THE drop in temperature has sent hedgehogs all over the country scurrying to find more food before they hibernate.
They are travelling further afield than usual ,which is why we are seeing more of them dead on the roads. To save hedgehogs from foraging across so many roads, please leave out a little,meat-based pet food and a tip-over-proof bowl of water for them. Hedgehogs need to weigh at least 600gms to survive hibernation, so every extra meal is a help.
Anyone who wishes to learn more about our society and the wide range of hedgehog goods which are sold should send a stamped addressed envelope to the address below.
