The Hedgehog Shed: Hedgehogs in June

http://thehedgehogshed.blogspot.com/2015/06/hedgehogs-in-june.html

Friday, 5 June 2015. This really is the start of the hoglet season, many females will either be pregnant or have suckling youngsters. We even received a call yesterday (4th June) from a lady who needed advice about a sow who was having babies in her garden. If you see a dead hedgehog, and it is safe to do so, have a look and a listen to check for any hoglets. Over the next few days or even a week it is worth returning to the area to check for any orphans. Females, however, have a small home patch. She wi...

The Hedgehog Shed: Videos

http://thehedgehogshed.blogspot.com/p/videos.html

These two clips show Alan the Hoglet nest building. He would keep me amused for ages as I watched him keeping busy. He came in during 2011 as close to death as I've seen a hedgehog. It took:. Sophie the nurse two hours to pick off the maggots, fly eggs, ticks and fleas. Three days hand feeding (because he wasn't strong enough to feed himself). Three weeks TLC in HQ. Five weeks with Alan one of our volunteer carers to fatten him up ready for release. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Enjoying warm goats milk.

Many hedgehog carers (like ourselves) have no medical training, so this is where vets/nurses such as you come in. If you feel you wish to help conserve our hedgehog population the first step is to find a local carer/rehabilitator who you can work with. Perhaps the largest database of such carers can be found on the British Hedgehog Preservation Societies. What follows is a breakdown of how local vets help me by taking the first few simple steps. Advice to the public. First steps - sexing. If a hedgehog i...

The Hedgehog Shed: Garden hazards

http://thehedgehogshed.blogspot.com/p/garden-hazards.html

Dealing with garden pests. Carefully check ebfore you light any bonfires. Creating on the day you intend to light them is the ideal solution. Hedgehogs can swim and are sometimes attracted to ponds, but they may drown if they cannot get out. Gardeners should ensure that there are slipways around the edge of the water to enable the hedgehogs to escape. Half submerged rocks or even a piece of chicken wire to be used like a scrambling net are suggested. Garden netting and football nets. British Wildlife Reh...
