How did this HEDGEHOG get stuck in a garage door?!

- We've seen many things at Wildlife Aid, but this particular rescue proved to be another first for Simon!
We were recently called out to rescue a hedgehog that had become stuck in a garage door. Once we arrived it became clear that this was going to be far from easy - the hedgehog had become wedged in a gap just 1 inch wide!
Although getting the frightened animal out was very tricky for Simon, the hedgehog had another problem... The trauma of the door had resulted in 'pop off syndrome' - where the orbicularis muscle (usually used to let them curl up) slipped over the top of the pelvis and was stuck on the poor hogs back. Now it was down to Maru to give it that all-important second chance back in the wild...

poor little thing :(
That must have been hurting like hell :(
Hopefully he feels much better now!
@@wildlifeaid yeah I loved the fact that it looked like he was going to thanks Simon by doing the same all over again haha
Dude... I was actually on the edge of my seat, that was too real.
MrParkinthedark I like your wings
@@emeraldqueen1994 Thank you, its a real photo from the Liberian Civil War, there were so many factions that at a certain point some started wearing straight up Halloween costumes to differentiate themselves throughout the conflict, in this case a child soldier wore butterfly wings.... But all that aside, I very much enjoy the Wildlife Aid channel! Simon and his crew are doing the right kind of work and I support them 100%
I am not ashamed to say that I was also chanting "Come on, come on, you can do it, you can do it" as I watched. Nerve-wracking despite the very professional, British understatement of it all.
@@MrParkinthedark That is crazy and now I'm Googling Liberian Civil War costumes. Like I didn't have any other things to do today!
Thanks very much. Both Simon and Lawrie (who filmed this) were equally as tense when we trying to free him!
Poor baby. What a place to get stuck in!! Thank you, life savers!
I'm english, living in the states for 11 years. This guy reminds me of my dad. Brings back nice memories of home. I love how gentle you are taking care of the little animals. Im definitely going to subscribe.
Thanks so much. That's nice to hear! :)
Simon: Ok, you cant go into the garage again, silly.
Silly Hedgehog: Oh my, is that a tight place beside the garage I just got stuck in and where I problably will get stuck again? Awesome!
Haha! Luckily that led into the garden :)
@@wildlifeaid Thats good to hear :) Love your guys work! You are amazing :)
@@ZaraMaBa Thanks so much. That's kind of you to say :)
I said "don't get stuck!" as I watched him shuff into that gap! 😂. Thank you wildlife aid for all your hard work and Simon for not crying when his fingers were all prickled .
@@Fluzzlewett that little pedaling of air with the back leg when it tried to push itself in the tight spot made me say the same thing. Looked exactly like it got stuck again but luckily didn't.
So glad he made it to be released, thank you!❤️
So are we! Thanks for the support!
“You can't just walk into the garage, that is just silly“
Hedgie: “Watch me“ :)
Wow, I was holding my breath! That looked so abnormal, poor wee thing! What a great rescue, Simon and Lucy! Hurrah for the Hedgehog!!! Truly a miracle you found the problem and fixed it. Now he is in no more pain. Thank you Simon, Lucy, Vet!!!
We'd all love to have a sweet hubby like this guy!🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much, I'm in tears. I'm so happy you saved the hedgehog! I have a pet hedgehog named pineapple and I would be heart broken if something like this happened to her!
Lucky ducky Lulu what an adorable name for your hedgehog!
Thank you so much. We're so glad this little one could be saved :)
Glad I'm not the only hedgehog owner that cried at this video
Poor little hedgedonkey! 😢
Hopefully he's feeling much better now!
We don't have hedgehogs where I live but if we did I would spend most of my time in the backyard just looking out for them. They are SO cute.
Awww...Same here buddy🤗🤗🤗. They are Jolly as hecc!
Britain's best loved mammal! :D
I am from Poland and you don't even look for them, you listen for them instead as they come out at night. Not hard to find one in my garden.
A sincere thank you for all the amazing work you do. I'm glad this little guy had a nice recovery.
The Guardian Devil nice profile pic 😉
Thanks so much :)
I am still so amazed at the skill of this veterinarian to put the muscle back into place!
Yay, another happy ending for critter and Simon. Thank you:)
Thanks for your support!
poor little hedgehog so glad they were able to save it and make it better 😊
My heart just stopped for a second, when I saw this poor little guy stuck! So glad, he recovered, that was such a great work from all of you. Thank you. 💜 🦔🦔🦔 💜
Maybe he likes the car?
Thanks so much. We're so glad he made it!
Poor little hedge hog
Wonderful job Simon❤❤❤
Thanks very much. Hopefully he's feeling much better now :)
Lovely couple - so concerned for the little one. Wonderful outcome.
You are great people. Thank you.And our small friend is health happy and free :-)
This show gives me so much joy. I love this guy and the wild life center. Thank you for doing this.
Thanks so much! We're glad you like our videos!
My toenails were all curled up, during the extraction process. That looked tremendously painful. 😰 Glad the little 'donkey' was sedated during the worst part of it. I didn't think it was going to make it either, but I'm really impressed you prove me wrong, again and again. 🤗 Well done!
The same can be said of Simon and Lawrie during the rescue! We're so glad he made a full recovery :)
I was afraid this rescue wasn't going to make it, excellent rescue Simon!
AntBee I like your profile picture 💛🌹
So were we to be honest. The damage was horrific, but we're so glad Maru could fix him up!
These hedgehogs are the cutest things!
Poor little heagde thank you Simon xxx
Thanks so much :)
Save our Hedgehogs
Too many get killed by vehicles or human error..........🐾
Sadly... 96% decline in hedgehogs since the 1950's... It's a horrible statistic.
@@wildlifeaid That is utterly heartbreaking. What is the biggest cause? RTAs? Habitat loss? Slug pellets? People keeping gardens too neat and blocking up gaps in fences?
Just wanted to let you guys know that when i suffered from a heavy trauma all i would watch are your videos. ❤️
I did too!!!
Luzia Keller you have a good choice of TH-cam channels👍 I hope you’re doing well now 🙏
Luzia, many gentle hugs .
We're so sorry to hear you were injured and we hope you're fully recovered now! Thank you for your kind words and support :)
I am much better and those videos helped me trough this dark time. ❤️
Well done sir! You are a true hero! Hedgehogs are such awesome little animals!
Thank you so much :)
Can confirm
can confirm
@@dapperhedgehog2153 also i wasn't trying to copy you i just saw this comment and thought to say that, but you already had xD
This poor hedgehog 🦔🦔🦔 Thank you for rescue him ❤️🥰 ❤️❤️❤️
I loved seeing his little feet when he sort of stood on tiptoes before beetling off...what magical little beings these are.
poor boy.
thank you.
bless you.
Thanks so much :)
Awwww ❤❤❤
The people who called was so sweet too, makeing him confortable the way they can ❤❤❤
These people are amazing. Not all heroes wear capes..
Thanks so much :)
He was rescued by angels and then he waddled off ❤️
Thank you!
Oh my goodness! That poor little thing!!! I almost couldn’t watch but I had to make sure the little pog was ok.
Maru is such a skilled hedgehog masseur.
I wish there was an organisation like Wildlife Aid where I live. Years ago, my mum spotted an underweight hedgehog in our garden one night in November. We kept him inside overnight and contacted a national animal rescue charity the following morning but they refused to come out and they told us we would have to keep the hedgehog until the beginning of June!
We weren't given any advice on care of the poor thing. We built a cage and run for the hedgehog (inevitably named Sonic) and fed him cat food. We also tried to de-flea him, which involved using a spray but having to skip the part that instructed you to run the spray into the animal's skin. Sonic would even use a cat litter tray as his toilet area. Because we had to pick him up every day to clean out the cage (hedgehog faeces smells awful) he became used to humans and stopped curling up when we lifted him. He enjoyed being stroked on the snout too.
We didn't know about a soft release, we just put him outside one nice, warm, June evening at sunset and put some straw in the undergrowth to give him somewhere to sleep. We put food out for him but after a couple of days, it wasn't being eaten. It's awful to think that in trying to save him, we probably made him unable to survive in the wild. If there had been videos like yours at that time, we would've known what to do. I hope they're helping people in other parts of the UK save our wildlife. Thank you for all that you do, it's amazing.
scottishastronomer You did the right thing. They are very territorial and releasing him back to his garden ensures survival. I am sure he made it.
@@VagoniusThicket Thank you. I just hope he made it. I hope he reverted to wild behaviour and didn't trust humans. At least he was nice and fat, while his rivals would have lost weight after hibernation. That should've given him a head start.
My current apartment has a large garden that's shared between the residents of the 8 apartments. Parts of it have been allowed to grow wild to help our wildlife. We have had a family of hedgehogs, there seems to be a breeding pair and their offspring, which happily share the food we put out for some stray cats.
Last autumn, I found one of the adults outside in daylight, looking thin and it seemed to be unwell, as it moved slowly and didn't react when it was picked up. I had to call the same organisation that had left us to care for Sonic. Thankfully this time they came to collect the hedgehog and take it to the vet. They just returned her and she looks very healthy and seems to like the hedgehog house we got for her.
Just made a donation after seeing this, you guy's are the best kind of people.
Thank you so much, that's incredibly generous of you!
It was very nice of you to return those people's hedgehog to them.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS
That was one prickly situation !
( Yeap .. had to write that .. sorry ! just too tempting ! )
Really happy this little poglet made it !
Thanks so much for all you do . Hugs to the whole team .
Made it hard "to go fast"
*groan* :D
Thanks so much. Much appreciated :)
Faith in humanity restored
Thanks so much :)
Looks like Sonic glitched through that Garage Door and couldn't get unstuck.
Must be Sonic 06
Oh my... that's too much emotions to watch this. Great work saving him!
Thanks so much :)
Thank you for saving the hedgehog. Thank you for "waisting" medication on the little creature, for not just giving up or using force.
I cringed while watching the extraction. the spikes made a kind of a crunch while you moved the hedgehog, it made me fear there must be some bones broken. And when the little guy looked so misshapen after you got him loose...
Thank you so much for helping it.
And thank goodness the damage was only on the muscles and not spine.
I love you 💕 all so much for the amazing work that you do. So glad the little hedgehog is okay. Great job!
Thanks very much! We're so glad he's ok too! :)
Dont like seeing animals in distress, but his passion for wildlife in awesome. I would have worked with animals for a living, if done over again. They so need our help. Thanks to every / all groups on the planet that does this in every country !!!
Whenever I’m feeling down I watch your videos. Thank you for your amazing work.
ajdoman317 I’m addicted to these videos. Just found them maybe a month or so ago and have just been binge watching every since. They are wonderful though I do get so sad when an animal has to be put down. It is bitter sweet...my mind understands that is the best most humane thing to do, but my heart still weeps.
Thanks so much. We all hope you're feeling better :)
You're a great guy.
I've watched many of your rescues, each one more amazing than the last one
Thanks so much. That's really kind of you. Thanks for your support :)
Thank you for all you do. That little hedgehog was adorable.
Congratulations for another sweet save! I was giving that poggie virtual hugs! Bless it!!! Thanks again Wildlife Aid! You rock!!
Thanks so much. Very kind of you to say!
Oh Simon you and your crew are wonderful. God bless you all.
That poor hedgehog and you know he was trying and trying to get through for who knows how long and the tighter is got the more he hurt. makes you wonder how long he was even stuck in there for. Given that I sometimes don't open my garage door but every few days he could have been stuck there longer than we imagine. I am so used to a run of episodes that were just silly foxes or errant ducks and swans that just needed a bit of relocation and off they went I was not expecting something as tense as one of the 999 emergency shows! Given that hedgehogs usually bounce back pretty quickly, or so I understand, a 8 day hospitalization goes to show you that he really had a rough time of it.
Hedgehogs are usually very hardy creatures, but we had worried about this little one several times during his recovery. We're so glad he made it :)
I would have shot it in the head and left it there
@@satanas6740 do you enjoy your role as King Asshole? I'm betting you do.
@@madeleinebaier5347 His username is Satanas- I'm guessing edgy teen.
@persephone dim I don't believe in satan because I'm atheist, I just like the username and I'm not trying to scare anyone on freaking youtube, I'm just being edgy, but seriously, you can't deny that was one dumbass hedgehog to get stuck in a garage door and then immediately go into another tight space right after being released.
This wild life aid are incredible, amazing,thank you so much for what you do for all these creatures x
Good Heavens!!! Silly little thing. Thank goodness all went well. Hopefully, he won't get stuck again. Thank you for your kindness in helping him.
Poor baby, this really pulled my heart strings
Awww. Little hoglet. I'm so glad you were able to resolve that awful muscular displacement! I tried to rescue a hedgehog once - it was in the middle of the road in daylight, crawling very slowly. Unfortunately the poor thing died before someone from the vet could come and pick him up. He was about 400g (I weighed him after he'd died) and had over 20 ticks, so I don't think he really had much of a chance even if he'd got immediate care. I tried to give him food and water and he did try to drink, but he wasn't really strong enough. It was a minor miracle that I didn't get any ticks biting me, since I was holding him after he'd died and was cooling down! Very foolish of me.
This precious little “ bobblet” would’ve never made it if not for all the help and dedication his human friends put in to his healing. THIS is what humans should be doing a LOT more of to make up for even a fraction of what we’ve taken and done to the other species on this planet. In my country (United States) there is very little resources put into wildlife rescue and rehab. Trying to find help for stuck and injured animals is a nightmare, so most animals are left to suffer and die when they could be rescued treated and released. I love watching Simons work and hope it will inspire more people to work towards having similar services in their area , I am for tax funding for these programs rather than making them Beg for donations to do the work they do!
I love hedgehogs! Have two of them. Shaymin and Sonic! They are my babies! Thanks for all you do!
OMG, your hedgehogs have the cutest names 😍
Aww!Thank you!
A couple days ago, while I was doing an errand for my mom, I came across a gull with a broken wing in the parking lot. Some people told me to leave it because "it has germs" or to "step on it, it will die anyways", but I know I can't just leave it there. I tried to catch it like the other gull from before, but it's almost like you chasing that cormorant from this video: th-cam.com/video/n9403FHsylg/w-d-xo.html. Until I somehow managed to guide it into a nearby story where it was finally caught, albeit by a passing customer who dropped a shopping basket with little to no regards for the other wing. The staff took over with one of them calling the local animal shelter, but I don't know why or how people can be either indifferent or downright cruel toward wildlife and I sometimes wonder if I've done the right thing... But anyways, I would like to thank you for having a good heart and a gentle soul to care for all life.
Thanks so much for the kind words and thank you for trying to help that poor gull. We hope he got the treatment he needed in the end!
Well done you for trying, so many people are anti-gulls it's sad. Herring Gulls (the ones we most often see at the seaside or nesting on the roof) are actually red-listed in the British Birds of Conservation Concern list due to ongoing declines, but people still persecute them. They are not 'pests' or 'vermin' just another species struggling to survive amidst human over-development, habitat loss, over-fishing. I once reported a poorly juvenile Herring Gull who was limping badly, not where I live so was not familiar with local rescue facilites. Noone came and the poor baby was next day dead in the car park - must have been clipped by a car. I was heartbroken, it seemed like noone cared. I cannot understand any animosity towards wildlife, especially when in need, and usually our fault in some way.
@@paularedmond8708 I don't like this one species of gull in Finland, because it takes so much space from other gulls. That gull has been successful in integrating with human settlements, while other species have trouble.
That said, if I saw an individual gull of that species stuck or hurt somewhere, I would try to help it.
Heck, I have a phobia of snakes (particularly snakes in the wild), but am still angry if someone kills one, they are endangered here, and it isn't the poor snake's fault that I am hysterically afraid of them.
Humans *can* afford to understand the pain of an animal, and our capacity for empathy doesn't risk our species or individuals. So why not avoid cruelty?
All humans should try their best to treat other species with kindness. Just because we are "at the top of the food chain" doesn't mean we should act like a**holes.
@@Sienisota I don't like speciesism personally, simply because I think if we start persecuting or hating on a particular species for being more successful and more damaging to other more vulnerable species, we humans are about the worst on this Earth. If we didn't keep meddling with the balance of nature, introducing non-natives, spreading invasive species, changing the environment and habitat so hugely that only the most robust species thrive and the vulnerable, endangered, rare species that are locally scarce or specialised in their diet/habitat requirements then most things would balance well. But our selfish behaviour amplifies problems, making it harder for nature to balance itself naturally. I used to hate all slimeys, creepies, wrigglies or spiders, daddy longlegs, earwigs were my worst. Then I started wildlife photography and now start to appreciate all the different species and their place in the ecosystem. It's not for humans to decide which species are good or bad, some might be in the wrong place or in big numbers but we need to find the most ethical, sustainable, natural and humane ways of dealing with them when we have made mistakes
Thanks to good samaritans and to you, what a big patience 👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️
Im so grateful you put the effort to rehabilitate and release these animals. Too many times where an injured animal is taken in and they just euthanise because its more cost effective, convenient or because they are least concerned as a species. Ive even had the one time where a call operator said to leave the injured animal and let the fox deal with it. So a very big thank you!
Thanks so much. Every life matters here :)
Poor little hedge-piggy. Glad that he was successfully rescued.
Thank you! So are we!
Those little legs exposed while squeezing between the wall and the garage were the cutest.
Thank you❤️
Poor thing! Heart-rending to see him in such a state. He must have been terrified. All's well that ends with a few stitches, some free meals and a release. Stay well and out of garages from now on, Poglet! Good job, Crew, as usual!
Thanks so much :)
I'm crying over this little guy
I wish we had these beautiful little creatures in the US. Very glad there wasn’t permanent damage and it could go back home. You all do amazing work on behalf of the animals.
Thanks so much :)
Sonic stop sneaking into people's garages!!! Silly Hodge podge!!!!! Lol!!!!
I was searching for Sonic comments XDD
I had to shut my eyes when you pulling him back through great rescue as always.x
It certainly was a very tense time for all involved!
I love these clips, it gives you faith in humanity.
Superb vet and rescuers!
Thanks for what you do! It makes God smile I am sure.
Thanks very much :)
He was lucky to be found, let alone rescued. Just what has happened to Simon's boot...... It was empty & clean !!!!
Yes, he got very lucky!
I'd love to say that Simon cleaned the car out, but to be honest it was a different Volvo!
I am so glad that there are great organisations like you guys helping these animals I had really thought that hoggie wasnt gonna make it but I am so impressed by you guys
Thanks so much :)
Wow ! Gosh ! Thanks for helping him 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Bless you Simon and all of the hardworking team at Wildlife Aid you are true guardians of all animals large and small .❤
Thank you so much :)
Yes! I love you guys so much. Me and my hedgehog salute your fine efforts.
Thanks so much :)
@@wildlifeaid Cheers!
You're doing such a wonderfull job mate , god bless ..
It's a good opportunity to remind people as well to make sure to leave a hole in their garden fence to facilitate
hedgehogs's passage ...
Greetings from France
Poor little thing went through a lot. Hope they do great from now on.
Hopefully he is feeling much better now :)
I can't believe they let him go right by the door he got stuck in. I smell a sequel.
POV NW They are very territory oriented and will die if released in a strange area. Same for many turtles .
@@VagoniusThicket ; I didn't know that. Thanks! 🙋
One of the best rescues. Nice job! Can hodgepigs struggle and what does that look like? lol😁😁
Oh this one made me cry even though we got a happy end. Poor fella.
Well done!!.👍👏
"You can't go back in the garage."
*Sets it down in front of a garage*
Alfredo C they have to release the animal where they found it as they don’t know where the nest is and the hedgehog will know exactly where it is by sniffing around.
FULL OF LOVE👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
😨 thank god he’s ok now! Poor little fella
Thank you! We're so glad he recovered well :)
Maru is amazing! Please let her know I think she's a hero!
Thanks so much. We will pass that on, but you can also catch her on our next livestream! :)
I WAS On THE ENDGE OF MY SEAT!
The poor little cutie! Thanks so much for helping the poor little animal. And the vet did such a great job! Oh, thanks so much for sharing and for all your work!
Greetings from Germany
Thanks so much for watching and for your kind comments! Guten Abend aus England! :)
Has he been saved and savy after the rescue? 🦔 Oh Godness i was worried and hesitated to watch more. Thank you for him ! Congratulations !!!
Yes! He made a full recovery! :)
Oh my heart was beating so fast , sweet baby thank you for helping
Cute prickly fella 🤗
They are very cute :)
U r great sir....Lots of love from India🇮🇳✌️
Thanks so much :)
A blessing in disguise that you happen to find him! Thank you so much for doing what you do and saving this little beauty an all the other little beautys you have helped!🖤
Absolutely amazing rescue....but the most important thing I noticed out of the whole thing was what in the world happened to Simons trunk?!??
It's the other car! ;)
I have never seen any animal so deformed and still living. It was weird. Thank you for the excellent work you do all these years!
It’s so cute, just like a lil blob ♥️
Thank you for all you do!
Thanks for your support! :)
Thats about a $2000 united states dollar veterinarian bill where i live. Wow!! Such a merciful group of people, helping an insignificant tiny beast.
Don't think that little guy is too smart. But Simon is the best.
Thanks very much :)
