We are currently experiencing a very mild autumn in the South West, so our current advice re hedgehog hibernation weight is that as long as the hedgehog is behaving normally and not out in the day, thin, sick or injured, then it is best off left to fatten up in the wild.

Bringing healthy hedgehogs in to captivity can do more harm than good as it causes stress, illness and takes up the resources and spaces in rehab that are needed for the sick and poorly hogs.

The best way you can help healthy hogs in the wild at this time of year is by support feeding and keeping your gardens wild/untidy, allowing them to find lots of nesting material, ready for winter. You can find out more ways to help hogs by clicking the link below😊

As well as pets, at Shepton & Wells Vets we try to help our local wild animals too. This female tawny owl was rescued on the land of one our farm clients in late November, hanging precariously by fishing line from a tree above a lake. Brought in immediately to vet Greg on a Monday morning, the owl was checked over, warmed up and then anaesthetised and X-rayed to check for wing fractures. Amazingly, the owl escaped with only swollen soft tissue and some feather damage. With help from one of our patient’s owners who provided a few days of TLC, and then with a great deal of rehab (and repair of feathers) by our friends at West of England Falconry in Newton St Loe, nr Bath, the owl was eventually fit enough to be released in January. All that were involved in the owl’s rescue and her care were present for release on the same land, and it was amazing to see her fly off so gracefully!
