Meet Herbert the Hedgehog

Last week Kelsie and Brendan found a little hedgehog on the side of the road who did not seem quite right so they bought him home. He came known as Herbert and he turned out to be a little boy.

We quickly read our little Hedgehog Rescue book and fixed him a bed with a hot water bottle and towel as was recommended. We also gave him lots of water and cat food.

He ate lots of food and then had a long nap. The next day he seemed better and was running around the room when we let him out to play however after this he seemed to go into a deep sleep that he never came out of. Unfortunately we found him dead the following morning in his bed.

It was very sad that he did not make it but we are happy we could give him a feed, warm bed and love in his final days.
