We were pleased to see a very fat and reasonably healthy Bella the Hedgehog recently here at the GSPCA.

Bella who was rescued as a Hoglet only days old in early Summer this year and required hand rearing was released back to the wild in August as a young adult Hedgehog.

The address where she was released have regularly seen her popping back for food and recently they noticed her covered in a large number of ticks so they managed to catch her and bring back to the GSPCA Animal Shelter in St Andrews for treatment.

She stayed for a couple of days, got all cleaned up and thanks to her very healthy weight was released back to the wild where she belongs.

Lucy Ogier GSPCA Animal Care Assistant said 'It's a difficult time for our spikey friends at this time of year but thankfully Bella is one of the lucky ones.'

'She was one of my hand rears and it was lovely to see her.'

'We know it was her not just because she gets very grumpy but because we microchip all the Hedgehogs we release from the GSPCA.'

'If anyone finds a Hedgehog out in the day, any babies or any concerns please call us on 257261 or check out the GSPCA website for more information.'
