The hedgehog population of the UK is down 97% for many reasons and so they need help. At Wicor we provide perfect hedgehog hibernation and foraging sites, but not all gardens are like this. There are some simple ways to help hedgehogs:

If nothing else cut a CD disc size whole in the bottom of your fence so that hedgehogs can get from garden to garden. Remember do not feed them milk or bread: water and meaty cat food is much better. More information can be found at:

Mrs Bryant recently found this stunned and injured hedgehog in Portchester. She rang a local Wildlife Expert who came and rescued the poor little thing. Recent updates though are that the hog is doing well and we hope to release it into Wicor grounds where it will find lots of eat and drink and perfect hedgehog shelters.
Did you know that a baby hedgehog is called a hoglet?
Did you also know that a group of hedgehogs is called an array?
