Fun fact Friday 😀 Just like many mammals (primates, dolphins, lions, and more!) Hedgehogs masturbate. It is completely natural. Here's randy Ralph with a great example. Thanks Ralph... We think 🤣

Hey there! Just wanted to share some wonderful news about Herb! He’s doing amazing—putting more weight through his leg every day, and we couldn’t be happier with his progress just 10 days after his operation. 1/2

**ANNOUNCEMENT** We are delighted to say our Prickle-tastic Summer Raffle will be held on 5th July 2025 - perfectly timed for the summer holidays! We already have some amazing prizes from a number of different places including: Enjoy Fitness Studio The Brickworks Museum Amy’s hair design 1/3

With warm dry weather expected to continue, please provide shallow dishes of water for wildlife. Some hedgehogs, like Basil here, will pop out in the day for a refreshing drink if there's a dish near to where they're sleeping. So long as they're under cover+return to bed, there's no need to worry

It's going to be a warm weekend so please leave fresh water out for wildlife ☺️ #wildlife #water

Herb has had his broken leg fixed by our wonderful vet yesterday. He didn't get up last night. Likely due to all the meds he had been given for his operation. He's had some sub cut fluids this morning just to support his body whilst it metabolises the meds. #hedgehogs

Happy March! Hopefully the hedgehogs in your area are returning from hibernation! Our first back was 19th Feb and has been stuffing his face in the feeding station each night since. Have you seen any evidence of them yet where you are? Don't forget to log your hog at bighedgehogmap.org

Hedgehogs do not sunbathe so if they're sleeping or laying out in the open, are obviously injured, surrounded by flies, are trapped in netting or down a hole or are a lone hoglet... Here's first aid and contact your nearest rescue for advice or get it to one of our hedgehog knowledgeable vets

Our auction runs until Saturday 22 Feb at 8pm. Head to our group where there's certified signed Southampton FC shirts and some Chelsea FC badges www.facebook.com/share/g/15mT...

If your bins have been blown over in the storms, please check them for any cheeky hedgehogs like Harriet that may have taken shelter in there. #hedgehogs #wildlife #storm

Harry is a little monkey 🤭 +72g in 5 days. this morning his poop samples were clear of parasites. His medicine is working 😀 He's got some way to go to complete treatment, re-grow lost fur & prickles due to his ringworm infection. Keep going little lad we hope you feel a bit better #hedgehogs

Excellent news about Harry - he's now 455g up from 385g just 4 days ago He'll start his ringworm treatment tonight now he's had a few days for the medicine to work on his internal parasites #pricklypals #hedgehogs #wildlife

A little shy of the camera but Harry takes his medicine well and gained 20g overnight. 431g. You can see the effect of his fungal skin infection in these - fur loss and prickle loss as well as crusty skin. #hedgehogs #wildlife #pricklypals

Little Harry has ringworm, lungworm, roundworm and fleas. He's just shy of 400g bless him. Treatment started. He'll be having antiparasitics, antibiotics and antifungal medicine. All donations received are shared between our active members. #pricklypals #hedgehogs #wildlife

We are excited! Beautiful Poke-a-hontas has a weather window for release tomorrow 😀 🤞🏼 Her broken leg has fully healed and she's woken up from a brief hibernation period here. Hampshire Hedgehog Rescue Collective Sort code: 30-99-50 Account number: 56233362 #pricklypals #hedgehogs #wildlife

Two beautiful visitors each had a broken rear leg in September. Vets did a fantastic job with external fixations. Both girls go back to the wild to live the rest of their lives
