This is the little vole I saw tonight, on a mission to eat as many dog rose petals as possible. I gathered them up and set them in front of him like a banquet. He was very pleased with them. He’s so cute with his tucked in ears.

Last day of my teaching career: 30 years, ended with a pandemic and a retirement gift of face mask and sanitiser amongst other lovely things. When I started, it was all chalk and talk. And I preferred it then. But the children haven’t changed. Always a joy. 😊

It turned out the hog (180g) was soaked through, very cold, & had a facial abscess. Popped straight in an incubator to get warm, hopefully he has a good chance now. The moral of the story is please, if you find a hedgehog, take advice from a good rescue, like

For the first time since I’ve been feeding hedgehogs, I’ve seen a young one in the garden. It’s eating Purina kitten and then it had a long drink of water. And then it scooted off into the bushes. 10.10pm tonight.

Hedgehog update
@HedgehogCabin
- on little Ilse - the hog who was blind in one eye, with an ear abscess and a broken jaw. The vet popped a stitch in her jaw and at long last she is IMPROVING! This is down to the tireless efforts of my local rescue where I live. So so happy 🥰

This very grainy picture shows a hedgehog, out last night, in probably -5°, looking for food. Pleased to say it had a hearty meal from my Christmas present from MrP, which was a Riverside feeding station, and left a very healthy looking poo, too.

I drove 27 miles to collect this poor little hog this morning. Blown by a leaf blower at the hospital, the gardener passed it to an outpatient, who took it home, and rang my local rescue. It’s lost many spines, and has fleas, ticks, ?mange and ringworm. 🥹

Hedgehog visits at 9.30pm, 10.30pm, 1am, 3.30am, and 5.45 am last night. That’s the usual pattern. A dish of kitten biscuits from Tesco at 75p a box and a dish of fresh water, and everyone’s fed and happy 😊

I’m sure the nurse meant well and meant to help - they can’t know everything - it’s only since following you, Pauly, that I’ve learned so much about how poorly hedgehogs can be and yet they still ball up - I knew the rescue would be the right place for this little baby one 🦔

Hedgehog news: not good. My poor rescued hedgehog who we thought was blind has lost one eye and was losing weight. Turns out she also had an ear abscess and a broken jaw. This was only seen on X-ray a couple of days ago. It’s not good

They had some earth tremors didn’t they, but didn’t understand the meaning of them as making an eruption more likely. And it was the gases that killed them, I think, wasn’t it? The ones who fled immediately would’ve survived.

It puzzles me that this hedgehog didn’t munch on the spider that’s crawling on him - but I suppose it wouldn’t make much of a mouthful - I’ve seen beetles cross the feeder and be ignored too. Maybe they don’t eat spiders 🕷️
