| Can you help me ladies! My sisters next next door neighbour keeps finding a wild hedgehog in her house!!! She thinks its sneaking in when she opens the door for her dog. It's currently in the loo having a mooch about. The loo's upstairs so it must've shifted some! They rang the RSPCA the first time it went in but they just told her to put it out. It's decided it want to live there, hehe! What should she do??? x x | |

| It shouldn't be out in the day, get her to ring British hedgehog preservation society and they will have better advice on what to do with the little fellow:) xx

| Cheers Leanne. I said it was strange that it's out in the day. That's why they've let stay in the house today. They don't want to put it out till night time. x x  | |

| I've rung them and explained the situation and my concerns. They've given me Barbara's phone number so I've left her a message. Barbara is a lady I've seen on the telly the other week. She takes loads of them in, so hopefully she will be able to help. I think it must be ill to be wandering about in daylight.
It's quite safe in my sisters next door neighbours bathroom at the moment. She's put it some water down, dog food (wet) and a blanket like I asked her to, and shut the door so the dog can't get in there. I've asked her to pull her blind down so it's darker for him/her too.

| Hi Lou! She based in Oldham, Lancashire, so if you know anyone nearby I'd be most grateful! Barbara is based in Wythenshaw I think. I'm not up on what's where in Lancashire, but if you have a few numbers I'm more than happy to ring round till I get the right one! x x | |

| Not managed to get hold of Barbara, but I put my sister and her neighbour in touch with BHPS and they've given them a more local number. Someone is on their way to pick him/her up shortly! | |

| Me too. So glad the little thing will get some help! I'd love to know how it managed to get past a dog and 3 people then all the way up a flight of stairs and into a bathroom without getting noticed, hehe! x x | |
