It is Branchage time again, please take care when you cut, strim or mow, we are seeing injured hedgehogs frequently at this time of year and most of them are taken straight to the vets to be put to sleep. Please take time before you start work to check the area carefully for hedgehogs and other wildlife to avoid killing or injuring anything. Thank you. If you do find an injured hedgehog, please phone us on 01534 734340 or the JSPCA for other wildlife on 01534 724331.

This is a lovely video by Jill King of a mother hedgehog gathering bedding for her maternity nest. You may also see healthy female hedgehogs out in daylight doing this or out foraging. If they are walking with purpose and are not lying down or wobbling around please leave them alone, and give them a dish of water and some dog or cat food, so they can produce enough milk for their hoglets. If the hedgehog is sick or injured or you are not sure please phone 01534 734340 for help and advice.

Morning Playmates! xx Yes, it's that kinda day! 🙄
