Introducing Cedric McDiggery

Introducing our newest addition to the McDiggery Clan - Cedric McDiggery. Please don't be disturbed by how he looks now, because he will be as good as new with handsome new quills growing back in no time.  He is almost completely naked today. He has a bad case of mange (contracted from pet cats and dogs) and it sounds like he may also have lung worm. Good news is that both are entirely treatable. Keep posted to watch the transformation. 

Cedric was rescued by the lovely Lilli from Sandringham who contacted Hedgehog Rescue New Zealand and they placed him in our foster care. If you come across a hedgehog like this that has a very strong unpleasant smell it is likely to have mange and Hedgehog Rescue New Zealand​ can give you some helpful advice on saving these beautiful beings from literally being eaten alive.
