The hedgehog doesn't carry apples on its barbs, as some people try to convince us, but it's useful. And that's why he needs help in the fall and winter. That is, if he needs it.
On a walk in autumn you can sometimes find a hedgehog cub or a small hedgehog. When are you supposed to take him home or the rescue station? It depends on when you meet him and how much he weighs.In our conditions live two species of hedgehogs, both eastern and western. At first glance, they look almost the same and similar to their lifestyle. They go out mostly at night and sleep in hiding during the day. But they may lose him for a reason.

When you decide to save the animal with your own help, you first need to unwive it and defbleate it. For example, Diffusil will help with dogs and deworming pills. You buy them at the pharmacy. And what to feed him with? You can already buy special feed for hedgehogs. But he still enjoys cat canned food, granules that bite him well. It can even sponge cakes and fruit. Do not give him insects or earthworms. They've got parasites in them, and you've wormed the hedgehog. But if you want to make it better, buy flour worms.
He needs clean water to drink. Never milk. Never give him milk, but he needs plenty of water. He'll be best in a paper box or crate. You can accommodate him in a cage or a paper box, but if he doesn't sleep, he needs a paddock for the night. Everyone has to be separate, because hedgehog does not have to.
If you manage to feed the animal in time above 600 g, transfer it to a cooler room. The temperature should be about five degrees. Give him food all the time, and if he doesn't dwell, he'll fall asleep. Leave the smaller animal at room temperature all winter and let it sleep during the day and go to the enclosure at night.
