St. Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital



I found this great animal hospital that cares for injured and sick wild animals, including hedgehogs. It is appropriately called "St. Tiggy Winkles" in honor of the lovable hedgehog character in the Beatrix Potter book.

Check out the 360 degree tour, that allows you to visit different areas of the hospital and the kind people helping animals. If you live in an area that has wild hedgehogs (and i'm already jealous of you!), there are even plans on how to build a house for them. I remember reading awhile back that you should weigh your hedgehogs in your backyard before winter, and feed them appropriately to bring them up to their appropriate weight, since they do not hibernate. If memory serves me right, that is about a pound.
