# Hedgehogs — rescue gifts

> Hedgehog rescue gifts: feed an orphaned hoglet £5, keep one warm £10, overwinter a hedgehog £25. E-certificate from WARN included.

## Quick answer
Partner wildlife hospitals hand-rear hundreds of orphaned hedgehogs a year. £5 feeds an orphaned hoglet, £10 keeps one warm on a heat pad, £15 funds an X-ray, and £25 overwinters an underweight hedgehog until spring release.

## About these animals
Orphaned and underweight hedgehogs arrive at rescues every autumn — too small to survive hibernation. Hand-feeding, warmth and a safe winter indoors mean they go back to the wild in spring.

## FAQs
### Why do hedgehogs need overwintering?
Hedgehogs under roughly 600g cannot survive hibernation. Rescues keep them warm and fed indoors through winter — about £25 per hedgehog — then release them in spring.
