A question please. We live on a housing estate surrounded by farmland and fairly frequently we see hedgehogs not only in the gardens but also, sadly, running around the roads.
A couple of days ago we found one curled up in the road. A neighbour said that it (or another one) had been in their garden this week and they had given it some cat food. Anyway the hog wasn’t moving. I put it in a box with some soft insulating material and a towel. It still hasn’t moved but I’ve put down some tinned hedgehog food. Still no sign of activity. How can I tell if it is still alive. It is slightly ‘odorous’ but then maybe they are all a bit smelly 🤷♀️. If I put a hand over the (exposed nose and feet) there is some warmth but I suppose that might be decomposition . Ideas please
