HEDGEHOG gets life-saving surgery!

[@kathymacomber5115]

The Vets are amazing and very dedicated

[@wildlifeaid]

They are indeed. They are a great bunch of people at Hamilton Referrals, we are very fortunate to have their help

[@bobiboulon]

They are so dedicated, and so skilled! Amazing people! :)

Real Heroes Thankyou for Caring and saving Wildlife What would wildlife and humanity do without these Heroes

[@casham6239]

What joy watching that little nose twitch, tentative steps, then with a "hedgehogs" gallop into the forest!! 🥰 Well done.

[@avacat8852]

wonderful, that the surgeon managed to fix the broken leg, and this cute chubby Hedgehog was released in the wild again and can live a happy free life again!!! Thank u all so much for helping so many animals in need!!!

[@annsmith4739]

I just called the hedge hog lady she took him to vets with the same injury an they put him to sleep I was so upset as he came in my garden regularly

[@Pythonaria]

Love Hedgehogs. Glad this one's leg is healed and he's gone home now. Great job everyone and a special "thankyou" to the person who got help for him.

[@RagedmeeksGaming]

Usually I'm totally against Hedge funds, but after seeing this I think a donation is in order!

[@patpierce4854]

😆😆😆👍👍👍

[@lymangreen5020]

A good pun!! I like it!!

[@Wendy-cj5yz]

Lovely to see the hedgehog back on the mend & released. My two feeding stations & trio of homes get well used. I set up the dry stores last week ready for the winter so they can do there own room service. One set up sleeping in one of those rather than the the dedicated ‘hotel’ next to it.

[@limiv5272]

Why walk to the food station when you can live in the food station?

[@Bigrignohio]

"He is very fat, been eating WAY to much.". Haven't we all? Just love those little nose wiggles.

[@startheangel9760]

He will have a head start for winter

[@grazia1238]

Well done and thank you all of you 🦔 And thank you again for your dedication and hard work on our behalf🦔 it was lovely to see those short fat hairy legs walking 💞🥰💞🥰

[@Fuchsschwester]

That was more than one needle in that haystick, Simon 😉😁.

[@laartje24]

That's allready a difficult surgery in a dog. Props to the team for pulling it off in something as tiny as a hedgehog.

[@Korina42]

Well done everyone involved!

[@annew8365]

What a wonderful thing to do for the little poglet! Thank you! 💕🦔

[@handiman5001]

Thanks to the rescurers, wildlifeaid, vets, nurses and vollenteers for their dedication and caring in helping not only this chubby little poglet but all the animals who are in need of assistance

Thank you good people, my monthly small donation is well worth it, thanks

[@wildlifeaid]

Thank you for your support Julian!

[@nadiabrook7871]

AWWWWW!! Poor hedgie!! I'm glad the op was successful, and that he was able to be released back into the wild!! XXXX

[@anglosaxon5874]

Wow a micro ET tube. Never seen one that small before! Like watching the surgery, reminds me of when I was a orthopaedic nurse. Great job there guys! Poor little thing.

[@TimeTheory2099]

Thanks Wildlife Aid team 👍

[@suecastillo4056]

Well the poor little guy!!! Love “hogs”💕SO very adorable! Great work Doctors and assists!

[@unouni2548]

They have such beautiful little faces 😊 Thank you for all you do!

[@katierandall9191]

Lovely wee things ❤ My friend has just bought a house on a new-build estate and all the gardens have hedgehog holes in the fences! They even have little signs to say what they're for (I suppose so people don't cover them up).

[@houseofharmony7307]

Great work. Thanks for all that you do in helping British wildlife. 👍🙏

[@anatolydyatlov3105]

The hedgehog was like "noo don't dig me up, I'm shy"

[@enigel1969]

The vet team is amazing! People like them restore my confidence in humans.

[@susannefoxforcefourpickeri9358]

More fantastic work from the specialist team and of course our wonderful Sally. Not forgetting the brilliant volunteers @WAF. It was great to see him waddle off into his own garden again and that the family look after their local wildlife.

[@Cobaltblueprism]

AWWW! I love this. Thank you vet team, volunteers, WLA staff.

[@TadeuszCantwell]

Great work in getting the hedgehog back into the wild.

[@wildlifeaid]

Thank you

[@mayajrj]

Incredible. Thank you doesn't seen enough for all the hard work and care that everyone put in and the care everyone gave so that this little (ish) poglet could walk again. Amazing.

[@kimhowell1537]

Well done team! God Bless you all always for your great compassion for animals! All doctors are such a gift and blessing from God to treat us humans and animals. Your combined talents and efforts have saved the lives of so many animals and many more to come! Thank you from the heart!❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@Fuchsschwester]

Just made a donation via PayPal. I hope it worked 🤞🏻.

[@xaraxania]

i love seeing the whole story, im still thinking of the poor half drowned fox. happy freedom hedge pig. Thank you WAF you are all amazing

[@kaykinomoto6209]

Wow that was an amazing job done by Ricardo on such a tiny leg! Congratulations for a wonderful job done for the poor hedgehog! Simply amazing!

[@millomweb]

On the other hand, it's quite stressful finding an ill wild hedgehog in your garden, getting advice on what to do for the best for him - taking him to a hedgehog rescue centre that then doesn't take him urgently to a vet (which I could have done) only to discover he died through the night at the rescue centre. At least I've now found out which local-ish vet is hedgehog-friendly.

[@annegriswold2116]

Amazing work, from what was shown it looks like the hedgehog is moving around like nothing ever happened.

[@juliekamrath984]

This rescue group is so very awesome. ❤ I hope they continue forever.❤😊❤😊❤

[@birdiemomcarol6554]

Yay!! Thank you to all involved in saving this cute little poglet 🥰

[@Fluffymonkeyem]

My favorite part was when the hedgehog got to to go home! To me that's the ultimate rescue, when the animal not only gets healed but gets to go back to the wild. Beautiful!

[@richardbool4232]

You people absolutely amaze me every time I think you have gone as far as you can you go that bit more. this world needs more people like you.

[@AzzureSky]

Yay for little hog!

[@alicjak700]

That's a needle cushion in a hay stack - glad to see him feeling well though :D

[@mindy573]

I love seeing how different species are handled in other countries! Here in the United States, we don’t have wild hedgehogs, but people keep the smaller ones as pets. I like seeing them wild better! 😊

[@susanwilliams2392]

Here in New Zealand, hedgehogs are an invasive species, and considered a major pest. One of the hazards of having lots of flightless native birds. It's so nice to see hedgies in their proper environment, and being treasured and loved.

[@shonagiffen4913]

[@johannageisel5390]

A cat I once lived with had a shattered back leg after climbing out of the barely open window and then falling off the roof. They had to do a similar surgery on her to set her leg again. Doing that on an even smaller leg is incredible. Those bones must be tiny!

[@kayellee7202]

Did anyone else expect to see some sort of porcine animal and was surprised to see the "Hog" referred to in the title is a HEDGE-hog??

[@Quacking-Goose]

I love that nickname for hedgies "poglette"

Oh, how does Simon have the heart to pull a hodgepodge out when he was SO comfortable! :D

[@TheDaisytails]

Amazing wonderful and thankyou. I wonder after an animal gets released again if they think back and contemplate what exactly happened to them. and they must have a sense of relief to be back home.

[@cajsheen2594]

Aren't they strange and wonderful little creatures. Very humbling to see al these specially trained people working together with all the up to date equipment to mend an innocent animal, XXX

"needle in a haystack" LOL that's exactly what a prickly hedgehog in a straw box is XD

[@loisgriffiths5237]

Great job as usual!!!

[@Windrider6]

Interesting and heartwarming story of saving the life of a single animal. We like stories like this, but the resources that went into helping a single hedgehog were significant. The same equivalent resources (manpower & money), could have gone toward helping all wildlife in the area. That's not what humans want to do, or think about. We ignore the bigger problems of habitat loss of the animals, due mostly to human development. With regard to the environment, we humans think only of how we can make a profit, and out convenience of living. Wildlife is/are very far down the list of priorities of the average human, if they make the list at all. Thus videos like this, in which some people use a lot of resources to save a single animal life, appease the consciences of some people have any conscience at all about how we humans treat the natural world.

[@evolgrinz3202]

It must be an great feeling, releasing a wild animal back to where they belong.

[@nommyyt]

Thanks!

[@neovo903]

I'm guessing the bones of a hedgehog are thinner and more delicate than other wildlife like foxes and badgers?

[@neovo903]

lovely size too!
