Hedgehog

Description:

We found this hedgehog in our garden, totally weak and full with ticks, maggots and infected eyes. We have well-cared-for and liberates it of the ticks and maggots, unfortunately it has nevertheless still died after some days.

Habitat:

Hedgehogs are primarily nocturnal, although, depending on the species, they may be more or less active during the day. The hedgehog sleeps for a large portion of the daytime either under cover of bush, grass, rock or in a hole in the ground. Again, different species can have slightly different habits, but in general hedgehogs dig dens for shelter. All wild hedgehogs can hibernate, although not all do; hibernation depends on temperature, species, and abundance of food.
