When you see a hedgehog out in the day time please remember he's been sick for a long time before taking this last desperate step. He's dying. IT'S AN EMERGENCY. Take him indoors in the warmth and ring a rescue IMMEDIATELY. Find your nearest rescue here: helpwildlife.co.uk

I have a baby monitor out in the garden, so I can hear what's going on wherever I am indoors. Last night I heard coughing; really heart-breaking, wretched, painful coughing. I ran outside and stood still, listening. It was coming from a hedgehog house I built, years ago. It has

Hedgehogs can live as long as dogs. But the sad reality is, very few are lucky enough to see their third birthday. Vinnie is a rare exception. Although it's impossible to accurately age a hedgehog, I would say he's close to 10 years old. This clever, resourceful old boy has

If anyone knows these boys, who stole a tub of water (labelled "Water for Wildlife, Please Do Not Remove") from the dehydrated desperate wildlife in the Phoenix Green woods on Dilly Lane, Hartley Wintney, at 7pm last night, and stole the small bird's water dish, and destroyed the

This poor sad, depressed girl is Elodie. She's been so badly treated; used and exploited, by the very place her finder thought she could trust - a large wildlife rescue. Originally taken to the rescue because the finder heard her coughing, the rescue commented how well she

This sweet boy turning his bath water into tea is Ambrose. Suffering from starvation and teeming with roundworm and deadly lungworm, he collapsed by a front doorstep, desperate for the residue heat from the house to keep his dying body warm. The house owner saw him there in the

In loving memory of Milo. I post this every year at this time, in the hopes it may save some gentle trusting little animal's life. Please read Milo's story in the thread🧵below. Then please spread this information as far and as wide as you can. The more people who see it, the

It happened!❤️ Last night, dear tiny little Hartley came out and ate for himself. Just 92g and so fragile, he had a little to eat and drink then (and I admit this broke me), he went back to bed and tried to tuck his sister Wintney back up. But she then got up too, and lapped a

Little Willy. Found lying on a patio desperately trying to absorb the sun's heat into his dying little body. Starving, flyblown, fleas, lice, and constant diarrhoea that had dehydrated him so much his eyes had sunken. After a very tense 48hrs he's still critical, but transformed.

Dear sweet Elodie. She is traumatised, but is slowly healing. She's gained 200g on the good food here, and this sight brought me to tears - after 3 months of being locked away in a tiny box and denied all her natural instincts, she is finally able to exercise natural behaviour

Hard to believe I know, but little baby Jennings, who was found dying, crouched between 2 compost bags coughing his little heart out, too weak to make a nest, will be going home today. 3 weeks ago he was so terribly sick, but after treatment for lungworm, roundworm, fluke and

There was a terrible smell coming from pen number 4, in the lodge. I knew no one was living there, because nothing had moved; it was spotless still from the last clean, and the food in there had been untouched for 3 days. When I opened the house, where the terrible smell was

I'm so sorry to say but darling Wilford has been euthanised. While under the anaesthetic a large tumour was found in his bladder, which had spread to his spine. So he wasn't woken from the anaesthesia. Sleep well, you good brave boy. All your trials are over.

Just for those who are so kindly concerned, yes, I replaced all the water tubs, etc. last night, and stood there in the woods until dark, in case the boys came back. So the night animals had their water, and there was a nice surprise this morning, showing the good side of human
