Thanks Nic, I’ll definitely check this out.

We’ve had some more detailed news from the hospital – there was no hind left leg, they said, and the right hind leg showed signs of an old fracture too.

What was perhaps the best news was that the hedgehog was sexed as male; this is great because last summer we had a female hog and four baby hoglets! The gender of our more recent hog rules out the fertile female and the old fracture presumably also rules out any of the four hoglets…so there’s still the chance we’ve got a resident family somewhere around!
