@hedgehogsociety For years I have kept an area in my front garden, next to the wall and under the buddleia, bay trees and rosemary bushes, where I pile the leaves every autumn/winter. It is sheltered and undisturbed. I haven't seen hedgehogs going in or out but maybe one day I will be rewarded!

π¦π Happy #WorldAnimalDay! ππ¦Did you know hedgehogs have around 5,000β7,000 spines? They roll into a spiky ball for protection, but they rely on us to keep their habitats safe. Let's all remember - the world is their home too.πΏ #Tiggywinkles #WildlifeRescue

Sadly she has passed away overnight π.... #hedgehog
Still closed ...yeah right πIf you ever see a #hedgehog doing this it's an EMERGENCY!π ...please secure, put on a direct heat source, (heat pad, hot water bottle or similar), & call a rescue, a warm room or blanket will not be enough to reverse the hypothermia - she's critical
