Local rescue (not a sanctuary we do this at home) for sick and injured hedgehogs .We provide help and care they need.
(19)
If you find any contact us straight away for advice We are a recent registered charity, we demote our lives to save hedgehogs, we have been helping hedgehogs for over 10 years! it all started with one hedgehog we found in our garden who was out in the day time, we took him to our local rescue which at the time was in Dewsbury, they was completely full and asked us to care for him to which we said
yes! we was in contact with the rescue every single day and then another hedgehog appeared during the day the same story goes until eventually we had 4!! 2 girls and 2 boys after a lot of time, the hedgehogs were ready to have their freedom so we released them back in our garden to where we found them originally, after they was gone we felt like something was missing and then we knew what our fate was, to devote our time and lives to save these amazing animals, after a year of being mentored we was ready to not rely so heavily on the rescue who made Castleford hedgehog rescue, a few years into it we got our first ever abandoned week old hoglet who we called BABY as he was never supposed to live but he did! he had around the clock care and we noticed we was spoiling him too much to the point he thought he was a dog! so guess what he stayed with us and terrorised me, from that day we have said never again to hand raising tiny babies so then came the amazing Louise! every now and then we will hand rear little pink beans but very differently then when we did baby hahaha we have learnt this lesson. hedgehogs are our lives and we want to help any many as possible and hope to regain the numbers of hedgehogs are they are sadly in decline
We have 4 babies that are ready to be released, 2 boys and 2 girls. The girls are sisters. All 4 are relocates, and we are looking for somewhere safe to release them
If you have an active population of hedgehogs visiting your garden, empty hedgehog houses, and feed all year round, please comment below

This little girl spent 2 years in rescue, and yesterday was finally her time to be a free hedgehog! She suffered extremely bad with her skin and infection after infection, but after a few months of being outside with our disabled girls, she didn't suffer with her skin anymore

If you're doing your gardens and leave bin liners around, please check them for hedgehogs before throwing them away because, like blind mary, they like to go inside them!

Yesterday, we were contacted by 3 11 year old girls, who found a poorly hedgehog, they spotted the hedgehog in a bit of woodlands next to a park they was playing in, for hours these girls tried contacting lots of different rescues and was asking adults for help to which no one would help them, a man walked past him at 8am, moved him and left him to die with flys landing on him, the girls stayed with the hedgehog for hours making sure he was comfortable and was shooing flys away from him, luckily they contacted us to which then our transport volunteer mollie went to collect him, because of these 3 amazing girls he won't be eaten alive by maggots, he has a chance to fight for his life to which he is doing, he has a wound at the side of his head and in his ear, he has head trauma so he is on medication to sort that out.
Disgusting that adults wouldn't help the poor hedgehog we are so truly thankful to the 3 girls, fingers crossed he'll still be with us tomorrow
*the photo of just the fly eggs is what I got out of one ear*!

This beautiful girl tried to give birth on me as I was taking ticks off her legs! Off she went to one of our trustee's kay who originally found the girl, she'll raise the babies amazingly in kays hutch, far better then being stuck in a rubbish box she has lots of room to get away from her babies when she wants and she'll be safe to raise them 💜 we wish her nothing but the best, goodluck mama 💜💜
Just got this little boy from half acres skate park, a girl messaged her mum about him who then contacted me, he's definitely been there all night as his little nails are worn down, your safe now little man 💜 isn't he just so cute
Tyson, frank and Bruno all 3 blind boys have gone to live the rest of their life's with Nic and Tony today 💙 we cannot be more thankful to them both for taking the 3 boys they've been running around enjoying their secured freedom, self anointing and being normal hedgehogs, Bruno (bald spot on the head) came to us over 6 months ago with a awful head wound its 95% healed but some proper fresh air will do the other 5% some good! Nic will keep a very close eye on it, but with experience, I believe he'll just do fantastic
Have a fantastic life. Boys 💙 Bruno will be missed the most, but he's only 5 minutes away from the rescue , we wish you nothing but full bellies and happiness, which I can already see you having! Especially frank (second photo)
The baby who's eye's were pecked out is doing well, at first he wasn't coping but now he's doing fantastic we hope he'll continue doing well as he already has a secure garden waiting for him when he's ready 💜
Massive thank you to Ruth who saved a hedgehog today, she knew something wasn't right with him and posted in Castleford Gossip, unfortunately there was some extremely poor advice or people taking the p*ss but thanks to one of my fosterers nic he's safe in our care, the poor boy is extremely malnourished weighing at 397g when he should be atleast 800/900g he has a torn ear and also a ear, eye and nose infection, he's now comfortable in a warm cosy blanket, he's had fluids and medication, he's eaten well and is currently fast asleep.
Thank you so much Ruth and Nic 💜

Sad news one of our ducks was attacked by teenage boys yesterday the duck in question was one of ours that we successfully released back into the wild on the 9th of June which was literally 10 days ago, we've had the girls since the 6th of April, if you remember how tiny they was, most of you watched these babies grow up into beautiful adults they are today, just minutes before the attack they were running home to visit us for some food, as you can see in the video, shortly after something spooked them and they flew off with others that were with them, unfortunately one of the girls, flew into a window at the parklands, I was watching her making sure she was okay, as I didn't want to stress her out by chasing after her as she's quite fast! That's when I saw what happened, i basically screamed at them to leave her alone, with multiple witnesses who saw the event and there is also CCTV of where it happened, I've been out all the time since it happened to look for the her but failed to locate her, she's no where to be seen hopefully she flew off to be somewhere safe for the rest of the day, we are hoping they will all return tomorrow morning for their breakfast, as all 5 girls show up in the morning without fail, I've been down into the Marsh and all 5 wasn't there, we are worried sick, the adrenaline was pumping, but after calming down I can confirm that Bailey was telling his friends to leave her alone, I also picked up the metal pole and it's currently in our bin. I've also spoken to neighbours and residents in the parklands who also saw what happened but we are all keeping a eye out for her, we are heartbroken that this has happened, and we wpuld like thank everyone who has been asking about her, if you'd like to feed the ducks please don't feed them bread they really like seeds and brambles duck pellets as it fills them up for longer where as bread can clog inside their crop, if you do want to feed them bread please soak it in water so atleast they can have a dr

Remember these 2? Little orphan male and the only baby of 6 to survive, they've grown up so much💜💙 they love their special baby formula NOT milk.
In other news, the 5 ducklins we had have grown up beautifully and have been released. One flew away the day before the other 4 were released, and it turns out she was here waiting for her sisters 💜 we visit them every day to feed them brambles swan and duck pellets which they absolutely love! They are thriving 💜 it was such a beautiful moment to see them join all the other ducks, who look similar in age to the girls!
**THIS IS NOT MILK IT IS FORMULA** This little girl is 3 weeks old today and already so very independent🥺💜
Sleeping baby 💜💜 isn't she just so precious until her brother wakes her up 🤣🤣 luckily he did i didn't have the heart to it's feeding time!!
