The baby hedgehogs are still having their bottle feed every two hours and they are much easier to handle now. Three of them, Biggie, Huffie and Woody, have their eyes open. The two little ones are obviously much younger and their eyes are still tight shut. It doesn’t stop them moving around […]
It’s only a little tablet and she has one a day but this ‘magic’ medicine seems to be making all the difference. When Krystal was recently diagnosed with Cushing’s disease we were devastated. We’ve seen this awful illness in dogs and it makes them very poorly. The vet […]
It was a happy ending for a rescued kitten when she was adopted from us by a nearby cat loving family. Her new name is Millie (we called her Jazz) and she is training up her new people and already one of the beds is her favourite place. We’re told […]
Wake up little fella – it’s the time of year when hedgehogs start thinking about hibernation – but these babies have to be kept awake somehow. They are too small to hibernate and because they don’t have big enough body weight, they would just go to sleep […]
It’s like having a baby! Or rather five of them all at once. The baby hedgehogs need feeding every two hours at this stage but it is getting easier. At first they were so frightened it took a while to get them to relax and uncurl so we could try to feed […]
YES, THIS IS MISTY! Not every rescue has a happy ending – but for Misty it has been miraculoous. When she came in to us she was barely hanging on to life. She was skin and bone and what fur she had was so matted and embedded into her […]
Keeping them warm, feeding them every two hours (with a special baby animal feeding bottle), toiletting them as their mother would do if she was around and then they go back in their nest. Minnie (shown here) is still the easiest to feed and handle, she uncurls easily but this may […]
You might think all baby hedgehogs are alike but even at this early stage they all have distinct personalities. This is Biggie, who is by far the largest of the group, twice the size of Minnie. And yet Biggie is much more shy than the others and more difficult to […]
Five baby hedgehogs have been brought in to us today. A couple took them from some teenage boys who had put them in a plastic bag and were swinging them round and chucking them about. When they told the boys to stop they answered ‘why should we, it’s only hedgehogs.’ This is a […]
FENELLA – a beautiful and gentle cat who has sadly left us to go over the Rainbow Bridge on 21st September, 2012 –R.I.P. we’ll miss you so much little lady……. Fenella came in to the sanctuary nearly eighteen years ago. She was a young adult, extremely beautiful and with a wonderful temperament. Fenella had a […]
