It explains how to become a hedgehog carer, equipment and medication required, with suggestions for publicity and fund-raising. Describes how to recognise when a hedgehog needs help, how to uncurl a hedgehog, how to tell a hedgehog's age. Gives advice on handling, feeding, hygiene, hand-rearing and hibernation, and includes a patient checklist, weight chart, feeding plan for babies, and anecdotal case histories.
Hedgehogs are endangered and need all the help they can get, and armed with the knowledge in this book, you will know what to do the next time you come across one of these small inoffensive creatures in need of first aid.
