Above is a little bunch of roses from our garden to thank the lovely Mary for all her good work helping our one eyed, resident hedgehog, Nelson. My neighbour and I kept spotting him wandering around in the day which is a sure sign that things are not good. I spoke to Mary and she said that it can mean that the hedgehog can't consume enough through the night. Nelson looked very thin and small and had a rather nasty looking lump in his eye. We managed to catch him and, with the help of three excitable children, took him to the hedgehog hospital!
He's been there of six weeks, had his eye treated and was fed up (with food, not bored!). He he is on his return!!
Isn't he beautiful? We put him in the hedgehog house with a mountain of mealworms... Sometimes we hear him snuffling about in the evening if we wander about in our garden which is nice. Just call me Kate Humble.
Nelson's bijoux residence....
Hi, your close up of the hedgehog came up on a google search for hedgehog houses. it looked like the biggest hedgehog ever! We have just taken a hedgehog in for the winter, and he seems to be doing well so far - eating, pooping and sleeping.
ReplyDeleteHope your hedgehog is still well!
