Hi lewisdad
You really don’t need to take any blame – you weren’t to know and were acting in good faith. I suspect the rescue people were too, but that doesn’t necessarily, mean they weren’t misguided. I think the BHPS and the hedgehog experts they have gathered together to write the guidance will be more knowledgeable in certain areas than the average rescue place. Hopefully, they will have accessed the guidance from elsewhere, but better that they have it twice than not at all! Having said that, these hogs may have been from the very few where there were circumstances that they could not be released in their home area.
As far as the hogs there are concerned, it is as it is, so I really hope they continue to do well.
