It’s fantastic to see them back where they belong and doing so well! 🍂 Hedgehogs are busy building nests for autumn and winter. Leave some leaf litter in your garden or pop a plant pot on its side filled with straw or dried leaves to help them out! 🍂

Every hedgehog admitted has faecal samples checked for internal parasites💩 Low levels are normal in wild hedgehogs, but stress & illness can cause burdens to increase. Sadly, many admissions arrive with high parasite burdens, making these checks an important part of their care💚
