Hoggelts

Another feed for one of the 5 hoglets we are currently rearing, these require a feeds every two to three hours now from 5am until 23:00.

The rate of decline in hedgehogs is unsustainable, we all need to do everything we can to help these native creatures.

If you can, please leave a wild part in your garden, be very careful when setting garden waste alite or disturbing it and never use poisons in your garden such as deadly slug pellets. If you have a slug problem, you should encourage hedgehogs and control them naturally not poison hedgehogs and songbirds in the process.

Hedgehogs are amazing creatures, we see 20 odd every day in our care, yet so many people visiting us have never seen what was once very common in every garden.

Please do your bit to help these beautiful native animals.
