If you find a sick or injured hedgehog in your garden, put on gardening gloves and install it in a cardboard box with a heatpad, some water and meaty cat food. This is the advice from the British hedgehog society.
Then call a local volunteer, and hopefully they come and help.
Edie looked dead when we first find her, but a few hours of warmth livened her up a bit. Hoping that she makes a full recovery and is brought back soon.

Awww how cute! We found a hedgehog when we were little. Poor thing with ridden with fleas. We called someone to come and get him but never heard what happened to him.
Am really hoping that we’ll get this one back, we think she’s lived here at least a couple of years, and we’re rather fond of her. She didn’t seem to have any fleas, which should be a good sign apparently.
aw, they are such cute critters, especially when they start scuttling round at night.
Sadly have just got the call saying Edie didn’t make it. Am trying to hope that our intervention at least means that she didn’t die in pain.
Cute, but 🙁
Am sad to hear the hedgehog didnt make it but what some lovely advice with how to try and maintain its life that little bit longer.
Need support for your home ed journey? Looking for tutoring for your young person? Have an idea for a collaboration? I’d love to hear from you!
After 20+ years of home educating my four children (two now adults), I’ve gathered a wealth of experience that I’m passionate about sharing. Beyond blogging and guest writing, I offer several services designed to support families on their home education journey.
I’ve put together a collection of resources that I’ve genuinely found useful over the years—things that have actually made a difference in our home education. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to freshen things up, there’s something here to help. These are the tools, guides, and materials I’d recommend to a friend, because they work.
