Picture Gallery:(and special thanks!)
This page is filled with pictures of our patients,past and present.Some of these,such as Blondie, sadly didn`t survive,but most went on to make a full recovery and be returned to the wild.Hedgehogs have individual personalities,and it has been a pleasure to help them on their way.
The work that we do simply would not be possible without the help of certain people,some of who we must offer our heartfelt thanks:

Extra special thanks must go to Mary Burdon(left)who was such a great help to us in our early days.She has always been there for us,whenever we`ve needed her,and remains so even now,if ever we need advice.

Dave and Sharon Fradley,and their daughter,Kerry,for their endless support and assistance.

In May,2002 Jeanette visited the well-known St. Tiggywinkles Hedgehog Hospital.Here she is ,pictured with St.Tiggywinkles`founder,Les Stocker(centre),and Television Presenter,Wendy Turner,(left),who was there,filming for the Channel 4 TV show`Pet Rescue`

This year we have taken in two albino Hedgehogs.They are unusual anyway,but two from the same litter is something special,and they have attracted the attention of local and national newspapers.........

.........and also the attention of BBC and ITV local television news programmes,who have both visited us in recent weeks to film the Hedgehogs.Jeanette is pictured here with BBC`s "East Midlands Today" Presenter,Lisa Dransfield,(centre),and cameraman.

This week(1st week in August 2002)we had to take one of the albinos to our local vet,as he was showing signs of biting his own feet.Though we`re not certain why this has happened,Hedgehogs can sometimes do this when they`re unwell,so we shall definitely be keeping a close watch on him,but in the meantime,this collar should help stop him biting!

This is Blondie,the rare blonde hedgehog who was brought into us in 2000,she had been poisoned,and sadly didn`t survive.

These cute little hogs are doing well,and putting on weight fast.They will soon be more independant.Then it will be time to find them a home.

Self-annointing:Hedgehogs are perhaps stimulated to do this by smells or changes in their environment.

There is no easy way to the untrained eye,to guess the age of a hog,but this female was certainly of advancing years!

Giving something this beautiful,and this small,the chance it deserves can be very rewarding.

Putting a cuddly toy in with the hogs,gives them comfort,like a replacement`mother`.

One of our occasional`other`visitors.How could anyone wish to harm such a beautiful animal?
