Meet the McDiggery Clan

Introducing Cedric McDiggery

18/5/2015

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.

Bon Voyage Leila-Hoggis McDiggery

A hoglets journey:

This is baby Leila when we first collected her from NZ Bird Rescue. She was found by the SPCA earlier that day on the roadside being pecked at by magpies. No wonder she was very shy. Poor little baby. She was grateful for the security and warmth of McDiggery Hospital. She recovered from mange and a parasite infestation, and then spent a lot of time in our outdoor enclosure 'Hoggiton' learning how to be a big hedgehog.

Leila's favourite position in the McDiggery hospital - warming her little tummy on the hot-water bottle. Leila's nose was her foods favourite position :)

Here is our beautiful healthy girl on her release day. We have opened the doors of Hoggiton. Bon Voyage. Keep safe out there little sweetheart.

Introducing Pinnochio McDiggery

Pinocchio McDiggery is the first boy of the McDiggery clan and had the longest, cutest nose we have seen. He was only with us a brief time before his little body gave way due to a host of illnesses (pneumonia, lung-worm, mange and a parasite infestation). We are so grateful to have shared our love and warmth in his final days. His beautiful little soul moved on to hoggie-heaven 
25 April 2015.

Parasites are usually transmitted to hedgehogs from pet dogs and cats who have not had their worming treatments. Please make sure your pets are wormed to help prevent these little creatures from suffering needlessly.

Introducing Maggie-May McDiggery

Howdy folks, I am Maggie-May McDiggery and I was found laying out in the sun on Christmas day. Luckily our rescuer knew that it is not usual behaviour for us hedgehogs to sunbathe during the day, we are usually snuggled up tight in a dark burrow. After she called the NZ Hedgehog Rescue I was placed in the McDiggery hospital and helped on the road to recovery. After a course of antibiotics and parasite treatment, and numerous escape attempts from hospital care, I am now happily zooming around in the wilderness of Herald Island.

Hello, I am Leila-Hoggis and I was rescued as a wee-baby by the SPCA. I was found on the roadside being bullied by magpies. I didn't have energy to fight them off due to having mange and all other kinds of parasites (not transferable to humans). After spending several weeks in intensive care, I am now in my temporary garden enclosure learning how to be a hedgehog before I get released back into the wild.

Hi Everyone, my name is Hedgepig-Hoggem McDiggery and I am the first of the McDiggery Clan. I was found on the roadside in Grey Lynn with nasty Mange and lungworm, which made me very sick and had taken most of my lovely quills. After a lengthy recovery in foster care, I am all better and back in the wild digging up a storm and flaunting my beautiful new quills. Thanks for your interest in supporting my friends and me. Love Hedgepig McDiggery.
