Just a day later, she found the babies scattered and squeaking, their mother tragically hit by a car. Her first night with her partner turned into a rescue mission, feeding those two orphaned hoglets all through the night. #Nature #Hedgehogs

Eighteen years later, Oliphant has rescued thousands of hedgehogs and founded Prickles in a Pickle, a rehabilitation center powered by over 40 volunteers. But the struggle is real; hedgehog populations continue to decline due to habitat loss and road dangers. #WildlifeConservation #Hedgehogs

A third of Britain's hedgehogs have vanished in just 25 years! The good news? Increased public awareness has sparked a movement for hedgehog conservation, especially in towns where 'hedgehog highways' are connecting gardens. #EcoAwareness #HedgehogHighways

These highways, tiny openings in fences, allow hedgehogs to travel freely, feeding and hiding across connected gardens. A 2021 study found that over 120,000 of these highways link about 240,000 gardens. That’s just 1% of all residential gardens in the UK! #SustainableLiving #Gardening
