What we do
Our facilities allow us to provide vital first aid, treatment and rehabilitation to hedgehogs that have been found unwell, abandoned or injured. ​
Working with the support of two local veterinary surgeries, we provide on-going care and rehabilitation to admitted hedgehogs into our care with the hope of being able to release healthy hedgehogs back in the wild.

Bringing a hedgehog to us
-
Please carefully place the hedgehog in a high sided cardboard box (they’re good climbers!)
-
Include a covered hot water bottle or heat pad then also cover the hedgehog with a light coloured towel - yes even in the summer as a sick or stressed hedgehog will suffer from hypothermia so it’s important to keep them warm.
-
Please do NOT offer any feed, only water, as the energy required to digest the feed can often cause them to deteriorate further.
