| Wildie. The face is the wrong shape for an APH and look at the size of the feet. | |

| Well the hog can't be released because it is too vulnerable so she can legally keep it as long as she tries as hard as possible to give it the most natural life as possible. The best she could do was build it a large pen including roof covering. BUT the law may be different in Ireland.
I personally would build it a pen but then I have a big enough garden to do so, or alternatively I would speak to wildlife sanctuaries and see what they could offer the hog.
Before doing any of this though, a better photo would be good, the hog standing on the ground with something next to it for size reference. | |

| she has signed up to here, but she cant get used to it....willow is quite small, looking at the pics. but the feet are huge ans very sprayed........gem have you ever seen an albino hedgehog??? are they really rare?? and when its born white, woud it be amongst other whites or is it a "throw back", y wouldnt the mum kill it if its different? and would it produce other albino babies or normal brown ones? sorry with the questions its really intriguing.
i have passed on your advice and ill see what she says.....but willow is her pet now....so i dout she would wanna put her outside....unfortunatly.....lol it must be nice to know she has something special tho. lol | |
