Remember the Little Hedgehog who i fed in the Eveings & My Daughter Photo`d him/her trying2climb the Little Path Step into garden?

Well when i was walking Back2 my house this morning after feeding the Birds Outside i found Him/her staggering along the Path 2wards me :/ I picked the Little Hoggy Up & brought him/her inside 2see if he/she would eat my offering of Cat Food ? Hoggy Didnt eat a thing :( So i was worried as he/she seemed Poorly, @ 9am i took the Little Hoggy along to a RSPCA Wildlife Centre about 10/13 miles away from where i live i knew they could care for Him/Her as i didnt want Hoggy2Die, The Lady Wieghed Little Hoggy &Placed him/her inside a Nice Big Cardboard Box :) I left my name &contact number so they can phone me with any news they have on his/her illness ,I also asked if he/she can be returned to My Garden when well again :) The Lady Placed a Note On Hoggys Box & z theyd phone me soon :) Fingers Crossed Hoggy will be well Soon & Back in My Garden Enjoying Febes,Soxs&Puss Cat Food :)

She arrives every morning for breakfast Jacque, she then sits either on top of or on the front ledge all day except for when she comes down for more corn .
She will go inside but then she turns round and sits at the front entrance ,
Sometimes one of the tamer friendly collard doves sits there with her , so she has a friend .
She usually goes off at night but a few times I have seen her there all night even when it was freezing ,I was really worried about her then , I don,t know how they keep warm !
it,s amazing isn,t it ! x

8 Jan, 2009

 

She sounds happy enough Amy :) My Bruv kept Racing Pigeons yrs ago & sometimes the Fantails that i had which lived in with the Racers would sit up near the Chimneys breast all nite in all kinds of weather cos they didnt want2come in :) Im sure she`l stay with u for life now :)Lucky U shes Beautiful :)x

8 Jan, 2009

8 Jan, 2009

 

Itd be Lovely if Hoggy had a Family Here in My garden PG :) & im so relived that Hoggys getting better Jane :) U should of seen the Poor Little Guy when i picked him up i tucked him in2 my coat Not even thinking of Fleas /Bugs ect ,I just wanted to Make him Warm &keep him safe as he did look so poorly :/ I even Dug up some worms from the pond area as all the other ground was frozen solid but he wouldnt even eat those :( So i knew he must be ill as im sure worms are 1of their Fav foods :)

8 Jan, 2009

 

Yes Jacque,they do love worms,but sure he is getting lots of care and most of all warmth.Sure he will be happy to set up home with you when hes better.He will want his Mum lol ! Who cares about fleas when a little life is at stake Well done for your prompt action !

8 Jan, 2009

 

Aww Jacque, you are so kind. Its thanks to people like yourself and the work of the RSPCA that make the difference.

8 Jan, 2009

 

Thanx Jane :) Did u see the Lovely Blue Tit Pic that Deida Took Jane? it looks like its legs are Blue ? She wants 2 no if its male or female Is Ray there 2 ask? Maybe he`l no if u dont :) If u dont mind me Asking Jane :)X

8 Jan, 2009

8 Jan, 2009

 

Will go check it out now jacque

8 Jan, 2009

 

I suppose we would Jacque. I dont use slug pellets just in case the hedgehogs are affected, my lettuce were shobbered last year but so what!

8 Jan, 2009

 

Just back from Deidas pic isnt it lovely and clear? BB says blue legs show its either a male or a female lol !

8 Jan, 2009

 

Dawn,hear hear think folk like us all try our best for the wildlife.We rely on the thrushes to control slug population.Nature usually has its own natural balance dont you think?

8 Jan, 2009

 

Lmao did u see my Comment on us 3 going2same Pics Jane lol x

8 Jan, 2009

 

am so glad to hear Hoggy is ok Jacque, i don't use slug pellets either i have a tamish blackbird would hate to think he picked some up would never forgive myself. Beer in plastic cups works they die happy LOL

8 Jan, 2009

 

So glad to hear the good news about Hoggy. Good job you found him when you did and took action. Hurrah!!

8 Jan, 2009

 

~I don't use slug pellets either~I have a pair of blackbirds in my fir tree in the front garden they have young ones every year and certainly would not want to harm them!
M y hostas get ambushed though!

9 Jan, 2009

 

I dont Use Slug Pellets either &am very careful what Sprays i use on My Plants when theyv got Black Spot ect :)Best way when your being Wildlife Friendly :)

9 Jan, 2009

 

Good point about the slug pellets.
A lot of people don't realise how much damage they can do to wildlife.

9 Jan, 2009

 

hi TT even when i had My Rented Allotment 3years ago i would`nt use Pellets TT :) 2 Many Sprouts ,Cabbages 4 the Little Slugs/Snails 2 do to much Damage ,

9 Jan, 2009

 

That's good thinking Jacque.
Were the other allotment users as responsible as you, or did some of them use pellets ?

9 Jan, 2009

 

Many used Pellets there TT :( But My Alloment was more a Garden4me as i didnt have 1 back then only a Balcony 2grow Flowers on :)

9 Jan, 2009

YAY!! That's fantastic news Jac! You could maybe put him in the hoggy box you made when he comes home - so he has a place to hide until it gets dark. I wonder if he'll think 'oh I know this - I've come home!' ? Can wait to see the pics :-)

26 Feb, 2009
