Meet Spike!
He was taken into rescue in June '06 weighing just 3oz & suffering from a variety of ailments including lung worm. Now a healthy 4lb he's strong enough to go back into the wild or rather the bottom of our garden. He'll have the freedom to come & go as he wants with the added advantage of fresh food & water delivered every evening.

DH has made him a special house & it's carefully hidden under plastic covered in a mountain of leaves in a corner under a large bush sheltered by fencing.
'Band H' Hedgehog house
We're hoping that he doesn't 'leg it' & that he choses to stay in his house snug in all the leaves. The bottom of our garden is quite overgrown & home to squirrels in the trees, mice & lots of birds including Tawny owls. Hopefully he'll fit in well & make it his home.

Oh bless him! I do hope he sticks around in your garden. We have a regular hedgehog visitor here who has been seen snaffling birdseed from the ground :-)
There's something so very appealing about hedgehogs :-)I do hope he feels at home in your garden.
He's so sweet! He's clearly done VERY well under your supervision though - you don't need to tell us he isn't 3 oz anymore :D
awwwwww, he's so cute!!!!!! Will the dogs leave him alone? I think Scooby would probably fetch him in to the house:-0) I'm sure he'll decide to stay when he sees his new house! I'd love to have wildlife at the bottom of my garden.......
Oh isn't he a cutie?
We used to have a family of hedgehogs living in the back of our garden in our old house years ago. Hope he settles in lovely ;)
wow! how do you get a hedgehog? we're after a breeding pair for our veg patch, and bill could build a hutch like that no problem.
i hope he has a long and happy life in your garden.
our dalmatian would bring us hedgehogs, but he never harmed them.
Welcome to the new family member, Spike, and hope he settles in well at the bottom of the garden!
Oh he is wonderful, we loved having our little friend last year. If you hear of any others needing a home let me know.
