Hessilhead Wildlife Sanctuary II

We learned so much during this visit and our thanks go out to Andy and Gaynor. We learned that these little creatures roll up into tiny little balls when they are threatened and can be active at night and during the day. We listened and learned to the noises that they made and listened to Andy as he explained why they are here and how they often need to gain weight before they are released back into the wild. The Hedgehogs at Hessilhead are closey monitored with weights being taken each day and noted on charts. We learned that they enjoy cat food due to the higher quality compared to some dog foods. We also learned that they like to eat....a lot!
