  1. Head chog….

    It’s hedgehog! As in a wee pig from out of a hedge or something.

  2. Saw this little dude wandering around in an industrial estate by itself during the day…I thought they were nocturnal? It was smol and looked kinda hungry but I didn’t wana disturb it

  3. Hedgehogs are great as others are saying though apparently it’s a bad sign if they are wandering around in the day. I found one in the garden and rang a hedgehog rescue place but they said not to bring him in which was a bit crap ..guess they were full so I got a shoebox and put some cat biscuits and water in as well as a towel ..probably not necessary just thought the hedgehog might want to relax lol. He just walked off though anyway so hopefully all was alright. But yes they are great animals!

  4. I’m very confused about the habitat for hedgehogs. When I was a kid living in London I used to see them all the time; both living ones in the garden and squished ones on the road. Then I moved to the countryside 30 years ago and haven’t seen one since! Doesn’t matter if it’s a town, city or on a farm, they don’t seem to exist outside of London. Is it just me who’s experienced this?

  5. If you see hedgehogs out in the daytime it usually means they are in trouble and will need taking to your local wildlife rescue centre. If you can’t take it yourself please still call the rescue centre as many will have local volunteers who can come and help.

  6. My family looks after hedgehogs.

    He’s tiny, it’s hibernation season, and it’s out during the day – these are all signs he won’t survive winter. He doesn’t have enough fat on him, hence why a noctunal creature is out during the day in winter, scavenging, and why he won’t survive.

    He should be with a rescue shelter/home.

    They’re easy to find on Facebook in your local area. Just find a local rescue society and tell them his location. Someone will pick him up.

    They’ll take him home and ideally give him iv fluids and feed him throughout winter to be released in spring, and hopefully check for fly strike.

  7. Get them in my garden quite often during the Warmer months. Pretty much most nights I could guarantee that there was one outside.

  8. That is a very small, very thin looking hedgehog. It is also out at the wrong time of day, at the wrong time of year. If it doesn’t get help it doesn’t stand much chance of surviving the winter.
