October 2026
Marcia......
This little hedgehog was found on 17th October wandering around the Marsh Mill area of Thornton during the daytime indicating all was not well. 'Marcia' was clearly unwell with a horrendously bad tummy and an overload of internal parasites. Now receiving treatment and her condition has improved.
Tickle......
'Tickle' was noticed via a garden cam one evening while he was feeding to have more than his fair share of ticks on him, so he was brought in for treatment. I must have removed over 100 of the damn things off him. Now tick free, but needs a bit of weight on him before he can be returned to his garden.
UPDATE: Tickle gained enough weight and has now been returned to his garden tick free.
Woody......
Little 'Woody' picked up on 29th October and brought in from Woodley Ave in Thornton after being seen out during the daytime. An Autumn juvenile weighing 225gms so well underweight for the time of the year. This is one very hungry baby. She ate for over half an hour!
Two days later another juvenile was rescued from the same road after being seen out during the daytime. Similar weight to Woody so my guess they are both from the same litter. This one however is very poorly.
