Hedgehogs, Are Really Suffering

[josaphine32]

A little please, could all animal lovers put something out for them please, even if you think you have not got any, it has been so dry that mums are now abanding there young as there is no food, no worms slugs, far to dry, I am fostering, but the center is packed to the rafters, from 7 I am now down to 4, thats in two days, it is bloody hard work trying to give them a chance, cat food, dog food, cat and dog biscuits, nuts, but also leave water out, thanks, off now to feed baby hogs again.

Abandoning ^^^ still don't think thats right, but hay spelling police will say if I am wrong,

I leave water out and hidey holes in dead stuff but can't put food out because we have rats. I do make sure though that i keep corners of my garden damp even in the dryest spells to encourage some creepy crawly food.

Wharton, bloody nackered, up at 5.30 last feed 11pm, the hot weather gave a baby boom, but the heat carried on, food supplies then came to an abrupt stop, all I can do is ask, it wont stop me being nackered as I know there will be load more, 36 babies were handed in yesterday alone,

I don't have a garden or a local hedgehog population worth speaking of, but I like the cut of your jib!

I haven't seen our hedgehog for a few years but I'm going to put some food out tonight just in case! Thanks for the heads up. Sounds like you're doing a cracking job - good for you!

I have multiple hedgehogs - I have cameras to capture their activities.

Last night definately had 2 at same time, but have had 3 at once in the past.

I don't know if I'm seeing the same ones over and over, or if they are different ones.

They dineon Butchers cat food (chicken in jelly - never give fish or gravy), ham and a seed mix I get from www.birdfood.co.uk (can get the seed mix in Asda, but is cheaper buying in bulk from the manuacturer.)

They also get water.
