Rescue!!! :)

We came home today and as we walked past our rubbish bags our dog went crazy. Imoved one of the bags and found that a hedgehog had got caught in the loop of the tie top bin bag He had obviously struggled and it was wrapped all around him


I managed to cut the plastic and untangle him and we decided to bring him inside to release later tonight when it was dark




Turns out it looks like he has a bad/broken leg - so we are holding on to him until tomorrow when a rescue can take him to a vet and get him fixed up.

Because he is staying i moved him into our Deluxe suite

Re: Rescue!!! :)

watch Rob....

those wee guys are usually riddled with lice

my dog had an allergic reaction after being bitten by hedge hog lice,it looked like someone had put 20 golf balls under her skin,she had lumps everywhere until she got a jag at the vets

nice rescue none the less mate

cheers shaun

the rescue has an agreement with a vet to treat for free, the vet will set and splint the leg and then "Prickles" (my daughter named him - OH NO!!) will go and live at the rescue until he is healed.

If he is heavy enough he wil be released this winter, if not they will house him until spring and then release him

Re: Rescue!!! :)

That's an awesome rescue! Do you think since it seems to be fairly healthy and doesn't appear to have some nasty little creatures living on it that it could have been someone's pet that managed to escape? I don't know if they're legal in your country but here they're legal to keep in most places.

I do hope his leg isn't broken badly and he heals quickly!
