Hedgehog found dehydrated on Campus.


Today Thursday 21st of July following the record breaking heatwave. This hedgehog was discovered during the day in obvious distress. 

Luckily one of our hedgehog champions was in the area, so was able to quickly respond.

This hedgehog who was named Olivia, was taken to Urchins hedgehog rescue.

It was soon determined that this hedgehog was dehydrated but also lactating. This was a clear indication pregnant or already had hoglets waiting in the nest. It was decided the best action was to return Olivia back to where she was found. 

All this took place very quickly as other lives was now at risk. 

Olivia was returned with food in her belly, along with plenty of fluids.

A container for fresh water is getting put in place this same day.
