs. Suddenly one of them decided he wasn’t going to gain weight any more! He hardly ate, I was literally force feeding him to keep him alive. For the last couple of weeks he remained around 70g to 80g. Eventually he has started lapping watery puppy mousse and drinking formula again by himself. He now weighs 145g up from 76g on 10th! This is him this morning with one of his siblings next to him who weighs 208g! Every year there is a special hoglet that just makes its way into my heart. This year is Waffles turn ❤️
The blackbirds usually clean up what's left of the hedgehog food every morning, either this blackbird was early or the hedgehog was late. Around 5.50am.
Hoglets having fun!
In here while their boxes are getting cleaned.
Hoglets! Several litters have arrived in rescue. Some having to be syringe fed formula every two hours…. Some doing better than others and huge differences in sizes within a litter. One had to be put to sleep as it had a hernia. Some photos of a few of them. The smallest on arrival has been 30g and largest 160g.
Does anyone in/around Pickering have any soft baby blankets they don’t need?
Roger Update
Roger has put n 50g the last few days. I am so pleased. Still has meds to complete but he is going in the right direction now. He has taken a liking to some Pate food that Val sent him. We don’t usually have this food in the rescue and it comes in tiny tins. If you would like to send Roger some it is “Purina Gourmet Gold Pate”.
Petal's been released back into the wild tonight. Stay safe little one 🥰🦔 xx
A it of a spat!
They can't get at the food in the Wren feeder thankfully!
Somethng to brighten up a dreary morning.
These are the two I was telling you about Deryn, both eating lots at the moment.
In April 22 we were brought a 300g hoglet that had an injured leg. Some of you might remember her, she was called Midget. She was such a sweet hoglet and responded well to her treatment and bandaging of her leg. She was released back into her garden where she was found and still lives there. She has come back to rescue today for testing as she sounds as though she has a chest infection. Midget has had hoglets this year and this is a clip of one of them moving a cat out of the way so it can get in the feeding station.
Hungry Hogs
Some just can’t wait!
