Every Hole Is  A Goal .
A small 6x6 inch hole under your fence or wall can be so rewarding .
Have a word with your neighbour .
Hedgehogs can travel up to 2 kilometers a night in search of a mate or food.

Oh bloody hell , is it Autumn ?
Oh well, there's plenty of Earth Worms under here somewhere.

Who's afraid of the big bad Hog ?
Not my girl ......

Hibernation

Hedgehog Tick (Ixodes hexagonus) showing mouth parts , anus and spiracular plate .
These pesky blood suckers can grow to a fair size (15mm) when fully grown. They are not life threatening unless infestations occur usually around the eyes and ears especially in ill Hedgehogs. They should be removed if possible with tweezers . Twist slightly and pull as not to leave mouth parts behind which can become infected.   
Hedgehogs are NOT infested with fleas . In fact your domestic Dog or Cat usually carry more !!. 
Fleas that do occur are host specific (ie do not transfer to other Mammals) .

Autumn Hoglets .
Being born in the Autumn has it's downfalls. Making them the most vulnerable to undernourishment as natural food resources decline. Juveniles need as much help as they can get to gain the 600 gram weight required for hibernation. 30.08.14
