    I have a 270 gr hog, found wobbling and frail today. She has had 2 ticks removed and fluids from the vet. She is now brighter and eating. All the local rescues are full, so I am happy to try and raise her myself (I keep snakes and a parrot and other wildlife ) and I have help with that from a friend who has successfully raised hoglets before- but not with winter so close. What should I do once she reaches a decent weight -700gr? Will there still be food out there for her in west Yorkshire, if she wanders away once released or do I keep her indoors and continue feeding – or put her outside in a hutch- in the hope that she hibernates if I don’t feed for a while.

    You could ring Halifax Hedgehog rescue centre, they will give you all the advice you want. They are in West Yorkshire.

    Their number is 07974 309993.

    I have rung them a few times for advice, and they are really helpful – if they don’t answer the phone, make sure you leave a message, they always ring back.
