Lynyrd Skynyrd Tuesday's Gone.
Morning.
A young hedgehog must of got a fright as my GSD discovered it underneath hedge and used his paws to roll him out while wagging his tail.
Managed to get hedgehog quite fast to save it being used as a football so now in cardbox.
Trying to phone wildlife centre to collect as area is full of traffic as his/her chances of survival would be slim.
Phoned 2 nobody picking up try again since after 9.
Look them up unfortunately there numbers are dropping only 500.000 left so he needs to go to a safe place.
Look's young as just woke up so took photo's.

Wirral Hedgehog Hospital :

Also, RSPCA at Leasowe, if you can get there. I have taken one to them a few years ago.

Don't give it milk, as it dehydrates. In the meantime just cover it with something warm and dark. They sleep through the day as a rule, unless they are not so well.

YOu can also contact these, for advice. Number at the bottom of their page.

Thank You for advice i managed to get through to Jackson`s Animal Centre and they are collecting the animal.
Tried just water thoe knocked it over.
Lady just collected while texting Said "It just left Mother through size but was in good condition but needs fattening up before hibernation".

Good news. A late baby. I feed mine everynight, with fresh water in the hope they build up in time for hibernation. They quite often come around all through the winter if it's mild enough.
Well done.
Did you have a look at the Hedgehog map on the link I posted ? Put your postcode in and it brings up any sightings near to where you live. You can also update a sighting on the map. Just follow instructions.
