HORNBEAM WOOD HEDGEHOG SANCTUARY

The Wild British Hedgehog has been included in the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Red List for British Mammals. Their population has decreased by about 30% in urban areas and 50% in rural areas since the year 2000. As of 2020, it is estimated (PTES) that up to 335k hedgehogs are killed each year on the roads. Their habitats have been diminishing and their inability to access and travel though gardens and across roads has become in most cases, impossible. Roads create invisible barriers and also physical barriers for hedgehogs. The use of poisons like slug pellets, and intensive agricultural farming also have a part to play in their decreased populations though the loss of hedges and pesticides. --------------------------------------------------------------------- #hedgehog #cam #hoglets #wild #ukmammals #hwhs #hedgehogsanctuary #harpenden #hertfordshire #charity

In this vlog I will be going through a good task to complete in Autumn time which is cleaning out your garden hedgehog houses and feeding stations. This can be done each year around the end of September time which is a good time of the year to action this job as the hedgehogs start to think about hibernating and looking for a cozy place to spend the winter months. --------------------------------------------------------------------- HORNBEAM WOOD HEDGEHOG SANCTUARY 🦔🐾🐾🐾🐾: A family run Charity that looks after European Wild Hedgehogs.

This is "MUD". A poor hedgehog that was hibernating by the road in Harpenden. It was rudely awoken by Road Workers digging up the road! Covered in mud and cannot see anything with eyes and nose smothered in thick clay mud. Thankfully the workers spotted the poor hedgehog and rushed him off to the vets. We collected the hedgehog soon after and this in the bath it received at Hornbeam Wood Hedgehog Sanctuary. Mud was also given a blow dry with a hair dryer and the eyes cleaned out with eye wash. 850g male hedgehog. --------------------------------------------------------------------- HORNBEAM WOOD HEDGEHOG SANCTUARY 🦔🐾🐾🐾🐾: A family run Charity that looks after European Wild Hedgehogs.

4 Wild Baby Hoglets and mother were rescued today from St Albans in Hertfordshire. Found under a shed while Chris (called in the rescue) was renewing a garden shed. Luckily Chris drove over straight away and kept them warm (very important) while they were being transported. All are just over 50g, not more than days to a week old. It's October time and the hoglets would have unlikely made it though the winter as they would not be more than 200-300g mid November. Ideally hedgehogs need to be around 650g to have a good chanceto survive the hibernating winter periods. These hoglets will be with us until about 200g ish then they will be looked after by one of our fosterers and released back in to the wild sping next year. --------------------------------------------------------------------- HORNBEAM WOOD HEDGEHOG SANCTUARY 🦔🐾🐾🐾🐾: A family run Charity that looks after European Wild Hedgehogs.
