Derek today, his spines are really coming through now and his fur is starting to show. He's a real character!

Derek!!! Look at him now!

Derek is in the newspaper!

Long overdue update on Derek, apologies! The volunteers that have not seen him for a week can’t believe how he has changed…. He still has little patches where his skin is not 100% but he is looking very handsome again.

Derek update. Look how handsome he is now! Spines and a fluffy tummy ! So proud of him 🦔🦔

Evie and Flo, two of our young volunteers have had a cake sale to raise funds for the rescue. Well done girls and a big thank you to you and everyone that supported you. They have raised a very impressive £215:19!

Derek's journey. He came in on 30th September weighing just 100g and covered in mange. He's looking so much better now his spins and fur have grown back.

Reggie and Hope were released last night back into the garden where they will be support fed and have houses. This is Hope later in the night collecting nesting material to line the already full box. Reggie is in the other box.

Derek keeping an eye on proceedings at the rescue. Isn't he a handsome hedgehog now?

Happy New Year from us all at Pickering Hedgehog Rescue, thank you for your continued support. Photo of Bruce who is out on foster to gain weight.

We always need food for the hogs. Specialist food is expensive but only for the very sick. Maybe get together with friends, family or work mates. Have updated our Amazon list. It could be cheaper elsewhere so check first, tins are cheaper than pouches. Thank you for your support.

Some videos from the other night, I will get caught up one day! I never tire of seeing these wonderful creatures and we are fortunate here to have a good population. #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife #mywildlifegarden youtu.be/SyBf1LyBUjE

A few videos of the visitors to the feeding stations. I get quite a few visits each night but it's good t see them foraging as well now the ground is not quite so hard and dry. #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife youtu.be/CA0tPAzA-3E

A little one out just before it got dark on the first clip. It would normally be a concern to see one out in daylight but this wasn't long before dark so I hope it's allright. #hedgehog #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature #ukwildlife youtu.be/eWX2VoXGNPQ

Last night at one of the feeders, three different sized hedgehogs all chomping away at the food! #mywildlifegarden #hedgehog #uknature #hedgehogsofyoutube #uknature youtu.be/WxlucD9jjCM
