The Stockton Hedgehog Shed A small scale, self funding rescue doing its bit for our endangered spikey friends

One of my last releases. Lovely to see her making use of the new feeding station. Thanks to Nicola for looking after her back in the wild 😊

It's a global campaign to make towns and urban areas a nicer place for humans and nature alike.

A wild corner of garden is the perfect way of creating an ideal habitat to encourage more biodiversity into our towns...

The Future Is Unmown

Not a post I thought I'd be making.
Due to personal circumstances, I'm afraid I have to close the doors of the rescue. I'm moving out of the area so can't continue my work here. It's been exciting, hard work, heartbreaking, fulfilling and everything in-between for the past 4 years. I've had the pleasure of getting to know some fabulous rehabbers, fosterers and hog lovers along the way. I have made some good friends and will be sad to say goodbye.
I want to thank everyone who has helped me along the way, everyone who has donated money and food and those who have made things to raise money.
I especially want to thank Liz, my 2nd in command and wish her all the best on her journey with caring for hogs in the future.
Money raised during the go fund me will be shared with other local hog rescues/fosters, as will my supplies.
If you have a hog in need in the Stockton area, please contact Cleveland Hedgehog Preservation Society who will have contact numbers of other rescues.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT ❤️🦔🦔❤️ Carole

Not just a problem for hogs, but all wildlife.

This is little Stainsby. Not a great start. Only 192g and found himself entangled in garden netting that was on the ground. It was wrapped so tight around his leg that it became very swollen (as you can see from the swollen foot). Now warming up and getting hydrated after some meds. Hopefully no lasting damage but it's important to monitor for a few days. Please lift your netting off the ground and if you find a creature entangled, take to a rescue and don't just release

Meet little Penny who came in today, a very dehydrated 203g. Let's see if we can't give a bit of tlc. Fluids and a nice warm bed for now

Today we had a lovely big female brought to us that was lying outside its nest this morning. She was in good condition. Luckily, the nest was brought too. When you see the picture, you will see why she was lying out. I'm surprised she could even get in! In the "nest" Were at least two babies. All returned home with a hog house and straw to see if she might move her brood into bigger accommodation

Busy day today. Took 4 calls to take in hogs whilst doing the Norton Green Market this morning. One diverted and then the other 3 taken in. All very poorly. One baby with bad mange, a juvenile with thorny headed worm and another young adult full of roundworm. Fingers crossed they respond quickly to treatment. For those of a squeamish nature - look away. This is thorny headed worm under the microscope

John and Dorothy off to live their best life. Both were found wandering in the road out in the day. After treatment for parasites and some tlc, they are both ready to explore the outside world again. Stay safe ❤️

Well the Yarm 3 finally got their freedom. Do you remember the 3 tiny babies found in the perfect nest cold and covered in fleas and fly strike? Look at them now. Stay safe. Thanks to Liz and Gail for getting them ready

Meet Button. 150g of cute just taken my last emergency place. I can't take any more at the moment 🙁

19/08/2024

Flook released by Beth back into her garden with his very own des res. Stay safe young man

17/08/2024

Two more releases last night. Dram who was underweight out in the day next to the New Road and little Squeaky who was 210g, out in the day with severe breathing problems and parasites. Stay safe kids 🤞

06/08/2024

A bitter sweet day today. The Thornaby 3 have been released together in the most amazing wildlife garden. Everything a hog could want. Thanks to Annie and Steve for providing a safe haven for my babies.

You wouldn't believe that little Peewee isn't very well. Obviously taking out his discomfort on the sacrificial knitted hog 😆

Well after Pink licked it to death, Blue decided to finish it off. Poor knitted hog!

No other words ☺️

Thought you would like to see what a hog moving with purpose, collecting bedding for its nest, looks like. Courtesy of my aunty this afternoon

Busy day today. One hog box off to its new home. One poorly and dehydrated hog with a puncture wound brought in this morning. After cleaning and fluids, she was tucked up to warm through. Then it was off for a ride over the moors to collect some lovely knitted hogs from Pam Shepherd and a cup of tea. Then we went to Saltburn to drop off 2 hog boxes to Sandra Monkman before heading home. Thank you everyone 🩷

I think my foxy visitor was hoping the hog would teach him how to get into the feeding station

I see a second hog has woken up. We'll have less of that thank you!

Well if you say so 😁 Check out the new merch at www.thefutureisunmown.com
