Happy New Year!

Thank you for all the support in 2024. We appreciate the donations of newspapers, food, puppy pads, dishes, and of course cash whether it's a one off or a regular monthly donation. Thank you to everyone who remembers us when shopping online and donates via Easy Fundraising.

And big thanks to the volunteers, past and present- Lynne, Joanne, Phillipa, Amanda, Lizzie, Michelle, and Emelia.

We're quiet at the moment, but expect the 2025 rush to start in a few weeks and we couldn't do it without you all

Herbert, who was found near Headlands School has made it through the first round of treatment for fluke, roundworm, and lungworm. The ringworm is also responding to treatment. He’s a lot less frantic which is a good sign, but we still have a long road to recovery ahead 🤞🏻

Little Joe exploring the freshly cleaned incubator. Poor love has giardiasis and a heavy roundworm burden 🤞🏻😍🦔

A first for me! The little thing swimming around is Giardia - a protozoan that causes upset stomach in hedgehogs (and people). Found alongside a lot of capilliara eggs in a sample from new arrival, Joe, today.

This is what a poorly hedgehog looks like. She is dehydrated and on the verge of collapse, from the tick burden she has been ill for some time. Thank you to Gemma and her daughter for getting her to me, I will do my best for her 🤞🏻

We didn’t come home with the award but we’re very proud to be shortlisted. Thank you all for the support that lets us do what we do 😍🦔

Foreman is the last of the hand-reared litter to make release weight. Now they need to toughen up a bit before release as they are far too tame for their safety at the moment.

The hoglets have moved to a crate and had their first experience of kibble today. That triggered self-anointing which is always fun to watch 😍🦔🦔🦔

Isn’t she a beauty?
