kenny14 656 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 i picked up a tiny hoglet one summer a couple of years ago, he was about 3-4 weeks old when i found him, spark-out on someone's driveway and about half an hour off karking it. he was so ill even the fleas had abandoned him. took him home, gave him sugar water to revive him, then fed him on cat food for a few days til i found our local petshop stocked hedgehog food. greedy little bugger, cost a mint to feed. kept him in a box in my bedroom, he'd sit on my lap while i was on the comp, and played catch with a beer bottle top. did a lovely job of getting the fluff out from under the cupboards when he got a bit bigger, and mum's nerves where shot from him escaping his box every day, he went into a rabbit hutch in the garden. gave him lots of newspaper & straw in a cardboard box, and when the weather turned colder he hibernated. i never bothered weighing him, so i just crossed my fingers that he would wake up. luckily he did, and we started his aclimatisation to the wild by putting him in the tortoise's run at night, when the tortoise was indoors. the day before he was due to go to his new home in the woods behind a local manor house, the daft bugger escaped. someone told me you can mark their spines with a bit of paint, so i gave him a blast of halfords "moondust silver" car spray a couple of days before he did a runner. when i found a squashed hedgehog on the road outside our house 6 months later, the identification was easy. getting him off was a bit harder, but a good shovel did the job. he's now buried in the flowerbed. he wasn't too impressed at being sprayed with paint, but obviously the ladies liked his "go faster stripe", as ten little hoglets were sitting in our cat food tray outside the back door not long before Dave's untimely demise. our garden has been heaving with hedghogs ever since The go faster stripe obviously didn't make 'Dave' go fast enough Sorry, couldn't resist.
