Luckily he seems unharmed, 1.3kg according to the kitchen scale. Guess I'm going to be building a little hedgehog shelter in that corner of my yard.

  1. Is the dog ok? My old terrier would regularly pick a fight with our resident hedgehog. It never went well.

    Fearless and stupid is a risky way to go through life.

  2. Cute! My dog played with a hedgehog once, she was trying to get her mouth around the funny ball and then jumping back in shock. She was only playing with him for about 5 mins but had several fleas when I got her back indoors.

    Worth a flea treatment and checking for ticks!

  3. Hedgehog numbers are in rapid decline across the UK, so thanks for looking out for this little guy! If you pop a shallow dish of water and maybe a small bowl of cat food, they’ll be massively grateful. And if you *really* want to earn brownie points, the bird bit in your nearest supermarket pet aisle might have some dried meal worms. These are the ultimate delicacies in the hedgehog world, and I promise are way less gross to handle than they sound.

  4. Will be covered in fleas and ticks so be careful and spray everywhere it’s been and everything it been in contact with.

  6. Aww, poor bugger, offer him a sandwich before he goes home. Mrs Tiddlywinks must be frantic.

  8. They’re usually riddled with ticks and worms. Just sayin’.

  10. I just spent a wildly long time trying to figure out what the fuck was wrong with that echidna.
