went to feed the rabbits last nite and found this little fella wandering around our garden
amber our patterdale wanted to mother it
the others were very unsure of what it was
it wasn,t bothered by none of us
hope it sticks around

Oh they are the cutest Jax
We used to get them in at the animal shelter I worked at and I had to feed them before they were ready to be released again.
They are so cute and has such funny and diff personalties.
Unfortunately they are also filled with fleas so keep an eye on the dogs

Cat biscuits crunchy biscuits are a hedgehog favourite.
Hedgehog food "Spike's Dinner" is available at many pet shops and some supermarkets.

NEVER feed a hedgehog bread and milk!

Gourmet Hedgehog Food Recipe
Ingredients:
Cat or kitten biscuits (meat flavour)
Unsalted peanut kernels
Dried fruit (raisins, sultanas etc)
Insectivorous bird food
Sunflower seeds
Muesli

This dry mix should be served with a bowl of water.

Start helping hedgehogs now by putting out a dish of cat, dog or hedgehog food each night (they can each eat half a tin a night). Recommended hedgehog food and recipe. To reduce the chance of cats eating the food put the dish under something low eg. a shed or a paving slab on bricks. Alternatively a box with a small hole cut in the side will prevent the cats eating the food and allow the hedgehog access to it.info from .hedgehog-rescue.co.uk
