| In Britain many hedgehogs are killed, injured or orphaned every day and the hedgehog population of the UK has dropped from around 30 million in the 1950s to around 1 million today. British hedgehogs are Red Listed and now officially classified as vulnerable to extinction. Pickering Hedgehog Rescue is dedicated to caring for hedgehogs in the Pickering area of North Yorkshire. |

We see horrific injuries from strimmers every year in the rescue. Most, unfortunately have become badly infected and/or riddled with maggots. The poor hedgehogs can suffer a long time before they are eventually found and PTS or die. Please always check for hedgehogs first. Some horrific wounds can be treated and the hedgehogs can recover if found early enough but a quick check before you strim is the best option.As we start tidying up our gardens in preparation for spring, let's be mindful of hedgehogs who are hidden from sight! 🦔
A big thank you to everyone that donated some food for the hogs, both wet and dry, gloves, blue roll, printer ink, paper etc. We go through so much in the rescue and any donations are such a great help.
If you would like to help support the rescue we always need food for the hedgehogs. Some specialist foods are very expensive and only used on very sick hedgehogs. Perhaps you could get together with friends, family or people at work and buy some together. We have just updated our Amazon wish list. This is a guide to the types of food we use. It could be cheaper elsewhere so please check first, also tins are much cheaper than pouches. Thank you for your continued support.
