Hi, I have observed this is my visiting hogs too. It started with one, then two or three more showed the same signs. Their legs would try to lift, but flail to the side or the hog would collapse in the middle of walking. It also looked neurological.
I contacted a local hog rescue who were worried that it was symptoms of a virus going around and told me to keep an eye on things.
They seemed to be walking a little better over the next few nights but now only one hog is continuing to visit.
I’m hoping that they are just temporarily away in a nursery nest, but fear the worst.
If it is any help to anyone else, I was told to sterilise all feeding/drinking equipment daily and even to stop feeding temporarily as the virus seemed to be contagious.
Could I ask……Did your hedgehog recover?
Thanks,
Sarah
