Hedgehog Hospital Open Thread

Couple Turns Their Home Into A Hedgehog Hospital - Complete With A Maternity Ward And 'Hogbulances'

Sharon and Andy Longhurst started Burntisland Hedgehog Haven nearly three years ago after rescuing two sick hedgehogs they found by the roadside. The experience inspired them to learn how to care for the tiny creatures -- and before long, their passion turned into a full-time mission to save them.
Since then, the Longhursts have treated 567 hedgehogs, caring for sick, injured, and orphaned ones around the clock. Their garage has been transformed into an ICU with seven incubators and 40 cages, while their garden now hosts a special hedgehog maternity ward. A dedicated team of 18 volunteers helps with cleaning, feeding, and transporting hedgehogs in the rescue's "Hogbulances."

Sharon, who works as a school crossing guard, and Andy, a bus driver, have poured their hearts -- and much of their free time -- into keeping the rescue running. They even fundraise through local events, raffles, and races to cover monthly costs of about Ł800 for food, bedding, and electricity, plus another Ł3,500 a year for vet bills.
"If there's a hedgehog out there that needs help and it's in pain, I can't say no," Sharon told BBC News. "It's a full-time job -- we always say we have to draw a line, but then the phone rings and we say, 'Bring it in.'"

...
Of the hundreds of hedgehogs they've treated, 65% have survived and been released back into the wild -- a meaningful achievement given that European hedgehogs are now listed as "near threatened" due to habitat loss and other environmental pressures.
"We'll do this until we're unable to," Andy said. "They're adorable -- really lovely animals."

32 There is a Hallmark Channel type movie on Netflix where the girl from the big city comes back home to a small town to save Christmas. We’ve seen 1000 of these right?

The twist on this one is she starts a male stripper show to save her parents’ bar about to be foreclosed on right before Christmas.

Guess if she does or does NOT fall in love with one of the strippers? Lol.

My family watched it and laughed out loud throughout. Solid comedy.

To date, no hedgehogs have survived the branding, but they do provide a steady source of income from selling the carcasses to the local Roma population.

"Near threatened."

A.K.A. "Not threatened."

Bunch of IUCN enviro-weenie BS.

Note that, on their scale, the safest you can be is "Least Concern." Like humans and mosquitoes and rats and such.

Never "no concern at all."

The scale goes "Least Concern, Near Threatened, Vulnerable, Endangered, Critically Endangered, Extinct in the Wild, Extinct."

So be ready to panic at any moment for any species!

80 The prolapsed anus comment is truthful. I listen to someone on the radio who got a hedgehog, due to a girl he liked. The girl left, and he was stuck with the hedgehog. Came home from work and it's anus was stuck out more than an inch. Weekend, emergency vet, would have been a $400 bill. He really wasn't thrilled with the hedgehog and made a deal with the vet to fix it and sell it, if it didn't cost him anything.

172 Jan. 7, the DOJ announced it was suing tech company RealPage and six landlords, including LivCor, which operates under asset management company Blackstone.

The department accused the landlords of using RealPage’s software to participate in algorithmic pricing schemes that harmed renters.

The proposed consent decree between the DOJ and LivCor prohibits algorithmic coordination and the exchange of sensitive data with competitors.

LivCor is required to refrain from taking part in or attending meetings involving competing landlords that are hosted by RealPage. The company must also cooperate with the United States’ claims against other defendants in the case.
