Hi Bethany Craker
I think you have misunderstood what Stef said. She isn’t saying that you shouldn’t take a hedgehog to a carer/rehabilitator if it needs help, only that people with no experience should not treat wild animals themselves. Stef is an experienced carer/rehabilitator and knows what she is talking about. You could learn a lot from what she advises if you only allowed yourself to. It is not appropriate to tell people to ignore advice from Stef in favour of yourself – as you say, still a student.
I appreciate that you are trying to help the hedgehogs, but you are not helping them by telling people to ignore advice from someone more experienced than yourself. Perhaps you need to slow down a bit.
