urg fleas are foul lol

i wonder if every hedgehog has fleas then lol cant be very nice for them

that's correct about not de-fleaing them - many moons ago when I was a child we found a litter of baby hedgehogs - we thought we'd deflea them and sadly they all died - fleas are part of their ecology apparently

thank helen oh im doing mince meat for tea must be fate hehe

TInned cat or dog food and water is enough, although normally only sick hedgehogs are out during the day, and yes your cat can catch fleas from hedgehog but you must never put flea treatment on them. Hope this helps there is also a link ...............http://www.pro-igel.de/english/hedgehog-found.html

liz thanks for that hun i wouldnt have checked i wld hav just put what tin was open down xx

put some garlic and chips down for it

and all its fleas will emigrate

the one in my garden loves it

mines been here years so must be happy

Are there any allotments or meadows near you...............even a park would do if it is old enough to feed itself.

They are cute wee things. My cousin used to rescue them.she had to feed the babies every few hours. she would keep them till big enough to survive on their own ie right weight etc.

Stray, was reading about hedgehogs the other day, someone in our area is rearing some babies whose mother got run over.

On no account must you give them fishy type cat food, only meaty stuff, and no milk either. You could google for hedgehog rescue places in your area and ask them to come if it is still around but hopefully it will be ok, if it scuttled off to shelter when the strimmer started , it can't be too poorly.
We would love one or two here, to keep the slugs and snails down.

i ws thinking that coz iv just done a search on here and cant find nothing in my area altho there is a wnderful sight that has new born cute babies

You could phone your vet and ask him if for contacts.

Thats nasty Hayley.

HAYLEY!!!!!!!!!! thats very norty ........but tempting hah

its only a baby coz its tiny and it doesnt curl in a ball when u go near it altho its just moved but not far



eta.. next door just started a petrol strimmer up iv never seen a hog move so fast its gone to the back of the garden lol i think if its still there tomoror day tym ill ring the rspca.........gona put sum of strays food down for it later when she is in for the night

Take one garden spade........gently flip the hegdehog on to said spade......so not to hurt it.......walk to the garden fence.....and catopult the contents of your spade as far as poss....there you go...

we have a hedgehog rescue centre here in Cardiff - maybe you have one too!! and as has been said, unusual to see them in the daytime - must be poorly
