When our little rescued hedgehog finally began sniffing about and opening his eyes more, I took him into the orchard and set him down. It took him only a few minutes to unroll, check out his surroundings and skedaddle.
He seemed no worse for wear as he headed into the next field. I am sure he will be hungry after all of that swimming. I hope he can find some bugs on his way to a hiding place for the day.
