I came to find this post looking for guidance. As just some hours ago I spotted a small hedgehog on my garden. He went to feeding station but I forgot to fill the dish with spikes food. He then started wandering around in broad sunny daylight foraging on the garden beds. I managed to get him to feel his weight and look for any injury signs, he was small/light but looked ok. Released back to garden (not before i toped up food, which he ate a bit after uncurling). Now seeing the OP above, I think I should have instead taken him to our local rescue centre to be well taken care? I am concerned it may be a hoglet and wont survive our northwest winter (not sure how differentiate adult hogs from hoglets from this year’s litter, as we only observe them on night cameras)
If I see him again, shall I take to rescue center? Thank you for any guidance!
