As the Autumn approaches young Hedgehogs who are still too small to hibernate come out in a desperate search for food! Unless these hedgehogs gain enough weight to get through the Winter, they will simply die. Any Hedgehog seen out in the day during Autumn needs help!

As one of our only other Hedgehog Carers, Caddington Hedgehogs has now closed down; we are expecting to be inundated with these “Autumn Orphan” hedgehogs this Autumn.

We have only a limited time to prepare ourselves for the arrival of the orphans and we need your help!

• We need donations so that we can buy the drugs, food and other equipment that we will need to care for orphans.
  
• We need donations of good quality Hutches that we can use to give out to our foster carers, so that they can care for overwintering Hedgehogs once they have finished treatment and gained some weight.
  
• We need foster carers to take on some of these older Autumn Orphans and care for them whilst they overwinter.
  
• We need suitable gardens as release sites (suitable means where there are already hedgehogs visiting). Please note that we will not place hedgehogs where there is a dog in residence.

If you live in the local area and think that you can help us with our Hedgehog Appeal, please get in touch
