Narwhal joined us a few days ago after an entrapment incident. Her claws are very worn from trying to escape, but there’s no sign of infection. We’ll continue to monitor her closely.

Hedgehogs see woodpiles as cosy shelters — they won’t run from danger.
👉 Move your bonfire before lighting to keep them safe.

💔 Meet Dingo 💔
Dingo is a leucitic hedgehog — meaning he has a rare pale colouring caused by partial loss of pigmentation. Sadly, Dingo is very poorly and currently in an incubator receiving intensive care.
Please keep Dingo in your thoughts tonight. 💕🦔
