CURRENT HEDGEHOG SEASONAL ADVICE
Hedgehogs are now entering the breeding season, so nests are regularly found under sheds / decking, in compost bags, in BBQ covers, Tarpaulins, and in hedgehog houses. Please be aware when starting any work in the garden during the spring and summer months that nests could have hoglets in it. If you have found a nest and it can stay in place please leave it, if the nest has been destroyed or needs moving please call us for advice.
At this time of the year, Hedgehogs will come out in the day if unwell or injured, but also if a pregnant or feeding mum, for more information please see our Found A Hedgehog Page.
Please note that we are unable to offer visits to the hospital or show hedgehogs to visitors. Open days are the only times we allow the public into the hospital area of the building. Our next open day will be on 18th August 2024 - 11am - 5pm
