#35318

Hi there Prickly Hall, welcome to the forum, hoglets can be the last to hibernate because they are so small. If you could weigh this hoglet and if hes under 450 grams then hes going to need help as he won’t survive this winter hibernation and being underweight can prevent hoglets from hibernating altogether and they wont survive but also iv been told that not all hedgehogs hibernate, like at all. Im sure your wee vising hoglet will appreciate the home and food you put out and will love your garden it sounds perfect for hedgehogs! Please weigh this wee hoglet if you can get him or her as it could be a matter of life or death if this is a autumn baby… let us know how you get on please!!
