With Autumn well under way our hedgehogs are going about their business of feeding up for the colder months. Sometimes the changeable weather catches them out and they can need a bit of help. 'Spike' was low on energy and needed a good feed to get him going again. If you find a hedgehog in need, eg out in daylight, slow moving, not curling up, or running,  when approached, - try these simple things, they could make the difference.

• A box in a warm dry place, with a towel, so they can burrow and keep cozy
• A small dish of 'wet' type cat or dog food - not biscuits
• Build a cozy hedgehog house, filled with straw and leaves for their release after a few days
• check with your local vet if not sure, they are usually very good with advice
