There are lots of late born baby hedgehogs around at the moment.
If they are out at night, that's fine. Please leave them be, out in the wild, and provide what they need - clean water and a dish of dry kitten food each night. There's plenty of time for them to grow and you will be a life saver.
If they are out in the day, they are sick with internal parasites. They may not look sick, but they are ALL in need of professional assessment and life saving treatment, so please take them to a rescue (NOT a vet) immediately. Every hour of delay reduces their chance of survival.
You can't love or feed a sick hedgehog better, and they aren't a DIY project. They are a precious wild animal on the endangered list and they will be in pain. So please do the right thing and get them the help they need.
Special delivery from @RoyalMail#hamble postie today π£ found on his rounds (trolly token for scale). Everything crossed for this little ones survival. Now in the care of a wildlife rehabilitator. ππ€#Wildlifewednesday

Keep those Christmas chocolates out of your pets reach! Chocolate is poisonous to pets and dogs are usually the main culprits. Always consult your vet if your pet ingests any amount. #dogsoftwitter

A lot of rabbit owners are sadly unaware that rabbits need a lot more space than a commercial rabbit hutch has to offer.
