Thanks Nic, I’ll have a look at it tmrw

Yes, I considered that too, that it would put them off hedgehogs rather than want to help them.

I think I’ll just focus on litter and telling a teacher if they see one out in the day – I might just say that as they have spines, they are likely to hurt you if you pick them up – that might be suffice, I’ll also tell them that having spines is a good thing as it protects them a little bit from prediators.

Good day today, been following a hedgehog at my local rescue centre – an adult male who came in with no spines, he’s now got a full coat of spines, and now going to a foster carer before he gets released. – how wonderful.
