Hello Coley,
Many thanks for your reply. Yes I was very disappointed at the vets lack of interest and duty of care to any animal, I reckon he is an exception to the rule as I have taken wildlife including hedgehogs before to a vets practice and they have helped me. I had been contacting what seems to be the only rehabilitator in Northern Ireland Debbie Doolittle’s wild life which I have been so surprised about as I can’t see anyone else doing this vital work for all wildlife her in Northern Ireland. She eventually replied and has just called and has taken all 3 of the hoggies which is brilliant as I was worried she may have said the bigger of the 3 was a good weight to be released back to this location. I’m glad they have all remained a little bunch at this stage, she will suspend hibernation by keeping them in a while heated environment and feed them up until they reach good weights then let them hibernate. Best outcome. I’m sad they have left this garden but knowing that they are safe and getting cared for is brilliant. God bless people like Debbie and all volunteers who dedicate their time to wildlife. Thank you again for your advice and concern. Best wishes. Patricia 🐞
