Hi Peeps we found this little guy struggling to cross the road (they were ½ way across & not making much progress.
I’ve given him some cat biscuits & there is a bowl of water in the box .
Can I just release them into our rewilded garden & put food out of an evening ?
Any advice gratefully accepted.
EDIT: UPDATE ….
First thanks to everyone who responded!
We have found a Hedgehog Rescue Peep about 20 minutes drive from our house.
A lovely lady named Anne has taken Henri in to check for parasites etc & then feed up.
Henri is a tiny thing weighing in at just 184g! His/her (yet to be determined - our Henri is very shy ! ) target weight is 500g .
We have plans to get a proper hog-house (since my wood working skills are limited to shelving & minor repairs) & then Henri can enjoy our re-wilded garden!
Expect updates on the Hashtag #
HenriHog once we get more info.
