Ticks love the smell of sickness. This is because an animal who smells of infection will be weakened and, like all parasites, ticks love a weak host - someone who can't put up too much of a fight. So a hedgehog with clusters of ticks, or a lot of ticks spread all over his body,

How wonderful to see PETA, the biggest animal rights organisation in the world, making their position clear and standing up for our precious UK hedgehogs, against these cruel vanity taggers. Thank you PETA UK from the bottom of my heart. Please read: peta.org.uk/blog/tagged-he…

40 years ago today. Me and my home-made stand, freezing, despite wearing 3 coats, campaigning for the animals outside Boots the Chemist (against their vivisection labs), and collecting for the BUAV Cruelty Free International. This was the winter of 1984, when the amazing, inimitable

Only healthy, full sized hedgehogs with sufficient fat reserves are able to hibernate. Adults who are sick, or babies who were born too late to have achieved this happy state are forced to stay up and struggle through the winter. There is no natural food now so if they don't

Some lovely news! 😊 Darling Theo didn't get up last night, so he's started the hibernation process. This means he now feels well enough to hibernate, and content enough to do that here, and I'm so happy!🥹

Recently I've seen, and heard, a lot of people offering fruit to the sick starving hedgehogs they find out in the day. Firstly, these casualties are dying and need treatment, not food. Not a second can be wasted - get them to a good rescue (never a vet) URGENTLY. Secondly,

Hedgehogs don't have a fight-or-flight response, so when terrified they don't struggle, bite or run. But they feel fear just the same. Causing wildlife stress by handling them can kill, or cause an abortion. So please never touch a hedgehog unless it's an emergency, such as

A hedgehog out in the day is seriously ill and needs 𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 treatment from a rescue (not a vet). They've become hypothermic so are seeking warmth and are often seen on roads, car parks, paving and paths, as these surfaces hold the the sun's heat longer than soil or grass.

Yes, I know it's a mild-ish, dry and sunny weekend, but please leave your garden alone! It may be offending your brainwashed eye but please be patient. It's not untidy, it's natural. And right now it's a nursery. So many insects in larvae form overwinter in the hollow stems, leaf

Please put out a dish of water, now. And refresh it tonight, and every night, just before dark. Leave yourself a reminder note on the fridge.📜✍️ Babies are dying because the mums are too dehydrated to make enough milk for their needs. Even if you had a rain shower in the

Please do NOT take hedgehog casualties to a vet. No matter how lovely, UK vets are a business for domesticated animals and their paying owners only, and are NOT trained in the care of wildlife. Two more little hedgehogs lost their lives this week because their trusting owners

Halloween artificial cobweb material: It may be a bit of fake fun for you, but it's a very real and terrifying death for them. And it's not only birds. I've had my first call of the season of a hedgehog trapped in this horrific fake 'cobweb', made especially for gullible

Please don't make tonight the night you'll regret for the rest of your life. Unlike most mammals, hedgehogs don't have the Fight or Flight Response to danger. That means that no matter how frightened they are, they don't bite, and they don't run away. Their response to
