Hey everyone,
I came across a hedgehog in my garden & I am not sure about what to do next. It was out during the day; which I have heard is not a good sign. It seemed a little sluggish but did not look visibly injured. I left out some water and cat food but I am wondering if I should do more.
For those of you experienced in rescuing hedgehogs; what are the signs that it might need urgent help?? Should I take it to a rescue center; or is it okay to monitor for now? Also; if I do need to care for it temporarily what is the best setup for keeping it safe and comfortable? ?
Thank you.

I don’t think it’s a good sign if they are out during the day, especially if looking sluggish. We had the same issue last year and managed to catch the hedgehog, put it in a high sided box with a hot water bottle wrapped in a blanket and got it urgent help
