Yesterday and this morning I've had lots of calls about hedgehogs seen out during the day.
Please make no mistake, this is an emergency.
A hedgehog out in the day is seriously ill and needs 𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 treatment from a rescue (never a vet).
These are hedgehogs who have risen from hibernation too early, because there wasn't enough natural food around in the autumn for them to gain sufficient fat to make it through hibernation until the spring.
There's NO natural food around now, so they've been forced to eat contaminated parasite-laden food like slugs, and are now critically ill.
As a stage of dying they've become hypothermic so are seeking warmth and are often seen on roads, car parks, paving and paths, as these surfaces hold the the sun's heat longer than soil or grass.
Feeding them won't fix them.
They need treatment URGENTLY.
Please take them straight to a good rescue.

@Fortnums I’ve been so disappointed by your horrendous customer service - can’t actually get service as no one answers your WhatsApp, online chat or the form. How can I actually
Speak to someone to get my
Money back for something you didn’t bother delivering please?!
@Fortnums Did as you asked and no reply on here either. I’ll do a chargeback with the bank. Hopefully if enough people do it, the changes you get via penalties will make you do better.
@HedgehogCabin is this the sound of a dreaming hedghog or is she chatting to young? Never heard any noises before in the daytime so I’m baffled! Help ❤️
@Freshfieldsresc I can take these two as I already have a very established little community in my garden. They wouldn’t be kept in my garden however and would be free to leave as @HedgehogCabin said. I’m in Essex but can travel to collect.
The Wrexham story is wild.
• Bought for $2.5 million
• Produced docu-series on FX
• Added 2M+ social media followers
• Signed sponsorships with United, Expedia, etc.
And now they've been promoted in BACK-TO-BACK seasons for the first time in the club's 159-year history.
Sadly, as a Glaswegian and with a juvenile and medical school influenced sense of humour that 60 years on this earth hasn’t tamed, I laughed at this. I laughed lots. Sorry.
Very sad to hear Ted Baker going into administration. I used to get quite a lot of my on-air jackets from there, and in the early days it was at the cutting edge of marketing.
Though in truth I stopped in the last few years as I felt it'd lost its way a bit in the offering - sadly looks like i wasn't the only way to feel that. My thoughts with the staff - I hope their jobs will be secured.
Also in the Alabama ruling on frozen embryos is this:
“Doctors must create just one embryo at a time. Each embryo, no matter how poor its quality, must be transferred. Only one embryo may be transferred at a time. If the cycle fails, the whole process must start all over again.
IVF patients would have to accept the transfer of a single low-quality embryo that is certain to fail—and to do so one embryo at a time. Each transfer requires months’ worth of expensive medication, including injectable, both before and after the procedure. And each failed cycle requires the patient to start all over again. Most states (including Alabama) do not require insurance to cover IVF, and each cycle can cost up to $30,000. This would force patients—the ones who can afford it—to undergo doomed, single-embryo transfers, one by one.”
If you know ANYONE who has been through IVF, you know exactly how fucking cruel this is.
NEW: For the first time ever, our six London Overground lines are each getting a new name and colour.

@HedgehogCabin Thanks so much Pauly. He lives right near the food station so he walks not far to bed! Looks healthy and I always check for mess. Thank you so much ❤️
