Can you help baby hedgehogs?

By Annabel Andrews

A WILDLIFE hospital is appealing for west and north Wiltshire residents to donate pet food to help baby hedgehogs survive the winter.
Wild Things Res-Q, formally the Wiltshire Wildlife Hospital, is struggling to cope with an influx of about 100 hoglets, all of which need feeding over the winter.
Residents can donate cat or dog food or cat biscuits at the hospital's charity shop at 15-17 The Bridge, Chippenham.
It's the second year running the Salisbury-based hospital has launched a food appeal.
Jan Hunt, from the charity, said: "These vulnerable little hoglets must be kept warm and fed right through until spring so that they don't go into hibernation.
"Despite them putting a huge strain on our time, energy and especially our funds, we will never turn even one away."
The hospital, set up in 1993, is run entirely on donations. The general number is (01980) 629470.
