    Good morning,

    A neighbor just informed me that they found a family of hedgehogs while cleaning the park near my house. From what she said it’s the mother and young ones.
    They put them in a box, temporarily.
    How should we treat them?
    I have a hedgehog nest in the park, which is currently empty. Should we put them in there or let them go back to their natural nest, if it still exists?

    thanks,
    Andreas

    If this advise isn’t too late, ideally put them back where they were, however you need to monitor as mum may well abandon so the babies will need to be taken to a carer

    Thanks for the advice!

    I was told they put them back in the park.
    I see an adult hedgehog at nights, but don’t know where the young ones are.
    Will look around to see if I can find them.
