Today I had the privilege of having some hands-on experience with wild hedgehogs currently in care at Hessilhead Wildlife Rescue Centre in Beith, Ayrshire. We were taught all about how to look after sick/abandoned young hedgehogs. It was one of the courses run by Hessilhead to educate the general public about the wonderful creatures living close to us. The charity have been looking after sick wildlife for over 25 years and have hundreds of patients in their care at any one time. Brilliant charity, brilliant experience, can't recommend them enough :)
