If you find a hedgehog in need of help outside of the rescues opening hours:

  • Use a pair of gardening gloves or an old towel to scoop the hedgehog up and place it in a high sided box.

  • Provide a blanket/towel or torn newspaper, the hedgehog will feel much safer if it is covered over.

  • Fill an empty plastic bottle or milk carton with warm tap water, seal it, and place it in beside the hedgehog to act as a little hot water bottle - it’s important this is only a gentle heat and that the hedgehog can move away from it if it wants to.

  • Provide a shallow dish or saucer of water.

  • Call your local vet. You will be transferred to the vets hospital branch or advised of the out of hours procedure.

    There is NO CHARGE to a member of the public for taking a wild animal into the vets, they will be able to triage over the phone and if required admit the hedgehog providing stabilisation care and pain relief before getting in touch with their nearest rescue the next day.
