Quick update
Well, boys and girls, be careful what you wish for. Just a couple of weeks back I was moaning to a friend of mine that The Wildlife Rescuer hadn't really taken off and I was wasting my money getting equipment and I should delete my webpage...
I've just received my 4th hedgehog call in the space of a week!
Apparently there's a lady not far from where I live giving out my number... I have no idea who she is but I guess all I can say is thank you!
I've only taken in 2 of the 4 hedgehogs. Sonic, as you know and Cyril, who I passed on to another centre today as he was very underweight and not responding to my basic first aid. I've never claimed to be anything but an animal paramedic and I think keeping him here would've been for my ego rather than his own good. Best he goes to somebody with more knowledge than I who could take good care of him 24/7.
The other 2 hedgehogs, as they were not emergencies, I did not bring back to TWR towers, because I only have 1 cage currently, which I need free for emergency patients.
So, you may be asking yourselves why so many hedgehogs? Well, hedgehogs should be starting to hibernate around now and because of the mild weather a lot are just not doing this. Also, a lot of late babies have been born, which means they are not big enough to hibernate. I anticipate that it's gonna get worse before it gets better. Still, it's giving me experience and it's getting my name out there so I'm a happy bunny!
All the best guys
