Hoggelts

ByJon

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.

    We have rescued yet another unwanted pony, the country is awash with them!. Up and down the country breeders are unnecessarily putting mares into foal when there is no hope of a future for them unless rescue centres step in. The owner of this pony had hundreds. The breeding had spiralled out of control and…

    Rescued Piglet

    ByJon

    This newly born piglet was found abandoned and defenceless; she would not have survived more than a few more hours without her mother. The people who found her contacted a nearby farm where she no doubt came from, they were told to “throw it in the ditch”, luckily they cared, they kept her warm and brought…
