Glad to help Lou - these little ones really need our help now - a good weight to see them through hibernation is 800 grams - anything less and they will need a wildie carer to assess them prior to release and most releases at the moment are on hold due to bonfire night - he/she will be fine Lou - warmth, food and water is important for now. xx

Gill said he looks on the thin side could be worms only one tic that i can see and im meeting Gills hubby at the next motorway junction to me in the morning .x

Frankie is still alive this morning .. and i will be taking him over to Gill's husband at Calcot after the school run think i will feel better when i no he is with someone that knows what they are doing with him ...

I'm sure Gill will keep me updated .x

Really pleased for you Lou - Frankie will be OK when he gets to Gill's, they have a vast array of high protein foods that soon gets them putting weight on xx

Yeah hope so she thinks he probably has worms but fingers crossed he will be ok ..x Least he isn't out there where he will die .x

REMEBER EVERYONE TO CHECK YOUR BIN BAGS AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT THEY CAN HIDE UNDER as Frankie was hiding under the liners i had put out to be washed .... was bring them into pop in the machine and there he was .... we have to do all we can to help these little ones .x

Well I have just had a wildie dropped off on my doorstep this morning, he was seen in the garden last night but was still out this morning, he is cold and wet so at the moment he has been made comfortable in a box with plenty of kitchen roll and a heat mat is under the box - going to ring Vi and get him over their later.

This is the time that hoggies will be beginning to hibernate so ANY that are out in the day means there is something not right.

I shall be naming him Bennie - we have Frankie and Bennie and I love their food!

Aww, hope they both are ok, love their names.
Well done to both of you for helping them. xx

Hey i want janey's avatar lol ..x

I have just met up with Harvey and dropped Frankiee off he was already with a big container .. food water and a heat mat we had a chat and he promised to keep me up dated and will still with the name as Meme named him .. Frankiee is a baby and i feel i have more .. so will be keeping a close eye out tonight .

Black bags in the garden .. put them up on a chair as he said most are found looking for food in bin bags .

Feels good to no that i have helped a wilde and i hope Gill will let me go with her when he is set free next year when he is a big boy .x

awww he's gorgeous Lou. I'm sure he will be well looked after x

Sadly Bennie has not made it - he has passed quietly away before I could get him to Virginia's - gutted x
