Hedgehogs,
Hedgehogs, ...... HELP!
Tiggywinkles is
seeing a huge intake of hedgehogs for overwintering
this year. We currently have over 500 hedgehogs
in the Hospital, with more flowing in daily.
Hedgehogs that are too small to hibernate
need to be remain inside and kept awake all
winter as they do not have the body fats
to sustain them through the colder months.
Many of our hedgehogs will also require a
course of lungworm treatment, which if left
untreated would kill many hedgehogs over
the winter.
It costs £111.50 to overwinter
just one little hedgehog, so the coming season
will place a huge burden on our limited funds.
Please can you help?
You can
donate via
Charity Choice
Or why not sponsor a hedgehog as a gift? |

News in brief
this month
Today
we received a kind donation from a 13
year old girl called Alanah from London.
She requested information about our hospital
and told us of how she is hoping to do
a sponsored walk around the New Forest
for us. Unfortunately she gave us no address
and we have no way of contacting her.
Alanah please send us your address so
we can thank you and send you the information
you wanted!
