Got another one. (Little Foot)
Had a call at 1.30pm to go collect a small hedgehog from a friends garden.
I know no more at the moment than he/she weighs 225g. Hopefully will be able to see more of him/her later when I plan to give a good check over, but for now is settling.

Re: Got another one. (Little Foot)
He/she refuses to uncurl more than a smidge, have given clean bedding and put a bowl of food and one of water in. I can't do anymore at the moment, was hoping to get a dose of Panacur in but not a chance at the moment. I am hoping it eats tonight and gains some strength - it seems tired, not sure how else to explain!!

Re: Got another one. (Little Foot)
The possibilty of stress is main reason I am leaving alone for now, time to get used to being here.
I have put a dish of Interntional Rehydrating Fluid in so hopefully it will drink and that will do it good.
Fingers crossed for sure.

Re: Got another one. (Little Foot)
It has had a tiny bit of food and tipped the water over, so the water is now in a jar lid.
Knowing my luck this one will be as fussy as Edie and only like food I DON'T give!

Re: Got another one. (Little Foot)
I hope this one is going to do ok. Sounds alot like Edie to me.
Mine were very fussy too, always wanting the opposite to what I give them That's Hedgehogs all over. The best thing is to try out as much food as possible, so you can find what food they love. I did and mine liked this Tesco kitty Kat thing. Nice stuff.
For now, and maybe for the best, I have no Hedgehogs in my care. I'm a very busy person now. But still feed them and keep a close eye out.
Good luck with her,
Bethany.

Re: Got another one. (Little Foot)
I can tell you this is another girl!! No name yet, giving it thought.
She is more 'with it' today, so have been able to see 4 legs and feet, clear eyes and nose, and one small ick right by her right eye - being so close I am loath to touch it but they she is I won't be able to anyway!!
Poo looks fine but have put Panacur on her food - no chance of getting it in her mouth via a syringe!
She had a tiny amount of cat food overnight and through today so have put puppy food in to see if she likes that.

Well done.
Let us know the name!

Re: Got another one. (Little Foot)
My 2 sons have called her Little Foot - it goes well with the name of the newest one (Ducky) as both characters from Land Before TIme, and she is the smallest one here.
She is very placid, such a sweetie.

Re: Got another one. (Little Foot)
What a great name for her! Little foot was one of my favourites from the land before time. I also like the one clalled 'Petrie' the little bat thing. That one was funny.

Re: Got another one. (Little Foot)
We all like that film, so it seems apt there 2 names from it!
She is much more alert now, she has a small tick very close to her right eye which I have absolutely no chance of getting near. This is the first hedgehog I have been unable to give anything to orally by syringe! She curls so tight even if my hand is in the way! I managed to get a tiny bit of Panacur in, but will have to put it on her food as I did last night.
Took a photo which I will post in the photo section.

Re: Got another one. (Little Foot)
I do hope the Tick is got rid of soon.
I'll have a look at the picture now.

Re: Got another one. (Little Foot)
Little Foot still refuses to let me give her Panacur orally, so it went on her food. She is eating and drinking, seems a secretive sort of girl!
Re: Got another one. (Little Foot)
Little Foot hardly eats, her water does go down though which is something at least.
I have today moved her into a new box, with heat pad. She is now laying stretched out on it - this is one that could either way. I am hoping the direct warmth with help, just hoping she isn't yet another of the small ones simply destined not to make it.

Re: Got another one. (Little Foot)
For the first time she took Panacur from syringe this evening, I have had to put it on her food up until now and as she has eaten little I doubt she has had any. Now she is looking more lively - has tried to get UNDER the heat pad and move it around, and has at least walked through her food which is progress!!!
Re: Got another one. (Little Foot)
she keeps it up!

Re: Got another one. (Little Foot)
I hope she makes it. Little Foot is a lovely little Hedgehog and deserves a second chance of survival.

Re: Got another one. (Little Foot)
Little Foot isn't looking good.
I have syringed a mix of weetabix, goats milk and vits into her, she took it well but made it clear when she had had enough.
You know when you just know? I think I know.
