Hi Marcia, no, still not got the complete kit, but at least I've found a local shop which sells all manner of colostrum-type products etc etc. I may just order the lot online from Hyperdrug or someone - will save the mortal social shame of queueing up at Boots with a pack of hypodermics. (I'd probably feel obliged to buy a pack of condoms too, just to deflect from my personal embarrassment...
)
Regarding this old lady of yours, I hope she understands that hedgehogs don't want to be mixing socially with feral cats!!
Regarding Nutkin, is it worth trying her(/him) on a scrap of meat-based meat, if you see what I mean? My Fatso always gobbled down all the cooked chicken he could lay his paws on, but left the dried stuff for a last resort.
