Saved a life! freed a hedgie!

[arknor]

just went for my daily covid exercise around the local city park.
bloody good job I did to.

heard a strange rustling sound with no breeze and then came across poor little hedgie walking in circles with a malteasers packet stuck right over it's head.

I didn't think to take a picture or video before I freed him since I was more worried about getting the little fella free.

It was wedged on pretty good, I tried to trap the front of the bag using a stick but hedgie only wants to move forward... managed to get it off after a couple of tries trying to push it off whilst he was moving.

poor guy coulda been there all night walking in circles.

once it was off he just stood on the spot for half a minute before running on to the grass before I took this photo.
#hero-or-what!

BTW he was next to a bin that was full, it's quite possible the packet had fell out of the bin.

Take your rubbish home if the bin is full YOU MONSTERS!

I like hedgehogs.

That's all I got.

 

[Werewolf]

Good on you

I love hedgehogs, unfortunately I've not seen one for a long time
I think the badgers have chased them off.

I feed mine every night in the back garden. We usually can get three at the same time, sometimes more.

 

[MrClippy]

hedgehogs are the best... I wish I could get one in the garden, not a pet, just one that is happy there. so fat and round.... and only defence? ball time.

 

[bremen1874]

They can run quite fast as well.

 

[MrClippy]

wanna know what a hedgehog without spikes looks like when curled into a ball? an anus.

who woulda thought.

 

[arknor]

They can run quite fast as well.

yea he scampered pretty fast once he got over the initial shock or whatever, but then hedgie just sat on the grass as in the picture.

thought it might transform in to a pokeball but nope.

here's the evolved form

Hedgehogs are one of the coolest and most harmless creatures in existence, well done for saving that little fella <3

HodgeEggs are great little critters. Used to find them under my Granddad's shed all the time as a kid.

[Yaayuh!]

Yay hedgehogs!

Good on you

There’s a few things over the years that have destroyed the population.
Urbanisation, fenced gardens, general habitat loss (Inc pristine Incredibly unnatural gardens), slug pellets (and other poisons), to name a few.

I love Hodgepigs!

That is all.

 

[FloppyPoppy]

Spikey football.

 

[--Mike--]

Well done, hedgehogs are great! We’ve had many visits to our garden but recently they’ve stopped coming which is odd.
