Amazing people required
Every day the hedgehogs in our care (up to eighty in the hospital area), need their pens cleaned, food and water supplying, weighing and their records updated. Many also require medication. This is a time consuming process carried out every day and for those on intensive care twice a day. We are looking for volunteers who can offer a few hours at a time on a regular basis to assist with the care routines. This will involve handling hedgehogs, weighing them and recording their weight on their patient record forms, cleaning out the pens and changing food and water.

Foster Carers
At times we can reach capacity in the rescue unit. Some hedgehogs may be now well and off medication and are simply continuing to be with us until they are a suitable weight.
Our Foster Carers help us out by looking after one or more of the healthy hedgehogs at their home, providing suitable accommodation and food until release weight is reached.
Late in the year this can involve 'overwintering' a hedgehog until spring.
You would need a quiet area away from human disturbance and activity with a hutch suitable for the hedgehog. The hutch would need to be cleaned daily and water and food provided daily. The hedgehog would need to be weighed regularly to monitor it's weight ready for release.
