Hi Shirljune12. As Cazzie mentioned i`m currently looking after a little one too.If you check the garden visitor thread in the mammal section, several people have posted some good advice on looking after hedgehogs which may be of help to you.
Good luck with your hog

Hi everyone I am a new member, its surprizing how long it takes to actually put finger on keys and join in. As I have been veiwing all the different sections, I have been seeing lots of info passed around and as a fulltime wildlife carer would like to add some advice on small hedgehogs. Hedgehogs should weigh at least 1lb 1/2 (650/700gms) to survive the winter, any less than that and they will not get through.
Looking after small h/hogs o/w ie under a 1lb they should be kept in a warm enviroment, any under 6oz should have a heat pad. Hope that helps a few of you h/hog carers out there. |

Hi Naturelover
At the moment we have 86 hedgehogs in, plus 2 hoglets aged about 2 1/2 wks old! We are just in the process of sorting our second lot of releasable h/hogs, those weighing over 700gms. It is alot of work, we operate 24/7 service. We deal on average 500/600 h/hogs per year, as well as birds and mammals. |
