Traumatised Hoglet

This poor chap arrived this morning with a sad story. Apparently he was put in a hamster ball and kicked around by kids who then threw him into a bin, like a disposable toy. Thankfully he was taken out of the bin by a passerby who then called us.

He’s only 92 grams, he should still be with his mother, lets hope his siblings didn’t go through the same trauma, we hope they are still safe with mum.

He arrived very dehydrated and cold, his life is in the balance.
