RAF St Mawgan’s Hedgehog Conservation Project continues to thrive, with a growing population of hedgehogs benefiting from the station’s dedicated care. As numbers rise, so too does the need for swift intervention and today was no exception.
On Wednesday morning, Project Lead Corporal Paul Smith responded to a report of a motionless baby hedgehog found out in the open. The hoglet, estimated to be under two weeks old, had strayed from her nest and was in urgent need of help.
Thanks to the quick action of Corporal Smith and the support of Prickles and Paws Hedgehog Sanctuary, the tiny hedgehog, now affectionately named Spitfire, is safe, warm and recovering in an incubator at the Hedgehog Sanctuary.
