Sheila, Hedgehog Champion, has asked Eco Church to raise awareness about Hedgehogs. Humans can interfere with nature inappropriately. So, we’re checking the advice from the British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS) on what signs to look for when a hedgehog is in distress:
Lethargic – hedgehogs don’t sunbathe
Flies – if there are a lot of flies around the hedgehog, it needs help
Wobbly – if it wobbles when it walks there is something wrong
Obviously injured – wounded or clearly in distress
Trapped – have been caught in netting, pond, drain etc
Hoglets – if seen out in the day without an adult and/or squawking
Next week BHPS advice on how to help a distressed hedgehog.
Our actions make a difference
