We are all able to do our bit to support our native wildlife and this winter the animal charity Tiggywinkles is helping to raise money to provide care to sick and vulnerable hedgehogs during the season of hedgehog hibernation. With the help of packaging company, Rajapack, a mansion for hedgehogs is being built to feature areas such as a pool and a tennis court. Hector— Rajapack’s nominated house hedgehog—will also be given a satellite dish and private jet amongst other things, but only if donors reach the charity target of £1000. For each £50 target that is met along the way, Rajapack will add a new feature to Hector’s mansion. The house is to-scale and the design means that Hector has room to move around freely and to invite his hedgehog friends. Tiggywinkles cares for sick and injured animals, such as hedgehogs, badgers, deer, wild birds, foxes and reptiles. As the hospital receives no national funding, they rely heavily on the generosity of the public to provide the best in care free of charge. Kind donations will ensure that they continue their important work giving wildlife a second chance. You can donate and follow progress here. You can find out more about how to help hedgehogs in your own garden here whilst The Wildlife Trusts around the country provide good information on where to spot them.
