Wildlife rescue charity issues unusual appeal after hedgehog influx

Wildlife rescue charity Secret World has this week appealed to Burnham-On-Sea residents for help in dealing with an influx of hedgehogs.

"We are in desperate need of unwanted rabbit hutches which can be used to accommodate our increasing number of hedgehogs," said a spokeswoman from the East Huntspill charity.

"We now have over 50 hedgehogs in our care and with more expected over the coming months we now need hutches to help us accommodate them."

"They will also assist with the releasing of orphaned hedgehogs once fit and well back into the wild."

To help, contact Secret World on 01278 783250.
