#27089

Back in July 2020 my husband looked out our window as he could hear foxes. He saw them ‘playing’ with a baby hedgehog, swinging it around by its foot. He went out and ‘rescued’ it. It had lost some of its toes on one foot so we put it in a box with a towel and a dish of water and bathed its foot. Later in the day we took it to a local wildlife hospital. Hopefully that is one saved. There was a another dead baby in next doors garden.
We have a hedgehog house in our garden and often see 2 adults after dark. We put put food for them and chase off any foxes or cats that appear. We think maybe the female is pregnant again as she is stuffing the house full of dried leaves and grass. Hope if/when she has them we will see them about.
