Hedgehogs in Heat Crisis | Bristol News

Hedgehog rescue centers are in crisis as record heatwaves parch the land, leaving dozens of dehydrated, disoriented animals in dire need—especially baby hoglets orphaned or struggling alone. With natural food and water sources vanishing and populations already in decline, these nocturnal creatures are forced into daylight, stumbling or collapsing under the strain. Signs like flies buzzing around or hedgehogs lying motionless are urgent red flags. One center even relocated its unit after AC failed—staff racing to treat dehydration and injuries. You can help: leave shallow water dishes, offer meaty pet food, and let your garden grow wild for shade and safety.
