When they get their wings, they’re going to be a pointy-topped menace. Like Dennis.
That’s a very cat-like thing to do in fairness.
Not sure from the picture but if it’s trying to hide away then it’s probably nothing but if a hedgehog consistently starts walking in the open/daytime then it can often mean it’s unwell. There was one near me a few years back and it got taken to the vet and healed in the end as it was ill.
Poor thing needs a home
Looks like it was a big night, poor guy barely made it home from the pub XD
Shouldn’t be out in the daytime, something is wrong.
Call your local sanctuary asap.
EDIT Please offer water and a little cat food if you have some. Do not offer milk.
when heggies are out in daytime its a sign they are sick. please contact your local rescue if the doesn’t move/hide away/looks lethargic.
It could well be pregnant and looking for food, a high quality (meat first ingredient) cat biscuits. Cat wet food, no fish, or in gravy
Please dont buy the gimmick hedgehog foods as they are unregulated and use the poor grade meats and cereals
Shallow dishes of water around the garden will always be welcome
If possible, please listen for any shallow breathing /wheezing sounds and (yes, it’s gross). Check for poop with worms
If you have somewhere they can shelter and feel protected they’ll appreciate that too
Welcome to the cactus mouse club!🦔
Edit – ticks are common (multiples in hard to reach places or around face are not good and need help)
Fleas are host specific, but mites (although rare are transferable to your cat)
