    Hi there
    Noticed a hedgehog in our garden the last week or 2.
    He does be flying around furaging and even comes up to the back door occasionally.
    But- he has been asleep in a ball at the end of the garden for just over 24 hours at this stage. I thought he was dead this morning so gently rubbed him with a leaf and the spikes came up and he kind of winced.
    So I thought he’s just having a big sleep.
    Anyway unbelievably he is still there this eve so just went out to him now again thinking the worst and same thing again.
    Is there something I should/could do??
    He didn’t appear to be sick or anything was quite content but am a bit concerned now for him.
    Marty.

    Give Bev from The Hogsprickle hedgehog rescue a shout. She'll be able to advise, and if necessary, to arrange for your hog to get the care he may need if he's sick or injured.

    If you want to leave out some water not milk. They cant drink milk. They like catfood if you think he is hungry or mealworms if you have any.

    Contacted Bev and after some over and back she put me in touch with a local animal rescue lady who has now taken in the little fellow. Thanks for putting me in touch.
    She hopes he is just dehydrated- I’ll report back.
    Thank you.
    Marty.
