𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗛𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲𝗵𝗼𝗴? 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗗𝗼

Hedgehogs are nocturnal, so it can be a shock to see one out during the day. They could be injured, unwell, or simply looking for food they were unable to find overnight.

Don’t panic immediately, observe them first. If they appear happy and healthy, with no obvious signs of illness or injury, leave them where they are. You can offer a shallow dish of water and some meaty food such as cat, dog, or hedgehog food.

𝗜𝗳 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗺 𝗜𝗻𝗷𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝗨𝗻𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹
Signs a hedgehog may be unwell include:
▪ Wobbly movement
▪ Lethargy or collapse
▪ Obvious injuries or wounds
▪ Flies surrounding them
▪ Hoglets found alone (baby hedgehogs are vulnerable and should be treated as injured or unwell)

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗼 𝗗𝗼
▪Use gardening gloves or a towel to carefully pick up the hedgehog and place it into a high-sided box or pet carrier.
▪Bring the box indoors and keep it away from flies.
▪Keep the hedgehog in a quiet room away from pets and children, and try not to disturb it too much.
▪Unless it is a very hot day, wrap a hot water bottle in a towel and place it in the box, leaving enough space for the hedgehog to move away from the heat source if needed. Gently place another towel over the top of the hedgehog.
▪Offer small amounts of meaty food (cat, dog, or hedgehog food) and water in a shallow bowl.
▪If you find a small hedgehog or hoglet, check the surrounding area for others.

🌾 HAY = the MOST important part of your rabbit’s diet! 🌾

If there’s one thing every bunny needs unlimited access to… it’s hay! 💚

Why?
🌾 Hay is packed with long-strand fibre, which is essential for keeping your rabbit’s digestive system moving properly. A healthy gut depends on it! 🐰✨
🌾 Those same long fibres also help naturally wear down constantly growing teeth, helping prevent painful dental problems.

🐰 FACT:
Rabbit teeth grow continuously throughout their lives (they are “open-rooted”), so they must chew high-fibre foods like hay and grass every single day to keep them naturally worn down.

🌿 Types of hay your bunny can enjoy:
Variety is great for keeping bunnies interested and encouraging good eating habits!
- Timothy Hay 🥬
- Meadow Hay 🌼
- Orchard Grass Hay 🌾
💡 Different textures and smells help prevent boredom and support consistent hay intake.

💚 Top tip:
Good quality hay should be fresh, sweet-smelling, and available all day, every day. If your bunny eats more hay, their gut + teeth will thank you! 🐇✨

🥬🐰 Fresh leafy greens have many benefits in a rabbit's diet!

They help encourage natural foraging behaviours, provide enrichment, and add variety to your rabbit's daily meals.

You can find a range of rabbit safe greens at your local supermarket, including:
• Romaine lettuce
• Spring greens
• Curly kale
• Carrot tops
• Parsley

🌱 Green thumb? Why not plant a herb or vegetable garden for your bunnies to enjoy?

You can also forage a variety of rabbit safe plants while out on a walk, including:
• Blackberry leaves
• Dandelions
• Rose leaves and petals
• Lemon balm
• Ribwort plantain

⚠️ Please thoroughly wash all foraged plants before feeding them to your rabbits to help reduce the risk of disease transmission, including Myxomatosis and Rabbit Viral Haemorrhagic Disease (RVHD).

🌾 Remember, fresh greens should be fed alongside unlimited access to good-quality hay, not as a substitute for it.

When introducing new greens, offer one type at a time and monitor your rabbit's faecal output for any changes.

💚 What are your rabbits' favourite greens?

Take a look on the Rabbit Welfare Association and Funds website for a list of bunny safe greens:

This week, we'll be focusing on the importance of providing a correct, balanced diet for your rabbits. We'll explore what a healthy rabbit diet should look like and share ways to make mealtimes more engaging through enrichment activities that encourage natural foraging behaviours.

What are your rabbits' favourite foods or enrichment activities? We'd love to hear from you in the comments below!

🐰 RABBIT AWARENESS WEEK 2026 STARTS IN 2 DAYS! 🐰
We thought we would start by letting you in on some bunny facts.

STARTING WITH CECOTROPHS
Yes, you read that correctly... Rabbits do eat their own faeces, and it's a vital part of their diet, helping them gain every bit of nutrition from their food.

Caecotrophs look different from normal faeces. They are soft, shiny and smelly. Rabbits normally eat them directly from their bottom as they are produced, and you should only see the pellets themselves every once in a while.

WHAT SHOULD YOU LOOK OUT FOR?
If you are seeing these droppings, which can resemble a bunch of grapes, frequently in your rabbit's house or sometimes stuck to their bottom, we would urge a vet visit, as it may be caused by an underlying issue such as arthritis or a digestive problem.

WHY DOES THIS MATTER?
Rabbit poos tell us a lot about how their tummies are feeling. As rabbits are prey animals, watching out for changes in their faeces can help us identify when they are feeling unwell before they start to show more symptoms and become more poorly.
