WTF 
Woohoo...well done Mrs d !Omg I got the news back today about the financing for my online university enrolment, it usually takes up to 2 months! They’ve approved my application and are going to pay for my studies
Anyone know anything about hedgehogs? I've nipped to the garage to pop fuel in the car and this poor thing is just sitting there.
Do you have digital scales? Weigh it first, it shouldn’t be out during the day but might be trying to bulk for winter. Turn it on its back, it’ll curl up, is it rugby or football shaped? If rugby it’s starving, and likely dehydrated so will need to get to a rescue. Get it in a box warm, with just water at the minute x
I'll grab cat meat and dog meat, and I'll take it home for the night, I doubt any rescue centres will do anything, I've taken birds in before and they've refused to collect them, but I'll give them a call.
Get advice from a rescue first before feeding! I rescued hogs for a few years, if feeding it, give kitten biscuits (Tesco’s go down well), or meaty cat food, they usually don’t like fish (it won’t hurt them). Pop a water bottle with tap warm water (don’t boil) in box and wrap bottle up, it’ll go to the heat if it wants to.
Fleas on hedgehogs are host specific so don’t need worry about other pets thankfully. They do absolutely stink’ I had cages in my shed with a heater for them. I still get the odd one but can’t give subcut fluids anymore as haven’t the equipment now x

Vets sadly tend to just put to sleep
@Witchy_woowoo @I'm snail not a slug I've taken the hedgehog to the vets they're going to release it once it's healthy, thank you for all your advice, though. I'll know what to do for next time i come across one.

I would have 100% brought it home but thank god I didn't have to because I'm just no good with smells.My neighbour a few years ago had one. She had to take a pic of it next to a can of beans (I guess to see what size/age it was. And yes their poop stinks!! The worst I've ever smelt even parvo puppies don't stink as much as hedgehogs
No, please don't say that.Was just going to post this

I'll end up going back there and asking for it back. They said they'd look after it and release it as they'd had another 3 brought in.
I'm back kinda, reading more but I don't know how often I'll comment. Im doing better thanks hope you're well

I saw after I sent posts lol
glad it’s going to be released. It didn’t look very big which was why I’d said to weigh it

I get people to think of Orange, potatoes grapefruit etc to guess age and size
their poop is RANCID, that’s why I had my shed heated and heat mats for them. The odd time I’ve had in house is 
babies being hand fed aren’t bad, so never minded the babies lol
No, please don't say that.

Yeah they have to tell you the truth, so you’ve obviously got a good vet there xx
