This hedgehog was found yesterday in the university of York grounds.
As luck would have it a member of staff was going to topup one of our hedgehog feeding stations. The hedgehog popped in for a bite to eat then proceeded to walk around
This was around 1pm so clearly something was wrong
This hedgehog who has been called Kim was taken to Urchins hedgehog rescue for a check over. Turns out internal parasites and loosing weight quickly
Moral of the story, a hedgehog out during the daytime may look healthy as shown in this video. However can also have unseen health problems
Hopefully this hog will make a full recovery and back on campus grounds in the near future.
