On my daily walk, this little friend was laying on his dead mother (killed by a car, it was awful doggirl-cry )

It was able to walk a bit around when I came back with a box, it is Sunday tomorrow so all vets or refuges are closed. Any tips? I gave a little bit of water next to it.

    A lot of people have given what seems to be good advice and also what I know is good advice already and seem to know more about hedgehogs than I do. So I don’t have any advice but wanna say good luck and that you absolutely rule for helping the critter. Are you gonna keep em or do you plan on giving them to a rescue? I don’t wanna influence your decision but if you are in a position to give a hedgehog a good life maybe you just found a special little buddy. I would take it that way and its cute. Do what is right for both of you tho

      Bad timing , end of the month we’re moving to a new place but we’ll see how it evolves, tommorow i’m calling some vets and refuge for advice.

      Ideally it will be healthy and big enough after a while. I love the idea of a little buddy but i feel like it should be able to live as a normal hedgehog in the woods and fields. But if it can stay semi-autonomously in the garden, that’s a win too.
