Cooper arrived late yesterday with large puncture wound that was very smelly and teeming with maggots. Flystrike is a painful and often fatal condition caused by flies laying eggs on another animal. The eggs hatch into maggots which eat their 'hosts' flesh. The cycle happens very quickly so its imperative animals are treated with urgency.
Coppers wound was flushed and treated and he has settled over night. He's is a good weight so we are hopeful he will recover well.

A big thank you to everyone who offered help of transport last night. The Cooper family brought him to us in the end. They waited for Dad to get in from work and then sprung on him that he had a hedgehog rescue mission to do! #superdad

Project Photobooth!📸
We struggle sometimes to get pictures of the animals, especially wildlife, that are good enough quality to share with you. We don't have the luxury of professional photographer but we know how much you love updates. So we put our creative heads together and 'Project Photobooth' was created yesterday from a cardboard box and some white emulsion! We just need a light source to help eliminate the shadows....if you have any affordable recommendations we'd love to hear from you.
Candy and Floss the chicks enjoyed modelling for us this morning. Read their story here⤵️💛⤵️

TITCH THE TINY HEDGEHOG.🦔
Titch was brought in today from Bolsover by a kind gentleman who was very rightly worried by the size of his spikey garden visitor. Titches teeth and spine development estimates him to be around 5weeks old but his weight is more that of a two week old hoglet. He would definitely not have survived much longer without human intervention so this little fighter is now resting on a heat pad in our wildlife hospital and will be given the 5* treatment he deserves. Titch will stay with us along with many other underweight hedgehogs over winter until their release in the spring.

If you would like to support the hedgehogs in our care there are several ways you can help...

Our Wildlife Hospital is still busy with new patients arriving every day. Dave the young Pigeon was brought to us by Wildlife Angels at Derbyshire Constabularys CID department a few days ago. He had been horrifically attacked by other birds after fallen from his nest.
Dave's injuries have cleaned up well but he is still struggling to eat so for now food is being offered by syringe. We are however hopeful he will recover with time and proper care.🧡💙💛

Mucca the Kestrel came to us in the week after being found on a muck heap cold, wet, hunched up and unable to fly. After being warmed and a really good clean around his beak Mucca managed to eat a little bit of food. He continues to improve little bit more each day.

Tuxedo Kittens....🖤🤍
These 4 week old feral kittens came to the centre over the weekend. Covered and fleas and ticks on arrival but now eating well and feeling much better after being treated. They will be put on a worming program to deal with any internal parasites too. We hope that with plenty of handling and cuddles from our team that these little spitfires will soon come round.

Release day for Spiro the Sparrow Hawk.💙💛🧡

Back in September Spiro was seen sitting quietly on a garden fence in Totley, Sheffield. Spiro seemed so tame the gentleman thought it must be a captivebred bird. Spiro wasn't captive bred...but starved and dehydrated and very weak.
Once at the centre and a few meals down his fighting spirit soon returned. Caring for a wild sparrow hawk that is feeling good is quite a challenge despite human contact being kept to an absolute minimum. He definitely felt happy to be free once more.

Sonic, George, Baby Harry, Sausage and many more young hedgehogs that have been brought to us recently. Some with injuries, others hungry and underweight. Hedgehogs that come to us underweight this time of year will stay with us over winter. We will keep them warm and continue feeding them in the hope that they will then not feel the need to hibernate. Without enough fatstore a hedgehog would not survive hibernation.

Would you like to support the hedgehogs over winter?

The mystery of the young Chicks...
Candy and Floss both arrived yesterday. One was found in Wingerworth and the other around the Derby road area. They were both freezing cold, wet and neither of them had much life left in them.
Thanks to the finders of these little yellow bundles of feathers and the dedicated team here at the sanctuary they warmed up well and are now eating and drinking and are generally happy little chicks.

If you have any information regarding these chicks please get in touch. 01246 455777.

Stripes was brought in by Paramedic and Wildlife Angel, Steve. Steve feeds the hedgehogs in his garden and noticed stripes something wasn't quite right with a back leg. He managed to catch stripes and clean the leg of dirt and scabs from the leg and then brought him to us. A thick band of hair had wrapped itself tightly around the leg and was cutting off the circulation. We removed the hair carefully. When an area of the body has had a trauma like this removing the torniquet can cause a rush of toxins into the blood stream. The leg was bandaged up to keep the wounds clean for a few days and allow the swelling to go down. Stripes is using his leg well and were pleased with the healing.

Fly strike has been rife all summer due the warm and wet weather and our hedgehog hospital is bursting at the seems.
These two hoglets are just a couple of our current inpatients. They were brought in looking unwell and after a quick investigation the odour quickly suggested we were dealing with fly strike. Flies are attracted to the damp, warm conditions of wounds and lay their eggs inside them. Within just a few hours these eggs will hatch into maggots causing havoc.
The videos were taken after cleaning the wounds for over 20mins already. Using mascara brushes, tweezers, cotton buds and pads the wounds were cleaned of pus, flies eggs and maggots, then flushed out with saline solution.
It took several more flushes and picking off individual maggots before we could treat the area but the hoglets are now cleaned up and in our ICU recovering well.

Another marathon tick removal session. Had the ticks been left this young hedgehog would have deteriorated quickly from Anaemia due the the scale of the infestation. Most have now been removed but we are checking her daily as we keep finding the odd one hiding between her spines. The process is a delicate one. Not only is the removal process uncomfortable for the hedgehog, we have to make sure the intire ticks is removed as if not this can cause the tick to regurgitate the blood and cause fatal blood poisoning. Thankfully this beautiful girl is now eating well as she is quite underweight. She will most likely be here for several months until we are happy with her weight gain. By this time it will almost be hibernation season.
Hedgehogs that don't reach a healthy weight before hibernation time stay with us over winter and will be released in the spring.
Taking in wildlife is often a longterm commitment from our team. We wouldn't be able to do it without your support.
Thank you to all our Wildlife Angels!

Amazing Grace's kittens are growing up fast. Thank you to everyone who donated @royalcanin_uk baby cat milk last week. Grace doesn't have much milk so we are having to supplement all her kittens to make sure they are getting enough and developing as they should. They were very underweight on arrival but are filling out nicely now and we super pleased with their progress. Grace is settling well too and putting on some condition. She's going to make someone a wonderful companion. We are so very grateful to the wonderful people that helped Grace and her kittens find us. It doesn't bare thinking of how different things would have been for Grace and her little family had they been left outside, especially in the awful weather we have had over the last few days.💙💛🧡

Our adoption process may be a little different to other organisations. We no longer accept online application forms. You must phone us in the first instance. We can then discuss what you are looking for and the kind of home you can provide. If we feel we may be able to help we will then invite you to visit the centre and go from there.
