hedghogs

[allnuttrules]

I have a hedghog in my garden that isn't able to curl up in a ball. It is very tame but this could be that he cant curl up. He also wanders about all day. I thought they only wandered about at night. He also had about three ticks in his ears which my neighbour managed to remove. should I do anything to help it.

Try providing him with food they like cat or dog food not bread and milk as a lot of people think

As Yvonne says, you can feed them on cat or dog food. They also like to drink, so a shallow bowl of water is good as well.

This link may help you, especially if the hedgehog does have a problem. They don't usually spend much time wandering about during the day, as you rightly say.

From the same site, this may be of use. If you contact the local area, they could help you or even offer him a safe home.
