Prickles and Pastries is our afternoon tea and hedgehog hospital visit. Ideal for a gift or just an opportunity to see inside the rescue while enjoying an afternoon tea
DUE TO THE BAD WEATHER FORECAST WE HAVE HAD SOME CANCELLATIONS – THE FOOD IS ALL PURCHASED
THE TIME SLOTS NOW ARE 1PM, 1.30PM, 2.15PM, 3PM, 3.30PM AND 4PM, the afternoon tea will be packed to take home and enjoy in the warm and dry.
We cannot risk injury or damage to equipment and we are so upset with the changes we have had to make.
If booking it will be on the old time slot (hourly), so we will email to let you know the correct time slot for your booking as it could be half an hour later than the booking
Again we’re so sorry of any inconvenience caused
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.
