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!

I'll be at the Crafty Ouens Market this Saturday, along with many talented crafters. We'd all love to see and chat with you

This is a very lucky hedgehog who was crossing the road by St Lawrence School yesterday and rescued by a kind lady who brought him to us as she could see he was dragging a back leg. We took him straight to New Era Vets who found he had broken both bones in his back leg and had a hairline fracture of the pelvis. Vet Ben has pinned the leg successfully, so we are hoping for a full recovery and release, after 4 weeks cage rest to heal the pelvic fracture. The other option was amputation. Many thanks to Ben for avoiding this for the hedgehog. They often walk well enough with one back leg but cannot groom themselves and are more prone to parasite infestation and flystrike.

This poor hog has met with a strimmer, there are short spines on his head as well as this nasty cut on his nose. Nose wounds are always hard to heal and hogs hate not being able to breathe through their noses, the noises coming from his hutch are awful as he tries to breathe through his nose. We are trying all the usual meds and nebulisation before we decide that nothing can be done for this poor hedgehog.

There's nothing more satisfying to me than putting words and pictures together, giving them a true meaning. Keep an eye out for more, I have loads I've done! Feel free to comment if any of them resonate with you, I like to think and feel that maybe one or two may have special meaning for you

2 lucky hedgehogs rescued today, the first one was found in an underground car park. 2 kind residents waited with him until he was collected, he must have got through the metal gate at the other end of the car park and not been able to find his way out again.

The second one was rescued from the middle of the road on St Aubin's Hill. Many thanks to the lorry driver for stopping the traffic to rescue the little hog and to D B Cummings for phoning us and giving the driver directions to find us
