More about hedgehogs

Since hedgehogs seem to be the main feature, I thought we'd come back to them again for a while. These health tips basically come from the side of one of the food bags, except I've paraphrased them a bit. ;D

Tips for hedgehog health:
1) Let a corner of your garden go a little wild, to help the hogs feel at home.
2) Only use animal friendly slug pellets, and only when you really need to.
3) If you have a garden pond, make sure the edge is a bit of a slope or there's a ramp in there to help hogs (and other critters!) climb out.
4) Don't handle baby hogs, unless you're sure they're orphaned. If you do and they're not, their mother will abandon them.
5) If you see a hog in daylight, there's something wrong with it (hunger/thirst/hurt). If you think it's serious (i.e. not just a case of leave them to get to the water supply), call someone like the RSPCA in.
6) Leave food and water out in shallow dishes, every evening at dusk.
7) Hedgehog fleas will stay on the hedgehogs, and can't live on humans, domestic pets or home type thing like carpets and furniture. Don't spray them with dog/cat flea spray.
