Adoption

What it costs

An average cost of medical treatment needed upon arrival of a hedgehog is £17.00 - this covers a course of antibiotic's & any worming treatment that is needed. For some the cost is much more, depending on the treatment needed. The average cost of looking after a juvenile hedgehog over the winter is £130.00. Very young babies need specialist milk, until they are able to move on to solid food. An average Sanctuary heating bill for the winter will cost over £300.00.

Over the years with the good will of local veterinarians I have been able to support the health and welfare of the hedgehogs with basic treatments such as antibiotic's. If a hedgehog is injured, please take it direct to your nearest vet.

As the knowledge of the Sanctuary spreads, so it brings with it more requests for advice and rescue and the ability to support each hedgehog whatever its future might be. Donations are vital to enable me to continue to help hedgehogs in need. 90% of the costs of running the sanctuary are met out of my own pocket. All funds raised by donating and the adoption of our residents goes directly to the hedgehogs to provide them with food and any medical treatments that they need. All administration and heating costs comes out of our own pockets. Without the donations and adoptions funding the welfare costs of the hedgehogs in our care, we would not be able to continue.
