Not for profit hedgehog rescue based in Westhoughton.

Another two releases yesterday as Flossy and Jonno both started their lives out in the wild. Both will be treated like royalty by @GingerWildheart and I couldn't think of a better place for them to be. ❤️🦔❤️

[The_hoggery @thehoggery]

@GingerWildheart Excellent news!!

[The_hoggery @thehoggery]

Massive congratulations to Josh Kerr and Keely Hodgkinson who both won gold last night at the Indoor world championships. We have sibling hogs named after them both, so here is our Josh showing off his gold medal.

Please welcome Andy to the gang. 340g of cuteness overload. He was found out in the day lying in the sun so I suspect I'll find internal parasites in his poop. Welcome little man!

‘Scuse me but would you be my valentine?

[The_hoggery @thehoggery]

Bayley continues to be very cute indeed! He's also nosy and will appear when I'm in the shed. This is common with hand reared hogs. Once he goes for soft release his wild instincts will kick in. We always make sure hogs know 'how to hedgehog' before releasing to the wild.

Such an old girl - but so beautiful. Just look at that open eye. She wasn't keen on having her photo taken tonight but I'm so proud of her.

[The_hoggery @thehoggery]

🦔 Olive update!
She came in after her home was strimmed, absolutely terrified, with neurological issues, shaking and unable to stand properly. I was really worried for her. But she’s improving. 💚
Not a young hog… but such a determined one.
Keep going, Olive. 🤍✨

I think this is the hedgehog equivalent of sticking one foot out of the duvet! Expertly demonstrated by Dylan :)#hedgehog

Give a gift, help a hog. Every penny raised goes directly to helping the hedgehogs in our rescue.
Thank you

[The_hoggery @thehoggery]

This little girl is a new admission this afternoon. Spotted walking by a road in Horwich. Looking at her poop she definitely has internal parasites so I'll be starting treatment this evening once she's settled in. Only problem is that she doesn't have a name yet! Over to you!

[The_hoggery @thehoggery]

Your bonfire is the perfect home for a hedgehog. PLEASE move it before you light it and save a life this bonfire night. Thank you.

Josh and Keely came into rescue this evening after being spotted in a garden earlier today. Those fleas are just some of the ones that came off them! Remember hedgehog fleas can't live on anything other than a hedgehog, and are usually only found on poorly hogs. #TeamHedgehog

[The_hoggery @thehoggery]

Good luck Hallie!
Beautiful Hallie is back in the wild tonight after a few months stay in rescue. Stay safe gorgeous girl. #TeamHedgehog

[The_hoggery @thehoggery]

Sabrina was first up for her food tonight. She's a gorgeous girl and a real character……in fact she seem to be a budding gymnast! I'll share the proof tomorrow! #hedgehog

Welcome to new admission Sabrina who came into rescue last night. She was cold and dehydrated but has eaten well overnight.

OK, so she isn't quite tucked up in bed with a brew - but the hedgehog equivalent.
