Terms and Conditions
A large percentage of the hedgehogs we have brought to us are returned to the garden they were found in, the guidelines from the British Hedgehog Preservation Society state that hedgehogs should be returned back to where they came from where possible.
We will only release hedgehogs where there is already an existing population, which is within the guidelines set out by the BHPS, if there is not a population there will be a reason for that.
When feeding in the garden we must remember that this is support feeding, we are not trying to replace their natural feeding.
We recommend feeding the following
Meaty Cat food
Cat Biscuits
Specialist meat based hedgehog food such as Brambles or Vale Hedgehog Food
A shallow bowl of water
Mealworms
Peanuts
Sunflower Hearts,
Dried Fruit
Eggs
Cooked / Raw meat
Processed foods such as cakes etc
The foods that are listed to avoid are due to the effects they can have on the health of the hedgehog
The only time the public have access to the hospital part of the rescue is on our 2 open days each year in May and September. Please see our events page for more information.
