The Dogmother Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Here's one for Egluntyne... A friend who usually fosters abandoned lurcher pups is putting her heat pads to good use, looking after 4 tiny hedgehogs who were rescued locally. I'm sure she won't mind me spreading the love by posting photos here as they are just so gorgeous. 2 of them have had to be handled for medication, but she's trying not to have too much contact with the others so they're not so human-friendly when they are released. The coloured splodges are so they know which is which when it comes to weighing them. This is Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Adorable!!! What an amazing thing to do! I know, I'd love to do that if I had the time. Last year she helped Lurcher Link by taking in an abandoned, pregnant lurcher... the dog almost immediately had (I think it was) 6 poopies, which the charity re-homed to good owners. She's amazing, and they all did so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimnpaula Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 It's so nice to see hedgehogs with no ticks! My mum is quite proficient at catching hedgehogs in her garden, weighing them, and then feeding them or taking them in during winter until they are big enough.

Egluntyne Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Fantastic. It is a lot of hard work, so well done to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 She has back up from the rescue, but I think that she's well used to rearing babies. They do zoom around a lot less than 7 lurcher poopies though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Awwww, how lovely. I adore hedgehogs. It looks like they are being really well looked after - they won't want to rough it when they grow up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 What sweet little things. Just love hedgehogs but hardly ever see one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
