Young hedgehog trapped between two walls!

- Hedgehogs are, sadly, becoming an increasingly rare sight in the UK, but this family got quite a shock when they found this one trapped in their front garden!
The unlucky hog had managed to fall down between a fence and a wall and could not escape. Luckily, Simon's 'hedgehog extraction tool' came to the rescue and he was able to gently lift the hedgehog to safety.
With no injuries and a full belly, it happily trotted off back to its home!

I think it's so nice that Simon let the boy move the hedgehog to the yard and included him in the rescue! :-)
So admiring of Simon being an active and kind adult, encouraging the interest from the kid and letting him be involved in the process! Such a great way to educate and share an appreciation for wildlife in a way that benefits wildlife and humans simultaneously 🥰 modelling very good patience and kindness!
Simon growling about his car. Hedgehog lingerie. The things I learn on Wildlife Aid!
The "1st floor: lingerie" is a reference from "Are You Being Served?". Unfortunately a scientist got into hot water when making the same joke in a lift earlier this year.
We live to educate! ;)
What a sweet video. I loved that the kid was curious and wanted to be involved!
Thank you! It's always nice to see young people loving wildlife at such an early age :)
I hope that little boy will start helping animals... he seems to care
Very much so. It's so great to see the younger generation so involved with wildlife :)
That little boy will now be a hedgehog fan for life! So sweet!
Fingers crossed! :)
I get a bit emotional every time Simon smiles like that.
these are the cutest little things. Thank you for coming to his assistance.
Angry pin cushions! :D Thanks for watching :)
What an apt description!
Haha! One of many!
The ditch down the side of the alley of the house is cleaner than simon's car
That is very true!
I Love All Of The Simone Rescues!😆I Love That He Gives The Animals A Voice And Seems To Know What They Are Thinking👍✨✨
i saw a wild hedgehog at my aunt’s house in scotland! we don’t have them where i live so it was really cool.
i love what you do - thank you so much for everything you do for these sweet little creatures ♥️♥️
Thank you! Sadly, they are becoming a pretty rare sight nowadays :(
yep! I do see hedgehogs near my area (I've actually met two face to face, but it seems only once a year or so), one of them was an individual spiky ball of cute where my mum and her work colleague helped rescue a tiny hedgehog that was getting too close for comfort with the road, so they picked it up and took it to my house as behind our house is a nature reserve, so we thought it'll be best to take it to the nature reserve so it's at least safe! the other one was a fairly big hedgehog that was in my garden, which questions me how it found its way in, but I don't mind! it was a nice sight to see ^^
How wild was it?! Was it tearing apart the garden? Joking, I love hedgehogs
We have lost count of how many Headggies & Hogglets we have rescued over the years my 1st was a baby walking in the middle of a busy road when I was comming home from infant school, I scooped it up & took it home for a drink & some mashed up dog food, I fell in love with them & had a renewed interest in all wild animals (animal mad)
xx thank you Simon xx
That's great to hear! Thank you for doing your bit to help wildlife!
Simon is a hero! I hope he reads this...
Thank you very much! That's very kind of you :)
I saved one too! They are sweet creatures! Good job Simon.Love from Italy!
Hearing him say life couldn't be better watching him save the hedge hog priceless.
That child was great!
Aww. You are so wonderful. Thanks so much for all the things you do to save wildlife. Bless the family for calling you. Most people today don't seem to bother. I'm chuffed that there are still people who do.
Thank you very much! We are really grateful that there are so many people who care enough to call us :)
Bravo Simon, family and little boy! Great team rescue ! Thank you for the education as well.He enjoyed his lunch & I enjoyed it too !
Thank you! I'm glad to hear that! :)
Welll done teaching another generation of rescuers
Glad he's okay, your work is great can't put into words how thankful I am for your work
Aww thank you. That is very kind :)
Thank you for save Sonic! He has a tendency to fall down pits.
Haha thank you!
What dear litte creatures you guys have such awesome little critters there like hedgehogs , badgers , foxes , deers and lovely bird life 😊
Thank you! British wildlife is amazing, even if it is often overlooked :)
Aw I loved you let the kid pet the hedgie. I grew up watching animal planet so I kinda have a soft spot for kids curious about animals. Since I can relate.
Beautiful hedgehog Animals often hide in places of difficult access. Thank you Simon and the entire Wildife Aid team for the great work you do for the animals. You are admirable. I am sorry that this month I had promised the donation but unfortunately it could not be because I got some expenses that did not count on them and I have to solve them urgently, that does not mean that I forget the promised donation, when I have solved everything I do the donation
Thank you once again for your kind comment! It really means a lot to us. Please don't be apologetic, your constant support on our videos is amazing and we are very thankful for it :)
On days like that, it has to be the best job in the world.
Very much so! :D
I love Simon!!!
Thank you :)
Cute little fella.
Yeah, Simon is adorable.
Sweet kiddo!
Clearly had no lingerie it wanted but loved the ground floor cafe ..Great rescue Simon *
Haha! Thank you! :D
There are fewer things cuter than a hedgehog , unless it's Simon growling .
Haha! I will take that as a compliment! ;)
Yay, you fed him!! I always wish you would feed every animal before letting it go. Like when you relocate a swan, and just leave him on his own in an unfamiliar location to fend for himself. I think why can't you just toss a few handfuls of oats or whatever they eat into the water?
So, great job again! Keep it up!
Thank you! We always try to feed if needed, but allowing an animal to eat in a highly stressful or very weak situation can actually have a negative effect. We always try and make sure everything is calm and the animal is not overly dehydrated or collapsed when we give support feeds :)
Did I catch you suggesting leaving water in the garden for the wildlife? :-)
It's been dry for several years here in Czechia. We've been leaving a bowl out this year - mostly we saw sparrows at it, no hedgehogs that I know of, but there were definitely also lizards...
Definitely! It can be the difference between life and death - especially in the hotter months! Thank you for doing your bit to help your local wildlife :)
The Czech Ornithological Society (which seems to be increasingly gaining traction in wildlife-care circles in recent years because they do a lot of practical things people can participate in) has kept reminding people to do it on their Facebook page. Some people mentioned they can't leave it on the ground because they have cats around, so it mostly serves birds; but we're able to keep it close to the ground for everyone to use!
I'm wondering, have you ever done any videos in that vein, i.e. a sort of "wildlife first aid for laymen", the sort of thing one can do in one's everyday life, like the above? I know a lot of advice is scattered in your videos, and it occurred to me that maybe, with your experience, you would be able to compile a sort of checklist-video or videos of things to do and things to avoid to prevent the most common mishaps. From my own experience, when one is a town-dweller with a liking for wildlife but little practical knowledge, such suggestions that help one do one's own part are absolutely fantastic. You do have a lot of followers and now also abroad (see: me), so you could reach a pretty big audience with that, and people could share it on social networks etc.
A random tidbit: There's a Czech smartphone app that should help call the nearest wildlife aid station if you find an injured animal - I think it was developed by some IT students. If such a thing doesn't exist for UK or other countries yet, I'm throwing it out here for people to pick up on.
Il est équipé ❤❤❤👍👍👍trop fort 😀😀😀
I start school tomorrow, and I have to say this summer holidays were fantastic! It's beautiful to still have a lot of wildlife in heavy human-modified Countries like Italy ( but sadly not all animals thrive: yesterday an endangered Egypitian Vulture was shot in Sicily). I saw these animals for the first time in the wild:
1)Barn owl- in an abandoned house in the countryside in Ginosa (a small town in Apulia)
2)Griffon Vulture- on the Appenines
3)Raven- on the Alps
4)Carrion Crow- On the Alps (In Italy we have Hooded Crows so it's rare to see a Carrion one here)
5)Alpine Marmot- On the Alps
And yesterday at a rescue center I know here in Apulia a young Italian Wolf was taken in! Unfortunately he has severe mange so let's hope all goes well.
Have a great day!!
Aw great work
Thank you!
Simon is my celebrity crush! 😂
Haha! I'm not sure what to say! :P
Simon and crew to the rescue💕❤️ First floor lingerie...lol Great post- thank you:)
Thank you very much!
I love what you do. xx
Aww thank you!
The hedgehog is so cute when it closed in!
They are very cute! :D
What a handsome little hedgehog.
Definitely agree :)
I love hedgehog vids
Thank you for the extra information. Doubt I will get to UK but if so my fences will have hedgehog holes. Likely decorated like hobbit doors. 😄
And you can put out a hedgehog house! :-)
It’s that time of year there will be a lot of hedge hogs at wild life aid
Sadly yes.. we are just getting young hedgehogs in as I type this.
At least if they are with you they are out of harms way
Cutifuls.
Haha!
Wonderful show.
Thank you!
I really lovess those cute animal :D
Thank you :D
i luv heghogs
the one cute ball of spikes that inspired my top favourite childhood fictional hero! ^^
Well done I love wildlife and also hedgehogs
Thank you very much! I'm glad you do :)
I’m guessing that one of the things on W.A.’s wishlist is a bunch of trunk organizers for Simon’s car?
I love this channel
Aww thank you that's really nice of you to say :)
What a cute little fella. :>)
They are very cute!
❤🦔❤
I want to hug him but it's sad i cant
I've got a very important question. Are hedgehogs soft on the non-pointy side?
Their underbelly is very soft :)
And if they are tame they love being rubbed around the edge of the spiky "shield".
❤
💞
When I'm older I would love to be part of wildlife aid. Are you paid to do it? Love you!
Jorja Scorer they more than likely get paid by the people, but they also make money off of TH-cam and donations to buy more supplies for the animals they rescue im sure
We do have a small number of staff, but 99% of the WAF team are volunteers. We do not charge for our services and rely entirely on public donations :)
@@wildlifeaid thank you for replying! I'm only young ( not quite a teenager ) but I love all animals.
That's great to hear! Hopefully we will see you as a volunteer in the future. We'd love to have you! :)
We have a urban hedgehog at college he can’t be released as everytime we leave him in his outdoor pen he refuses to eat he accidentally got strummed he’s doing extremely well tho his names pickle 😊
awwwwwwwww
Your car mess is a tradition now. I would be sad if it actualy got tidy.
2:21 That’s me in the background
shut up
Nice
I always love the hedgehogs
Thank you! I'm glad you do :)
Poor hedgie, amazing video
Thank you!
Aww thats so cute...I would be your assistant but I live in Los Angeles California and hedgehogs are actually illegal to own here in california...and I do not know why.
Thank you! If you ever find yourself in the UK we'd love to have you on board as a volunteer! :)
Can you please clarify what Simon’s nickname for these cuties are? Is he saying hoglet or poglet? This video surely sounded like he said poglet, which I think is the cutest. Thank you!!
Simon will readily switch between hoglet and poglet, but poglet is probably his most used :)
@@wildlifeaid thank you for replying. I do love poglet better!! Thanks for all that you do for those incredibly precious wildlife💕
👍👍😁🌷
I HATE PEOPLE WHO DRIVE OVER THEM ON PURPOSE
whoosh! you now have ringworm
As always, great rescue. What did they feed the hedgehog?
Looked like dog/cat food to me. Good food for them as long as it's not fish based
Tinned cat or dog food. I leave out a bowl of cat biscuits, they love 'em.
Thanks! It was dog food that the family had spare :)
Awesome! Thanks for replying you all, and what amazing people you are at the Wokdlife Aid, blessings to you !!
Thank you! That's very kind of you :)
Simon, it may be actually time to tidy up your car :P
I think the time for that was 3-4 months ago :P
Clean that car Simon!
Also that little boy was adorable! Future wildlife activist in the making?
Hopefully! He had a lot of interest and knowledge in hedgehogs that's for sure :)
As for the car... I'm working on it! :P
You should tell, what you are feeding. I was totally lost with two little swallow babys who died on me as I was unable to get enough insects. Please teach us!
You can take courses to learn that type of things. Check with your local wildlife Centers .
This little guy was given mashed up dog food for a bit of a boost before he went back home. If it is more long-term then add dried dog or cat biscuits to avoid tooth rot. Never feed them on mealworms alone because it can (in certain cases) lead to metabolic bone disease :)
Cure Hedgie!
love
Thank you!
Sonic falls again....
Hi
Hello!
A happy hedgie home free!
Always the best type :)
Is it spiky tho ?!?!!?!?
nah its fluffy
feels liek sandpaper
Well Simon you're kind of doomed about your car, you complain about it so much that its a channel meme now, if you clean it we miss the clutter lol.
Why on earth would you put a thumbs down what is wrong with people? Maybe I should insert my thumb into their head...😳👊😳😂😂
