De reden ? Er zat een klein egeltje midden op de weg !
Ik heb het kleintje voorzichtig opgepakt en omdat we toch maar 1 straat van huis waren heb ik hem meegenomen en thuis even de dierenambulance gebeld wat we het beste met hem (of haar) konden doen.
Ik mocht een paar kattenbrokjes geven en het diertje in de buurt van struiken neerzetten.
Nou hebben we die in onze buurt meer dan genoeg en we hebben ook een aantal lekkere slakken in de voortuin, dus die kleine heeft een feestmaal gehad !
Wat kunnen die kleine pootjes hard rennen zeg !
Last night we had a familydinner and when we drove back home I let John stop the car in the middle of the road.
The reason ? A small hedgehog !
He was sitting in the middle of the road, drinking from a pool of water...
I picked him up since we were only 1 street away from our home and when we arrived home I called Animalservices to ask them what I could do best with him since it was just a small one.
They told me that he was old enough to survive on it's own and I could give him some catfood (no milk !!).
Then I could release it into our garden, with some bushes nearby.
The little one ate the catfood with much joy and there were also some slugs in our garden, so he had a feastmeal !
I had just enough time to take some pics, because after that he ran away as quick as his little legs could carry him !
