brilliant posters to educate children (and their parents) about the life of a hedgehog and the help they need. A better understanding of the needs of our native wildlife is so important at a time when the natural environment is constantly being challenged the actions of us all.
I volunteer in Monkton nature reserve in Kent, we get school groups in and these posters will be great to have to put up on our boards and to give to the children when they visit.
I used to run a Hedgehog sancttuary/ Wildlife hospital to help Hedgehogs bulk up to 600g for winter we fed them a mixture of cat/ dog food Digestive biscuits, meal worms mixed with Olive Oil and water which they loved. We put fresh clean water each day.. we tried some of the Hedgehog foods like spike but we foundd the prefererred the mix. Sometimes we gave the chicken, Turkey,, meal worms nuts berries, However never fish, Milk or bread .
