Jayne Griffiths, runs a small and relatively new hedgehog rescue set up the service to \u2018help hogs in the Yorkshire area\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Miss Griffiths explained, \u2018I work very closely with the local vet to identify any issues that arise.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The hog rescuer said, \u2018you need to make space for hedgehogs and make space for nature. Make your gardens more messy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Don\u2019t do your gardening too early in the year and be especially careful with power tools and spades.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bruce said that if you are fortunate enough to have a pond, \u2018ensure it is hedgehog friendly by putting in a ramp to ensure they can get in and out.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n What should I do if I see an injured hedgehog? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tiggywinkles, which is a British animal welfare charity and wildlife hospital, said \u2018Hedgehogs are nocturnal and only come out at night. Generally, any hedgehog out during the day is probably in trouble and will need to be picked up and taken to a wildlife rescue centre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2018You can pick them up using gardening gloves and put them into a cardboard box, although they are good climbers, so you would need to ensure they cannot escape.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leave out the right food<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n People have often thought that you should be leaving out bread and milk for the hedgehogs, Miss Bruce told us \u2018You can create hedgehog feeding stations and minimise the risk of them being used by other species that are less desirable to some people, like rats, by leaving out some water, and some dog or cat food. Which shouldn\u2019t be fish flavoured.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tiggywinkles say that, \u2018Hedgehogs are lactose intolerant so milk can make them very ill and should never be offered.\u2019 The hogs eat invertebrates, so if you keep your garden full of bugs and insects the hedgehogs will thrive as it is their natural diet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sheffield College has won an award for its hedgehog protections measures.
