This is baby Nately. Found out in the day, so already dying, and taken home by the finder. A wonderful, kind, and compassionate act. But then the good intentions went bad. Instead of getting him straight to a rescue to be treated urgently, as the emergency that he, and any other hedgehog seen out in the day time is, he was kept. So poor Nately had to continue suffering the pain, and now the additional fear and stress of captivity, until the children came home from school, so they could see him and be entertained. But then his torment wasn't finished - Nately had to endure more precious wasted hours, as he struggled to stay alive, until the finder's husband came home from work and he could be exhibited again. Finally, that evening, he was taken - to a vet. Vets are for domestic animals only, they are not wildlife trained, and most will just PTS wildlife. Fortunately for Nately it was my lovely vets, who are professional enough, and humble enough to know the only safe option for Nately was to refer him straight to a rescue, so called me to see if I would take him. Nately has made it through the night but his outlook is very poor indeed, because of this delay. He is emaciated, and utterly overwhelmed by internal parasites. The finder knew enough to know that a hedgehog out in the day is seriously ill, so needs help. I have no doubt that had Nately cried, the finder would keep up her good intentions and treat him like any other sick animal, by getting him help immediately, as her kindness is evident. But sick wild prey animals don't vocalise their distress. A cry of pain from a prey animal in the wild would be: "Hey! HEY! I'm hurt and sick and too weak to put up a fight. Anyone want to come and eat me?" They don't lie around looking sick, for the same reason. Instead they hide their weakness, struggle on, suffer their pain in silence. They eat when food is offered, because they never know when that might happen again. Please don't mistake this desperate survival tactic as being 'quite happy, running around, eating'. A hedgehog out in the day is an emergency, they are dying - please always get them to a rescue urgently.

Oh good, well done Nicola, thank you. If she is continuing to abuse this hedgehog this way please notify the local police wildlife crimes officer, and the RSPCA. You can also contact the local council if you have her details, and asks for the wildlife welfare officer to visit her premises. Oh my gosh please get her stopped! Doing this in ignorance is bad enough. Continuing when the harm and cruelty has been explained is unforgiveable.

@HedgehogCabin @wildtierhilfeKG I have relayed this info to her - thank you. How far should I take it being illegal to keep a blind hog captive? She has recent photo at coffee morning & today at event photo'd with someone dressed up as the grinch. Vids of hog exercising during day in garden with a dog. 💔

Oh no, that is incredibly cruel, unethical and illegal. Please do explain that to her. That poor creature will be terrified, and so agonisingly stressed every minute she's in captivity and being horribly exploited like this. And to teach children that it's okay to abuse, exploit and handle a wild animal like this, and keep them captive, is so incredibly harmful, with massive knock-on effects. Blind hogs can be released to the wild and cope just the same as sighted hogs. Their eyesight is poor, and it's their other senses they use to survive, and night and day smell and sound completely different. Any rescue will deal with flystrike, it happens daily. Please do warn this person and get this poor hedgehog free from her prison and back in the wild.

@HedgehogCabin @wildtierhilfeKG Oh gosh, our local rescue in Northwich has a blind hog who goes on school visits 😫. On the other hand, she is the only person around who will help a young hog with flystrike. Sits heavily that I sent her £20 donation for helping a friend before I saw her 'circus' hog on fb.

Yes, small rescues are closing - it's really hard work (mentally, emotionally and physically), costs A LOT of money, and is completely time consuming. Plus, now we face daily abuse online and on the phone - the final nail for a lot of rescues. Big rescues are going down the 'circus route' - exploiting animals in their care and justifying it because the income helps treats sick animals. And the internet is flooded with bad advice and wrong information from large well trusted, well funded sources who do not exercise a duty of care because their primary aim is financial. But if enough good kind people help, by encouraging and supporting their local rescues (and not just when they need to use them), online and IRL, and help spread good accurate information, we can make a huge difference to the lives of these precious little animals.🥰

@HedgehogCabin My friend took a flyblown baby 🦔 to a rescue in Northwich last wk. This rescue keeps a blind hog & takes it visiting to schools. She has children visiting & handling recovering hogs. Surely not legal? But then, she did pick every fly egg off baby who would surely have died. 😔

This poor sad, depressed girl is Elodie. She's been so badly treated; used and exploited, by the very place her finder thought she could trust - a large wildlife rescue. Originally taken to the rescue because the finder heard her coughing, the rescue commented how well she looked, how lovely her skin was. Then said she'd have to stay with them for 6 weeks. That was 7th August. And that was, unknown to the finder, the first big red flag. Even the longest treatment (lungworm) is completed in just 3 weeks. Six weeks later the finder called, wanting to take Elodie home. She was told that Elodie had just given birth, and that she would have to stay another 6 weeks, in order to wean them. That was the second big red flag, and one that made the finder grow suspicious. Elodie had just given birth. Gestation is 5 weeks. Yet she'd been in care at the rescue for 6 weeks. By law, as they are a solitary animal, they must be housed alone in a rescue. Becoming increasingly worried, and unable to wait the full 6 weeks, her finder called 5 weeks later, asking when she could collect Elodie and her babies. She was told the babies had been rehomed, and that they couldn't come home with her as "it's not good to have too many hedgehogs in one place". Despite this one place being their home, the place where their mother lives and has immunity to the pathogens there, and where they would be cared and provided for daily. The finder was extremely upset, but powerless to do anything, except ask that Elodie be returned to her. The rescue said she could have Elodie back, but warned her that she still had a cough and wasn't well. The finder then contacted me. I rang the rescue and was told lie after lie. They tried saying Elodie had a cough because she had 'scarred lungs' from lungworm infection. This is utter nonsense. Hedgehogs don't get scarred lungs (It's a human condition of the elderly, caused by Pulmonary Fibrosis - a lung disease where tissues tear and then thicken over the years). I have heard this made-up excuse many times from bad rescues who have not treated the hedgehog with the correct drugs, and don't know how to effect a cure for the simplest chest complaints, and have no medical knowledge (so assume no one else does). I said the finder had asked me for a second opinion and I would be admitting Elodie and examining her. The rescue refused to transfer her care to me. They said they would only release her to her finder. So the following day, as arranged, the finder's brother drove the 45mins to the rescue to pick up Elodie. The rescue suddenly changed their mind. They turned him away, saying they'd just discovered Elodie had lungworm and were going to treat her, and she would need to stay another 7 to 10 days. This poor, poor girl, this gentle helpless little animal had now been held captive, unwell, in terrible cramped conditions, untreated, for 10 weeks. When your life expectancy is 3 years, 10 weeks is an eternity. And she had been forced to give birth then had her babies taken from her. (There are people who will pay to have a hedgehog in their garden. They don't want to do the work of putting out food and attracting one naturally, just want one as a finishing ornament. I get requests like this every single week of the year. I'm offered a 'substantial donation' for a baby hedgehog.) Yesterday, poor sweet Elodie was finally released and was brought straight here. The rescue refused to give any details of the drugs she's been given, so I can't give any for at least 2 weeks, for fear of overdosing her. She's the sweetest girl, but is lifeless. Flat, depressed, not even curling up when lifted. Her skin is a mess of ringworm. But she is safe now. And she has a huge pen and will be rehabilitated and returned home when well. At one o'clock this morning she was still traumatised from her ordeal and hadn't left her bed. I gently took her out and showed her the food and water. And I will be speaking to the rescue's manager and trustees. And if they don't agree to change their ways and convince me this won't happen again, I will be releasing their name to their benefactors and the charity commission. For now, welcome to your new home, Elodie.❤️
