They tend to arrive in worse condition than at other times of the year, as they struggle more to find food and don\u2019t do well with the change in weather.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they\u2019ve not managed to find enough food to get their weight up in time for hibernation, then they need our help through the colder months.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMembers of the public can help hoglets have a better chance of thriving by putting a shallow dish of water in the garden.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey can also leave out hedgehog food or wet cat food, as long as it isn\u2019t in jelly and is not fish based as this isn\u2019t something found in their natural diet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople can also help the hoglets already in our care by donating food through the centre\u2019s Amazon wishlist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf anyone spots a hedgehog out during the day then we would advise people to contact us. If a hoglet or young hedgehog is on their own or if a hedgehog looks thin or wobbly then people should contact our animal helpline on 03000 999 999.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>People can purchase items from the Scottish SPCA National Wildlife Centre\u2019s Amazon wishlist here:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3rN4pxj\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3rN4pxj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Further information on hedgehogs can be found on our&nbsp;website:&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scottishspca.org\/advice\/hedgehog\">www.scottishspca.org\/advice\/hedgehog<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re concerned about an animal call our&nbsp;animal helpline on 03000 999 999 for advice and assistance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are urging people to help hoglets this autumn by putting out food and water.
