Hedgehog number 2.  by happypat

Hedgehog number 2.

A sequel to the poor dead hedgehog yesterday. This little fellow was walking around the drive & garden today with it's face bitten just like yesterdays victim.
We know definitely that it is not Tui thank goodies but Harry was wondering if it's squirrels. The grey squirrel is a vicious little thing & we have a lot round here pinching stuff of the bird tables.
Not so badly injured & we are keeping an eye out for it. A bit of a worry though & it's upsetting to see them !!
Poor little thing! Great photo of him and love all the colours in the gravel!

Poor thing. Glad it's not Tui. Our gray squirrels only interact with other squirrels. How big is a hedgehog such as this - it is hard to tell the size?

Poor thing! I hope it survives. Good capture.

Lovely photo and such an interesting story! I didn't know that squirrels would do such a thing. Poor little guy ... he's beautiful.

Another beauty. Glad this one is alive. Like the contrast with the pebbles

Poor little thing, strange that his face is bitten, I thought they curled up to protect themselves......they do when my cats go near them!!

Bless him - not ready for the RSPCA rescue yet then? They are supposed to do well on dog food. We have one that comes in the garden occasionally and confuses Monty - would a fox do it?

PS I resisted the temptation to photograph a dead duck today. I was tempted because of the title opportunity (this is how bad I've got) but it was a sad specimen - hit by a car I think.

@lesleyallen @judithg This one curled itself up when we went up to it so a bit of a mystery how their faces have been getting damage. We also wondered about a fox too Judith.

Such a worry for you. Keep watching him

that's too bad, Hopefully he can heal

It could be foxes. How disturbing.
April 13th, 2012  
oh how awful!!! I can't imagine a squirrel doing that.... poor thing...

great shot of this little fella Pat - I adore hedgehogs...glad to read today's post that he's gone to hedgehog hospital to get better!
April 13th, 2012  
Oh, this poor little guy just breaks my heart to know that he is hurt and injured...but having read a previous post that he has been taken to the clinic I hope that he is on his way to healing up nicely. So good of you to take him in for care, Pat!!
