Arizona is a young hedgehog less than a year old, who we took in at the end of October 2023. Poor Arizona had contracted giardiasis, an intestinal disease caused by a parasite. He had lost so much weight that we feared for his life!
Fortunately, a suitable treatment managed to get rid of this parasite. As he is still recovering, we plan to keep him under watch for another two months.
A rich and vitamin-filled diet would benefit Arizona during his recovery. Canned food initially designed for kittens would be the most suited to his needs, providing him with precious nutrients!
Highly digestible, this kind of food would not risk irritating his already weakened intestines. Arizona would thus be able to regain weight, and gradually improve his overall health.
Since our inception, our association has cared for 160 hedgehogs in 2023 and already 11 in 2024, while carrying out awareness campaigns and interventions in schools.
On average, the hedgehogs stay 43 days in our centre, a period which can extend for those convalescing or hibernating. Our hedgehog care centre relies primarily on donations from individuals, as we have not yet received any grants… Your support with food and blankets would be of great assistance!
