Bideford Hedgehog Rescue
We are a family run rescue, we are blessed with great volunteers who dedicate their time.
The toughest part on a day to day basis is keeping the bills paid, we have a fantastic group of people who help us, but what we really need is a regular flow of small donations coming in, this helps with the day to day running costs as well as medical care some hedgehogs need.
It doesnt need to be much.
A little but often really helps us, we didn’t start this with financial gain in mind, we didn’t actually think we would end up being double our capacity over the spring, but like many things in life, once you start something like this it soon picks up speed and its near impossible to stop.
This is why we are always very thankful to donations that are received, there are times when it gets tight here so a little but often really helps take some pressure off us.

Helping Hand Through their Recovery
Well, what can we say but the last three years have been a monumental shift between helping a few hedgehogs through the winter to being open and ready to accept into our centre hedgehogs all through the year.
2025
Last year alone we have seen a huge rise in our intake of young orphaned hedgehogs, most are found struggling to walk in the hot days, they are watched and its made sure that their mom has definetly left them, when this happens any hog less that 250gms will die without intervention and thats where we come in.
We are now starting to update our website, we will try and add new information each month.
we may be doing the work here at Hedwig's Hotel but we know without the help from all of YOU out there offering us support we wouldnt be able to do what we do! Thank you all.
Help raise awareness.
Another area where we have seen a rise are hedgehogs that have been attacked by dogs, we are lucky i think that the numbers are low, but in those cases we have had to have their wounds stitched up by our vet.
We have now started to attend local events to help raise awareness about a favourite garden visitor and how we can all do a little something to help them out during times that they find hard.
Here are just a few examples of what type of complaints we deal with here at Hedwig's
Roundworms Capillaria
Tick Infestation
