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

### Is hedgehog sponsorship a good gift?
One of our most gifted. £25 a month, a personalised certificate, and updates until release — a whole story for the price of a takeaway.
