Description

Why do hedgehogs hibernate when other mammals don't? And how can we help them to snore safely in our gardens? This episode, we speak to hedgehog-rescuer extraordinaire, Mary Hinton, who has been running the Help A Hedgehog Hospital in south Gloucestershire for ten years now. And this winter all of her cages and pods are filled with sick and injured hogs and those too small to hibernate safely this winter. Find out how to make your garden welcoming for hedgehogs now and come the spring. And what to do if you do see a hoggy wandering about in the winter.
