Little Ivy 🦔

Remember the poorly hedgehog I found in my garden a couple of weeks ago with ringworm on her face so she could hardly open her eye? Well this is her today after receiving treatment and tlc at the 5* Shelley Hedgehogs. Her eye is open, the ringworm is responding to treatment, you can see the line on her back where she’s been strimmed but she’s recovering nicely and I’ve named her Ivy. 🦔☺️🦔☺️

Happy Friday everyone

Sorry there haven’t been many updates lately, unfortunately my father is seriously ill in hospital and I’m going across to Manchester most days to see him.. so things have been slipping 🫣

I would say that we have been a little quieter, but the rescue seems to be filling up..

Two returning hedgehogs have been admitted this week, both released at the end of August, to different locations…One, Hedwig, sadly passed away last night 😢🌈

The other was this little one; caught on camera by the finder, I was contacted to get my thoughts and I agreed that there was a concern and he was brought into rescue.. [thankfully he returned the following night..]

He has quite a nasty head injury which we are treating; I also suspect a parasite burden..

Don’t forget that we are at ‘The Foxglove’ Winter Fayre tomorrow.. If you can, please pop in and see us ..

Louise is still running the auction and there are some fabulous things. You can find it by following this link…

And….

I will start the Christmas draw tomorrow, so look out for some fabulous prizes that have been donated by our generous supporters 🎄❄️🎄❄️

Have a good weekend everyone… [Another hedgehog on its way in…I knew I shouldn’t have said the Q word!]

Little Miss Uncooperative 🦔

This young one arrived from Crofton, another one brought in by one of our long standing volunteers… Gillian

Not surprisingly, she has a very high parasite burden and has been again found out in the daytime… she will be here for a good few weeks 🦔

Better set another place for Christmas dinner 🎄🤭😉

I want to say a massive thank you to the Co-Op and everyone that chose us as their local community good cause…

Because of you and your support, we have been able to install air conditioning and heating in the rescue and purchase more cages which will allow us to help more hedgehogs 💙

Thank you from all of us here at Shelley Hedgehogs 🫶🏻💙🦔 x

This little girl was caught on the camera on Friday night, looking to be in a very sorry state.. 😢

Luckily this was at the home of one our experienced volunteers .. Michelle

Michelle spent last night waiting for her return and in the early hours of this morning, she got her!

This poor hedgehog has got quite bad ringworm on her face, a fungal infection that will be very itchy, making the skin sore and prone to infection ..

She also has had a ‘near miss’ with a strimmer in the recent months - thankfully only her quills on her back have been cut and not her skin ..

It was a snowy, cold and wet morning here, but we joined many of Tracy’s friends and family at the tree planting ceremon...

It was a snowy, cold and wet morning here, but we joined many of Tracy’s friends and family at the tree planting ceremony, dedicated to her memory …

Tracy was a part of this rescue and sadly took her own life in December 2022, which was devastating for both her family and friends ..

Her wonderful friend Lesley and Lesley’s partner, Amy, conquered both the national and Yorkshire 3 peaks, back to back, raising funds for us here at Shelley Hedgehogs and for The Samaritans..

We have an incubator that will be dedicated to Tracy and her beloved dog, Blade, who sadly passed away 8 months after Tracy..

I am sure that Tracy was looking down today, to see all of those that hold her dearly in their hearts ❤️

Today’s weather forecast is brought to you from Shelley Hedgehogs, by Holly, who arrived last night from Wkye ..

It’s snowing …and cold! ❄️❄️❄️

Holly was found out in the day, she is only a little over 300g and she has blood in her p**p.. Analysis showed that she has a high fluke and roundworm burden; she was dehydrated on arrival.
After receiving supportive sub cut fluids, treatment has commenced ..

She has put 50g on overnight! 🙌🏻🦔❤️

‘By eck’ …it’s a tad chilly out there this morning 🥶

Remember Mabel, the hedgehog that climbed over the partition in her cage, rather than just walking around it? (I’ll post the video again in the comments if you missed it ☺️)

Here she is tucking into her Brambles food this morning.. Mabel has a head tilt and unable to fully curl up, so we have a home for her in a secure garden when the weather improves a little ..

Stay in and stay warm, that’s our advice and you’ll soon be able to see some of our fabulous Christmas gifts, when I get them posted on the page 🎄🧑‍🎄

It might be cold outside ❄️🥶 but the hedgehogs in rescue are keeping warm, here is one of our new admissions from Clayton West…

Please do keep feeding any visiting hedgehogs as some don’t hibernate, even in these cold temperatures and so now, more than any other time, it’s important that we give a helping hand to our spiky little friends … 🦔

I’m sorry to say that due to personal reasons and also the weather forecast, I have deceived to cancel this weekend’s coffee morning and Christmas Fayre…

We do have some wonderful things that have been donated and also Christmas wrapping paper, crackers and cards etc to sell...

I will post items for purchase on the page and we will also do a Christmas draw..

If anyone would like to buy anything, they will be available for collection from the rescue ..

Thank you for your support and apologies for cancelling this weekend’s event 😢

Happy Saturday 🦔

A reminder that it’s our Christmas Fayre and coffee morning on Sunday 24th November, here at the rescue …

Please call in for a takeaway cuppa and a cake and maybe get your Christmas cards and wrapping paper! 🦔

If any of our lovely supporters would like to bake for us, we would be extremely grateful 🍰

Autumn juvenile?

Sadly no, this is Martha 😢

Martha was released from rescue at the end of August, weighing over 550g… Yesterday, she was readmitted, weighing only 265g.. she had returned to her release garden and was found out in the day, desperately needing help..

She was dehydrated, has a high number of seed ticks and this morning has tested positive for lungworm, (I strongly suspect that’s not all!)

Martha is in one of our incubators and as ever, we will do all that we can for this little lady 🦔❤️
