Two dear little hedgehogs, who were brought into a rescue I mentor, and who were expertly nursed back to health and released, were found dead yesterday.
Poisoned.
The devastated finder had no idea that compost bins are dangerous to animals (and can be to humans too) and should always be kept closed to prevent animals having access.
Decomposing organic matter in a compost bin can contain fungi which produce neurotoxins called tremorgenic mycotoxins.
These naturally occurring substances are highly toxic to both humans and animals.
Although the contents are deadly, the invertebrates the compost attracts make it very inviting to the insectivore hedgehog, who trusts it as a source of food and shelter.
The compost bin will be particularly attractive during the winter as it can provide a warm dry place to nest.
Very few people realise that consuming even a small amount of compost containing these mycotoxins can be deadly, and there is no cure for this poisoning.
Often people who find unexplained dead hedgehogs in their garden have no idea it was their open compost bin which was to blame.
⚠ If you or your neighbours have a compost bin, please ensure it is safe and inaccessable to wildlife, and your pets.

The bright flashes and loud bangs of #fireworks can be exciting and fun for us but, for our #cats, they can be confusing and frightening 🎆😿
This is because it’s difficult for them to understand that they aren’t in danger when they hear or see them ⚠️
Read our Vets' advice 🐾
It's coming..🎃🐱
Our advice is to keep cats indoors on Halloween, especially black cats.
Black cats so often go missing on #Halloween because of pranks or for other nasty reasons. It's better to be safe than sorry. #Caturday
The Animals (Low-Welfare Activities Abroad) Bill devised and driven by STAE right through to King Charles granting Royal Assent means callous travel companies must now beware their cruel practices. Short outline of the Act and its global importance here: https://t.co/dnK9mIx9VR
It’s almost fireworks season here in the U.K. Animals hate fireworks, so if you love animals perhaps consider a donation rather than buy them.
Almost nearing our target 🙏🏻

Hedgehog suffers strummer wound.
Please, if you’ve got to strim your garden think about the wildlife living in the long grass (better still, leave some long grass and help the wildlife)
