If like us, you share a love of hedgehogs and would like to be more involved in their rescue and rehabilitation then you could become a relocator. Many hogs spend their time in the hogspital getting fit and well enough to leave but they can’t go back to where they were found. This is the stage where they go to a relocator for some special attention in the form of a safe secure home and reliable food and water supply.
If you would like to become a relocator please carefully consider the criteria below to see if you would be able to help.
- Provide a stocked feeding area 365 days a year. This means, as a minimum of water and kitten biscuits. Iams Kitten biscuits are a favourite with the hogs and with us as they are high in protein.
- A hedgehog house for shelter (one per hog)
- No badgers
- Not near a main road
- A safe garden – any ponds have a ramp to prevent drowning and pesticides, poisons or traps are not used
- Already have an established hog community – you have visiting hedgehogs
- Space for roaming – this can be in the form of a single large garden, several smaller gardens with hedgehog access points or open space beyond.
Hope for Hedgehogs
