a hedgehog in front of a bin

The other day when I went out to take the bin up, I found access to it was temporarily blocked.

Isn't he just adorable!

We waited a bit before going out again and he had moved on. Quite large, so definitely not from this year. And yes, shadow in the corner is definitely my finger...

I‘m glad you have an experienced rescuer helping you too, that helps so much. We were clueless about a lot - even the flea thing - we had no idea how many fleas were on the hedgie till we took it to the lady here and she sprayed it with flea killer - it was like a mass exodus! And my husband was totally clueless what to feed it. I told him it would like wet cat food and the rescuer confirmed that. He thought it would eat fruit!

Luckily, we already knew what to feed hedgehogs, since about a month ago, we noticed one in our garden was eating bird feed and provided it with a healthier alternative. They really will eat anything in fall, when they can't find their normal food anymore (including fruit!). And the flea issue was pretty apparent to me when I first held her, because one hopped on my hand. Plus, visible ticks.

But we had no idea that we had to keep her warm, and what weight was okay. Plus, she was dehydrated, which we didn't notice either, not being experts.
