On Tuesday we said goodbye to one of our hand rears, Merlin. Merlin came to us with his siblings Serin, Woodie and Goldie after his nest was disturbed and mum had ran off. Good luck out there little man ♥️🦔 We are starting to run low on tins of cat and dog food. These hedgehogs are really eating us out of house and home!! Any donations of tins of wet cat and dog food would be greatly appreciated. Ideally meat and jelly based or loaf. https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/10YC81KWYR2TS?ref_=wl_share Thank you! (fb)
