Hogs are not too fussy, but chicken cat food is generally recommended and they usually love mealworms (bird food), but they're a bit like crisps for them - a treat but little food value. Water is probably the best drink and remember NO milk or bread.

So are you going to keep him/her? What about the back leg. Could it be broken? Good luck whatever you decide to do. I hope he/she survives!

I was chatting today to a friend in China. She bought an African Dwarf Hedgehog. She liked it so much she bought another. Now she has seven baby Dwarf African hedgehogs that are eating her out of house and home
So if you do end up having to keep it cos it can't be released into the wild, whatever you do don't find another. Otherwise you'll be working just to pay for the hedgehog food

It's not Ned she's called Nedine.
She's gonna be OK I'm told. Had some antiB's to deal with a manky leg infection and she's back at the sanctuary.

On the subject of hedgehogs,i went for a walk today and saw a hedgehog on the pavement,the first one i've seen in about 2 years. It was near to the church up the road that's being restored,so i asked the stone masons working there if they had a towel or cloth i could use to pick it up and and put it somewhere safe. By the time they'd found one the hedgehog had gone. They must be able to move at some speed,or it could've been that it was camouflaged among the fallen leaves. Anyway,i didn't see a squashed hedgehog on my way back,which i was half expecting. I hope it wandered off to somewhere safe.
