End of June update

Here are the totals for the last 3 months

April admissions 19 May admissions 24 June admissions 49

April deaths 10 May deaths 14 June deaths 14

April releases 14 May releases 6 June releases 17

We keep on having to postpone releases due to the very hot dry weather. The high death rate is due to the amount of severely injured hedgehogs we are seeing.

On a positive note there seems to be a nice lot of young hoglets around this year. Please do all you can to help them in your gardens by providing cat or dog food and lots of shallow bowls of water all over the garden, especially when it is so hot and dry, there is nothing to drink and very little natural food to eat at the moment, so any help you can give them will be saving lives.
