Garden & sports netting can harm #hedgehogs!
🥅⚽️🦔

Their spines can get stuck & even if they do manage to escape, serious problems can develop where skin is damaged (which may not even be visible at first).
🦔

So when you`ve finished showing off your #WorldCup footie skills, tie up goals & make sure any netting is at least 30cm off the ground so `hogs can pass safely underneath.

It`s #InternationalJokeDay...so we`re sharing our favourite #hedgehog joke... 😆
🦔
"Hedgehogs - why can`t they just share the hedge?"
😂

This one was from Dan Antopolski - but you can tell us your favourite #hedgehog joke in the comments!

Today`s #dailyhedgehog is from Pam Ayres` book - The Last Hedgehog, illustrated by @alice_tait_illustrates ✏️

This is a reminder that NETTING can be dangerous for hedgehogs - they can easily become entangled and unable to escape. Please ensure all garden netting and sports netting is put away after use and is raised at least 30cm off the ground.

A #hedgehog out in daylight usually means something is wrong - but not in this case!

This video shows busy female hedgehog gathering nesting materials ready for the arrival of her hoglets 💚

If you see a busy, healthy `hog like this one, you should leave them to go about their business in peace 🦔

An easy meal of meaty cat or dog food & a shallow dish of fresh water would be a great way to help her conserve her energy as she builds her nest ready for the new arrivals!
