Squeeeeeee! First Sighting of Leila's Little Ones

5/2/2016

Comments

 
After almost a month of waiting very patiently, Leila brought her little ones out of the nest tonight to explore their garden enclosure. We spotted 2 of them and they are completely adorable.

Hoglets!!

9/1/2016

Comments

 
I am a Grand-hogma!! We just popped outside to give Leila her last dose of medicine and Christian noticed a little baby hoglet inside her nest!  He quickly covered the nest back up to not disturb.

The following photo of Leila was taken on the first day we got her from the SPCA. She was treated and released, but recently came back to our garden needing treatment for a bad case of lung worm. We have been treating her and she was just about to be released again when we discovered the little surprise. Can't wait to meet them. 

​Note - If you ever come across a nest of hoglets, it is best to leave them be, otherwise you might scare the mother away and the hoglets would not survive.

Farewell Little Leila 

24/10/2015

Tonight we bravely opened the door at Hoggiton tonight to Leila-Hoggis back into the big-wild world. We have had her since she was a baby, so it is really tough letting go. Keep safe out there Leila - stay away from any big loud things that move!. Thanks for all your advice Hedgehog Rescue New Zealand.

Bon Voyage Leila-Hoggis McDiggery

A hoglets journey:
Picture
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.

Open Door at Hoggiton

Tonight we open the door at Hoggiton and give Leila-Hoggis McDiggery access to the big-wild world of Birkdale. We have had her since she was a baby, so it is tough letting go. 

Leila is a little home-body and unlike her other clan members (Hedgepig McD) she didn't once try to escape from her outdoor enclosure, so I am sure she will hang around our garden and we will continue to leave food and water out for her.

Bath time

Bath time is not all it is made out to be in popular media (see left). This is the real deal. Unscripted, uncut. No make up artists or special effects. You will not find a single bubble or pair of sunglasses in sight.

Hedgehogs do not usually need to be bathed, but for 'personal reasons', Leila needed a little rinse this day.

Thank you for my playhouse Helle and Pablo. Sorry to hear that you accidentally used your brand new tyre instead of the old one to make my house. But I love how the 'expensive' new tread gives me such superior grip hehe. Love from Leila-Hoggis McDiggery (Queen of the Castle).

Introducing Leila-Hoggis McDiggery

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.
